Over time they lose luster from ordinary wear and improper storage and need cleaning. There are many cleaning methods but some can actually damage delicate silver surfaces. Care should be used in routinely cleaning away traces of perspiration, cosmetics and hairspray, so that the silver tiffany necklace retains its original beauty.
