Silver Polishing in Qatar: Removing Tarnish from Jewellery, Khanjars and Silverware
Silver jewellery, traditional khanjars, incense burners, coffee pots and family silverware are treasured in many Qatari homes. In Qatar's humid late summer, silver tarnishes quickly.
Why silver tarnishes
Silver reacts with sulphur compounds in the air, forming a dark layer. Humidity, perfume, oud smoke and rubber all speed it up.
Home care
Wipe with a silver cloth after wearing. Avoid toothpaste and abrasive pastes, which scratch and wear down engraving.
Professional polishing
Renova's silver polishing removes tarnish and restores a high shine while preserving engraved and filigree detail. It takes about three days.
Storage
Anti-tarnish pouches or cloths, a sachet of silica gel, and a closed box in an air-conditioned room.
Everything You Need to Know
Can heavily blackened silver be restored?
Yes. Even heavy tarnish can usually be removed professionally.

Yes, with careful hand polishing.
How long does it take?
About three days.
