a note on sterling silver
Sterling silver, as we all know, tarnish over time.  Tarnishing is a natural process by which the silver metal loses its shiny luster and turns into a dark gray-black color.  There are a few things we can do to stop this process from occurring.  I highly recommend storing a small piece of anti-tarnish paper in the bag or box where the sterling silver jewelry is kept.  This paper is not known to be harmful to precious metals, such as gold and silver, and protects it from tarnishing.

a note on vermeil
Vermeil is simply gold-plated sterling silver, and it looks just like gold.  Much like sterling silver jewelry, vermeil jewelry can tarnish over time and wear, so it would then be wise to care for vermeil jewelry in the same manner as you would care for silver jewelry.

a note on jewelry care
For most jewelry, washing with soap or chemical cleaners is too abrasive, especially if the pieces contain gemstones.  Vermeil and Sterling Silver jewelry do not need to be cleaned with harsh chemicals.  Usually, polishing and buffing with a soft cloth is sufficient maintenance to keep it shiny.
