How to Keep Your Jewels Shining?
Polish your silver jewelry occasionally to prevent tarnish from oxidation. Store it in an airtight container when not in use, and avoid exposure to moisture, perfumes, lotions, or chemicals. Wearing silver regularly helps maintain its shine, and for deeper cleaning, soak in warm soapy water, rinse, dry, and polish gently.

Silver Recycling
Source: Recycled silver is obtained from scrap jewellery, electronics, and industrial waste.
Silver Content: The recycling process typically recovers about 95-98% of the silver content from these sources.
Energy Consumption:
The recycling of silver involves melting, refining, and shaping processes. The energy consumption can vary but is generally estimated at around 3-5 kWh per kilogram of silver processed.
For 100 grams (0.1 kg), the energy usage would be approximately 0.3 to 0.5 kWh.
Water Usage:
The recycling process also requires water for cooling and cleaning. While estimates vary, around 5-10 litres of water may be used per kilogram of silver recycled. For 100 grams, this equates to approximately 0.5 to 1 litre.
Chemical Usage:
Chemicals may be used in the refining process to remove impurities. This could involve the use of acids or other solvents, although the amounts can be minimal and vary by technique. An average estimate might suggest 0.1 to 0.5 litres of chemical solutions per kilogram processed.
