Know before you buy

Pure silver will naturally develop a patina or tarnish over time, which many enthusiasts find adds character and depth to the piece. If you prefer a polished look, you can gently clean it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth, but avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the finish.
