SILVER CARE

At MOSSA, we work only with precious metals: silver and gold. Some of our pieces are coated with colored nano-ceramic. And while these materials may look strong and unshakable, they're actually a little delicate - just like us.
Silver has many advantages over other alloys: it never wears away, since it’s solid all the way through. It won't turn blue or yellow, won't leave marks on your skin, and can always be polished back to its original glow - just as radiant as the day you bought it.
To keep your jewelry shiny, follow a few simple steps. Store it in a dry place, ideally in the soft velvet pouch we include with every MOSSA piece. Occasionally wash it with warm water and a drop of soap, then gently pat dry with a soft cloth.
Also, remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or visiting saunas, and avoid spraying perfume directly onto it. Moisture and household chemicals can dull the shine of your jewelry and affect its look. Even with the best care, silver may change with time - that's part of its nature. So what should you do to keep it shining beautifully for years?
! Important: These tips apply only to glossy silver finishes. Matte (satin), gold-plated, or nano-ceramic pieces require special care and should not be polished or soaked. Reach out to us, and we'll guide you on how to restore them safely.
How to care for silver jewelry?
Silver is a rather soft metal, which means a bump against harder surfaces may leave unpleasant marks. A highly polished finish may gradually turn more matte. The beauty of silver jewelry is that it can be easily polished without losing its properties and shape - only getting better.
How to polish silver jewelry?
You can use a silver polishing cloth (easy to find online for about 10 euro).
Try using a very soft nail buffing file - it works perfectly to bring back the original shine.
You can also take it to a jeweler for professional polishing (usually 10- 20 euro).

What to do if you noticed scratches and scuffs?

Or send it back to us - we'll have it polished at our workshop until it gleams like new.
Sometimes, if jewelry is stored in high humidity or worn frequently in the shower, bath, or during workouts, a dark or colored patina may appear on the surface. Our pieces are crafted only from 925 sterling silver, which is either plated with a thin layer of 999 fine silver for extra durability, so tarnish is rare - but still possible.
To remove patina, you can use a commercial silver cleaning solution and follow the instructions written on the label.
Or try a simple at-home method: add two teaspoons of baking soda and drop in a ball of aluminum foil to a glass of hot boiled water. Place your jewelry in the solution for 20 minutes. Then rinse, dry with a towel, and let it rest on a soft cloth. This simple reaction removes oxidation and any discoloration.
Caring for silver isn't complicated - it just takes a little attention. You can easily do it yourself, ask a local jeweler, or reach out to us anytime. We'll guide you toward the best way to keep your jewelry radiant. After all, silver pieces are not just accessories, but real treasures designed to bring lasting joy.
