1. Avoid Exposure to Moisture: German Silver/Oxidized silver is particularly sensitive to moisture. Keep your jewellery dry at all times to prevent tarnishing. Remove your jewellery before showering, swimming, or engaging in water-related activities.
   
   
2. Keep Away from Chemicals: Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and household cleaning products. These can accelerate tarnishing. Put on your jewellery after applying cosmetics or fragrances to reduce exposure.
   
   
3. Storage Matters: Store your German silver/oxidised silver jewellery in an airtight container, like a zip-lock bag, to minimise exposure to air and moisture.
   
   
4. Gentle Cleaning: Clean your jewellery regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and oils. Gently buff the surface to restore shine. For more stubborn tarnish, use a silver polishing cloth or a non-abrasive silver cleaning solution, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
   
   
5. Avoid Scratches: Oxidised silver can be more susceptible to scratches than regular silver. Store your pieces separately or use jewellery pouches to prevent abrasion.
   
   
6. Wear with Care: Be mindful of your jewellery while wearing it. Avoid exposing it to unnecessary stress, like bending or twisting.
   
   
7. Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect your jewellery for loose stones, clasps, or any signs of damage. Promptly address any issues to prevent further damage.
   
   
8. Reoxidizing: Over time, the darkened finish of oxidised silver may naturally wear away. Some jewellers offer reoxidizing services to restore the original look.

By following these simple guidelines, you can enjoy the enduring beauty of your oxidised silver jewellery collection. Remember, proper care ensures that your cherished pieces remain as stunning as the day you acquired them.
