Cuidado de las joyas de plata de ley
Un sencillo ritual de lujo para mantener tus joyas VALHALLU brillantes, pulidas y hermosas durante años.
La plata hermosa necesita un poco de cuidado.

925 Sterling Silver
Our sterling silver jewellery is made with 92.5% pure silver combined with other metals for strength and durability.
Natural Tarnish
Tarnish is a natural surface reaction and does not usually mean that your jewellery is damaged. Moisture, humidity, perspiration, cosmetics, chlorine, bleach, sulfur and other chemicals can accelerate the process.
Everyday Beauty
Gentle cleaning, sensible wear and proper storage help keep your favourite pieces looking beautiful and reduce unnecessary wear on the silver.
Un delicado ritual de seis pasos.
Para el cuidado habitual, mantén el proceso sencillo. Evita el pulido agresivo, los materiales abrasivos y los productos químicos fuertes, especialmente en piedras delicadas o acabados especiales.
Prepare
Use a soft, clean lint-free cloth and lukewarm water. For suitable plain-silver pieces, a small amount of mild soap may be used.
Clean
Gently wipe the silver. For suitable intricate areas, a very soft brush may be used with light pressure.
Rinse
If soap was used, rinse carefully with clean lukewarm water and make sure no residue remains.
Dry
Pat completely dry with a soft cloth. Do not put jewellery away while it is still damp.
Polish
When appropriate, use a dedicated silver-polishing cloth with gentle strokes. Avoid heavy pressure or repeated aggressive polishing.
Admire
Once completely dry, return your jewellery to a clean, protected storage place until you are ready to wear it again.
Los pequeños hábitos marcan la diferencia.
El cuidado de la plata comienza antes de limpiarla. Limitar la exposición innecesaria a la humedad, los productos químicos y la abrasión física puede reducir considerablemente el deslustre y el desgaste.
Do
- Remove jewellery before swimming, bathing or showering.
- Remove jewellery before exercise, household chores or physical activity.
- Put jewellery on after perfume, hairspray, lotions and cosmetics have dried.
- Wipe pieces gently with a soft cloth after wearing.
- Keep jewellery completely dry when it is not being worn.
- Store pieces separately to reduce scratching and tangling.
Don't
- Do not expose silver unnecessarily to bleach, chlorine or strong household cleaners.
- Do not scrub silver with abrasive materials.
- Do not use harsh chemicals on delicate gemstones.
- Do not store damp jewellery in a closed box or pouch.
- Do not keep jewellery in the bathroom where humidity is high.
- Do not aggressively polish plated, oxidised or intentionally textured finishes.
Deja que la piedra guíe el cuidado.
No todas las piedras preciosas reaccionan igual a la humedad, el calor y los productos químicos. Cuando una pieza contiene una piedra delicada o porosa, elige el método más suave y evita remojarla innecesariamente o usar productos de limpieza fuertes.
| Stone | Recommended care |
|---|---|
| Cubic Zirconia | Clean gently with lukewarm water and mild soap when suitable, then rinse and dry thoroughly. |
| Amethyst | Clean gently and avoid prolonged exposure to heat and harsh chemicals. |
| Garnet | Use gentle cleaning and avoid strong chemicals, abrasive tools and unnecessary impact. |
| Peridot | Handle carefully and avoid harsh cleaners, abrasive materials and sudden temperature changes. |
| Opal | Keep away from harsh chemicals, prolonged soaking and excessive heat. Wipe gently rather than using aggressive cleaning. |
| Turquoise | Avoid perfumes, oils, chemicals and prolonged contact with water. Wipe gently with a soft cloth. |
| Black Onyx | Use a soft damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals and prolonged soaking. |
No todos los acabados de plata deben pulirse de la misma manera.
Algunas joyas reciben intencionadamente un acabado oscuro, oxidado, chapado o texturizado. Estas superficies requieren un tratamiento más delicado que la plata pulida sencilla.
Oxidised Silver
An oxidised finish is intentionally darkened to create contrast and character. Avoid silver polish and aggressive rubbing, as these can remove the darker finish. When necessary, clean gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Plated Finishes
Plated surfaces can gradually wear with use. Avoid abrasive polishing and unnecessary exposure to chemicals, perfumes, chlorine and harsh cleaners.
Textured Details
Decorative textures and deliberately finished surfaces should be treated gently. Avoid vigorous rubbing that could alter the appearance of the design.
Guárdala como un tesoro.
La forma de guardar las joyas entre usos es tan importante como la forma de limpiarlas.
Separate
Keep pieces in individual pouches or compartments so chains do not tangle and surfaces do not rub against one another.
Dry
Choose a cool, dry place away from bathrooms, direct sunlight and excessive humidity.
Protected
Close boxes or pouches when jewellery is not being worn to reduce unnecessary exposure to air, moisture and everyday contaminants.
En caso de duda, elige un cuidado delicado.
Si una pieza tiene un acabado inusual, una piedra delicada, un chapado o una montura elaborada, evita experimentar con productos de limpieza fuertes. El cuidado delicado es la opción más segura. Para joyas muy deslustradas o especialmente delicadas, puede ser preferible una limpieza profesional a un pulido agresivo en casa.
El cuidado, explicado de forma sencilla.
Why does sterling silver tarnish?
Sterling silver naturally reacts with substances in its environment. Moisture, humidity, perspiration, cosmetics, chlorine, sulfur, bleach and other chemicals can accelerate tarnishing.
Can I wear sterling silver in the shower?
It is better to remove it. Water, soap, shampoo and humidity can contribute to tarnishing and may also be unsuitable for some gemstones or special finishes.
Can I wear my jewellery while swimming?
We recommend removing jewellery before swimming, especially in chlorinated or salt water. Chlorine and other environmental factors can accelerate tarnishing and may affect some gemstones and finishes.
How often should I clean my jewellery?
Light cleaning can be done whenever a piece looks dull or after frequent wear. More thorough cleaning can be occasional, depending on how often the jewellery is worn and the type of finish or gemstone.
Can I use toothpaste to clean silver?
It is not recommended. Toothpaste can contain abrasive particles that may scratch silver and delicate finishes.
How often should I polish sterling silver?
Polish only when necessary. Repeated or aggressive polishing can gradually remove a small amount of the silver surface and may affect special finishes.
What about oxidised silver?
Oxidised silver is intentionally darkened. Avoid silver polish and aggressive rubbing, as these can remove the oxidised finish. When necessary, clean gently with a soft, dry cloth.
What should I do if my jewellery becomes heavily tarnished?
Start with gentle cleaning. If the piece has delicate gemstones, plating, an oxidised finish or intricate details, avoid aggressive polishing and consider professional jewellery cleaning instead.
How should I store silver jewellery?
Keep each piece clean and completely dry, preferably in a soft individual pouch or lined compartment, away from humidity, direct sunlight and excessive heat.
