Jewelry care

Care of silver jewelry.

Silver requires special care to maintain its appearance and to last longer. The 925 silver used by PITÒ is a combination of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper to improve shine, strength and resistance.

Daily care


Silver oxidizes when exposed to salt air, chlorine, sulfur, moisture, sweat, cosmetics, household bleach and other harsh chemicals. To avoid oxidation as much as possible, it is recommended to store our creations in a safe and dry place when practicing the following activities:

  • Home and outdoor jobs
  • When showering, bathing, or swimming in pools, hot tubs, hot springs, and seawater
  • While using lotions, hair products, perfumes and other cosmetics
  • In the gym or during contact sports
  • During meal preparation

How to clean silver


1. Apply a small amount of silver jewelry liquid to a soft cloth.

2. Rub gently with the cloth several times.

3. Rinse the silver well with warm water.

4. Pat dry and polish the silver polishing gloves. This will remove the oxidation and restore the brightness.
