Gorham Sterling Baby/Childs Set

Yes, sterling silver will naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air. To keep it looking its best, hand wash the pieces with mild soap and dry them immediately with a soft cloth, and use a silver polish occasionally to remove any oxidation.

While these pieces are functional, they are primarily designed as heirloom keepsakes. If you choose to use them for meals, be mindful that silver is a softer metal than stainless steel and can scratch or dent more easily.

To minimize tarnishing and prevent scratching, store the set in a tarnish-resistant cloth bag or a lined silver chest. Avoid storing pieces in rubber bands or plastic wrap, as these materials can accelerate the tarnishing process.

It is strongly recommended to hand wash this set. Dishwasher detergents are often too abrasive and the high heat can damage the finish of sterling silver over time.

Gorham is a heritage brand known for its long history of craftsmanship and quality. Choosing their sterling silver ensures a durable, high-value item that can be passed down through generations as a meaningful family keepsake.
