Benefits and Care for Sterling Silver

Benefits and Care for Sterling Silver

Why Sterling Silver?

Hummingbirdfcsg was created with intention—offering jewelry that’s not only elegant, but kind to the skin. Many people with sensitive skin (like the founder) know the frustration of wearing jewelry that causes irritation, itchiness, or even reactions. Sterling silver became the answer—a beautiful metal that’s gentle, trustworthy, and wearable all day.

The goal has always been simple: to create pieces that feel as good as they look, so anyone can wear them with confidence and ease.

What Makes Sterling Silver so Special?

There’s something quietly luxurious about sterling silver. It doesn’t scream for attention, but its glow is unmistakable. Some of the reasons it’s so well-loved:

  • Hypoallergenic: Suitable for most sensitive skin types
  • Timeless and versatile: Pairs effortlessly with everyday looks or special occasions
  • Long-lasting: With care, pieces can last for years or even become keepsakes
  • Accessible: It’s a precious metal that feels special, yet stays within reach

Sterling silver offers beauty that doesn’t come at the cost of comfort or practicality.

Does Sterling Silver Have Any Downsides?

Like all precious things, it needs a bit of care. Firstly, sterling silver can darken over time, especially with exposure to air and moisture. It’s a natural process, not a flaw.

Solutions:

  • Store pieces in airtight pouches or boxes to reduce contact with air.
  • Use the complimentary polishing cloth included with every order to keep the shine alive.
  • Try a gentle home cleaning trick: Line a bowl with aluminum foil, sprinkle in baking soda, and pour hot water over your jewelry. Let it sit a few minutes, rinse, and dry. The shine returns naturally—no chemicals needed.

Secondly, sterling silver is a softer metal, so rough handling may cause light marks.

Solutions:

  • Avoid wearing during physical activities or sleep
  • Keep pieces separated in soft pouches, anti-oxidation bags, or fabric-lined compartments
  • Handle with a little extra love—it’s worth it

How can Sterling Silver Jewelry be Kept Looking its Best?

Gentle habits go a long way:

  • Wipe jewelry with a soft cloth after wearing
  • Keep it dry and away from lotions, perfumes, and water
  • Store it mindfully—separately, and ideally in an airtight space
  • Clean it every now and then with baking soda and warm water (see method above)

These simple steps help each piece stay radiant, wearable, and ready for every moment.

We hope you will enjoy the fine sterling silver pieces @Hummingbirdfcsg.

With Love,
