How to Care for Sterling Silver Jewelry
Sterling silver is timeless and elegant, but it can tarnish naturally over time.
Best practices:
-
Store in a dry, airtight pouch
-
Avoid water, perfume, and lotions
-
Gently clean with a silver polishing cloth
-
Wear often; natural skin oils help reduce tarnish
💡 Tip: Light tarnish is normal and easy to remove — it doesn’t mean poor quality.
How to Care for 316L Stainless Steel Jewelry
316L stainless steel is one of the most durable and low-maintenance metals, making it ideal for sensitive skin and everyday wear.
Best practices:
-
Clean with warm water and mild soap
-
Dry with a soft cloth
-
Store separately to avoid scratching other pieces
✔ Rust-resistant
✔ Tarnish-resistant
✔ HypoallergenicThis is why Veve London uses 316L stainless steel in select designs.

Moissanite is a lifetime stone with exceptional brilliance.
Best practices:

Won’t cloud over time

Retains sparkle with minimal effort
-
It's perfect for everyday luxury

Cubic zirconia is beautiful and affordable, but requires a little extra care.
