CARE OF SILVER.
REAL SILVER. REAL CHARACTER.
Silver lives. It changes, it breathes, it only gets more beautiful over time.
PALM. Jewelry is made of real 925 sterling silver, a precious metal that never fades, but does deserve attention.
Here you can read how to maintain it, clean it and keep its shine.
WHAT MAKES 925 STERLING SILVER UNIQUE.
All our jewelry is made of 925 sterling silver. That means 92.5% is pure silver, supplemented with a small share of copper for strength.
Pure silver is too soft to wear every day. 925 silver offers the perfect balance between purity and strength.
Over time silver can get slightly darker. That is called oxidation, a natural reaction with oxygen. It is not wear, but a sign of real silver.
A gentle polish with our included silver cloth easily brings back the original shine.
HOW TO BEST CARE FOR YOUR SILVER JEWELRY.
Wear your jewelry with confidence, but also with care. Avoid contact with seawater, perfume and cleaning products.
Wear it often, silver stays shinier when it is worn.
Clean it now and then with a soft cloth or a suitable silver polish. With every order you get a free polishing cloth with silver polish from us, developed especially to keep your PALM. jewelry at its original shine.
Want to clean your silver extra deeply. Then you can also clean it with baking powder (baking soda):
Put a piece of aluminum foil in a bowl, place your jewelry on top, add hot water and a little baking soda, and let it fizz for a few minutes.
Rinse with clean water and dry carefully with a soft cloth. This removes oxidation in a natural way, without affecting the silver.
Silver is not meant to stay perfect. It is meant to gain character. Just like you.

FAQ.
Yes. Oxidation is normal with 925 sterling silver. A silver cloth or a suitable silver polish brings the shine back effortlessly.
Over time and with friction, the thin layer of rhodium can wear off. That is normal. The 925 silver underneath stays intact and keeps its quality.
Store them dry and dark, preferably in the original PALM. pouch or box. Keep them separate from other jewelry to prevent scratches.
When a soft silver cloth is no longer enough, use a quality silver cleaner or the polishing cloth you receive with your order. Follow the instructions carefully and dry the jewelry well afterwards.
Yes. It is a natural way to remove tarnish. Place aluminum foil in a bowl, put your jewelry on top, add hot water and a little baking soda, let it fizz, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
The 925 stamp guarantees that the jewelry is made of 92.5% pure silver. It is an internationally recognized hallmark for genuine sterling silver.
When silver comes into contact with oxygen, moisture or sulfur (for example from perfume or skin oils), a dark layer forms. This is normal and easy to remove with the polishing cloth or with baking powder.
No. Silver is a pure precious metal, while white gold is an alloy of gold with other metals. Silver has a cooler, softer shine and needs a bit more care, but it stays authentic.
A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER.
Maybe you recognize this. You are looking for a piece of jewelry, but everything feels overdone. Too loud. Too ordinary. I wanted something I could wear every day. Without noise. With precision. With character.
That is where PALM. began. Minimalist, but not tame. Simple, but never thoughtless. Every detail has a reason. Every shape an attitude.
