How to look after my sterling silver bracelet? What effect does water have on sterling silver?
I have this bracelet from Links of London: http://www.linksoflondon.com/gb-en/online-shop/wom...
Does anyone have any advice on how to clean it, and the effect water has on sterling silver?
I hardly take my bracelet off (been wearing it straight for 3 months now), i wear it sort of as one of those bracelets you never really remove, and it just occurred to me recently that this could actually be bad for the bracelet! I have a 5-10 minute shower every morning, could this damage it? Apart from that, it's mostly under my jumper in the school day.
Should i remove it nightly? How often and how should i clean it? I also have a tiny area of black tarnish on the underside of one of the charms (from when i left the bracelet in my jewelry box and hardly wore it for a few years!), does anyone have any advice on how to remove it? :)
Thank-you in advance! 10 points for best answer! :)

Sterling silver will not rust and will not be damaged by water. However, some common chemicals that you come into contact with (even in soaps and shampoos) can damage precious metals, so it would be best if you removed it before showering.
Wearing it at night is fine unless it is very delicate where it could get bent.
Sterling silver is prone to oxidisation (the black marking you have noticed) which is what happens when the copper that is mixed in with the silver to make it hard, oxidises in a chemical reaction to the air. It would be best to give it a wipe over with a silver polishing cloth every few weeks to keep it looking its best. These cloths are impregnated with a polishing compound that will help the silver to shine - you should be able to get them from the supermarket or a jewellery store.

From the current Coca-Cola London Eye to the ancient Tower of London, London has significantly to provide, see more with Hotelbye . In London you may also find the world-famous British Museum. British Museum demonstrates the operates of man from prehistoric to modern times, from across the world. Features include the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon sculptures and the mummies in the Ancient Egypt collection. Still another place to see in London is the London's National Gallery, a huge space full of Western European paintings from the 13th to the 19th centuries. In that gallery you may find works by professionals such as for instance Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Botticelli, Constable, Renoir, Titian and Stubbs. London is really a place where you can see the past and the further in the same place.

I would definitely recommend taking it off in the shower. It could tarnish or rust with water! You may also want to take it off when your sleeping because you could damage it or lose it. For cleaning you can use a special cloth they sell for silver or use a silver cleaner when it gets tarnished. Hope this helps!!
