Why does silver jewelry tarnish?
* The skin's reaction to contact with silver jewelry.
* Cleaning products, chlorine, contact with hairspray and perfume, spa and exposure to high humidity such as the bathroom.
* When you are not wearing your jewelry, to protect it from oxidation, use a small airtight plastic bag such as a "ziploc". Because the oxygen in the air also promotes the oxidation of sterling silver.
How to clean your sterling silver jewelry ?
1. The method for delicate jewelry with pearls and fine stones.
You can use the small cleaning cloth that I gave you when you purchased it on jewelry with or without black patina. Or, mix warm water with dishwashing liquid (which does not contain ammonia or phosphate). Dip a soft cloth in the soapy water and clean the silver jewelry. After that, you must rinse the jewelry with plain water and then dry it and polish it with a clean cloth.
2. The electrolyte method for jewelry without stone and pearl except cz.
YOU NEED:
About 1 tablespoon of baking soda;
More or less 1 tablespoon of salt;
A little dishwashing liquid without bleach;
Boiling water;
An aluminum plate or baking dish that you will line with aluminum foil.
PREPARATION
The shiny side of the paper should be facing up. Place the jewelry in the center of the dish and sprinkle it with baking soda, salt, and dishwashing liquid, then pour boiling water into the dish. Stir the solution to dissolve the baking soda and salt. For the desired reaction to take place, you should let the solution act for 5 to 10 minutes. In the meantime, you can gently rub the jewelry with your fingers and move it around in the solution. Remove the jewelry and rinse it with warm water. You should then gently wipe it with a soft, non-abrasive cloth.
In conclusion, the best trick to keep your silver jewelry shiny is to wear it! The friction that is exerted on it while wearing it prevents the surface from blackening.
