How to care for and handle your silver925 products
Material
All of the silver used in our store is made of silver925 , also known as sterling silver.
It is pure and soft, with a bright, beautiful shine that is immediately noticeable when compared to the silver color of brass plating.
What is Silver 925? Silver 92.5% is silver and 7.5% is copper. 925 is said to be strong and is a mixture ratio that is mainly suitable for accessories.
Handling Precautions
Silver has a high thermal conductivity, so you should avoid wearing it in places with high or low temperatures to prevent burns or frostbite.
Please handle with care as the material is soft.
The back of the earring may become loose or the post may bend, but you can adjust it by pinching it with your hand.
After trying various methods, here's the one that works best for cleaning.
※Please note: This method was tested only with Eat's silver products.
We cannot be held responsible for other brands' products. Please try at your own discretion.
What You'll Need
・Heat-resistant container (Tupperware works fine)
・Baking soda powder (available at dollar stores or drugstores)
・Aluminum foil
・Spoon
・Kitchen paper or towel (something to wipe away moisture)
・The EAT silver accessory you want to polish
・If possible, a silver polishing cloth with abrasive for the final finish
Preparation
・Prepare hot water (boiling is fine; it dissolves the baking soda. Hotter water seems to clean faster)
Be extremely careful not to burn yourself
Procedure
1. Line a basin with aluminum foil and place the silver accessory you wish to polish inside
2. Add enough hot water to fully submerge the silver

3. Put an appropriate amount of baking soda powder into a spoon and sprinkle it evenly over the silver.
If you have a lot of necklaces or silver items, cover them all with baking soda (the baking soda and aluminum foil will create bubbles).
If the smell is strong, ventilate the room.
4. Leave it for about 30 minutes (the dirt will come out and the water will turn yellow).
※Be careful not to get burned! Do not leave it and do not touch the silver immediately! Wait until the hot water has cooled down.
5. Once the water has cooled, remove the silver from the basin, apply mild kitchen detergent, wash it thoroughly with your fingers, and rinse with water.
6. At this point it is pretty clean, but after removing the water with paper or towel,
If you wipe off the remaining black spots and dirt with a silver cloth, the dirt that could not be removed with just the cloth will come off.
It will be reborn as shiny as new.
If the stains do not come off on small necklaces such as chains, try cleaning with baking soda two or three times.
Silver material may react with the components of sweat and turn black, but this varies from person to person and some people will not turn black no matter what they wear.
The appeal of silver is that there is no need to worry about the paint peeling off, and if you take good care of it, you can use it for a long time.
Please try this if your skin has discolored after bathing in a hot spring or turned yellowish due to sweat.
Eat's silver can be washed and sanitized, so you can use it for a long time.
*However, this was only tested with Eat Silver.
Other companies' products are labeled as silver and have a special coating on the surface, or only have a silver925 coating.
