Why do silver bracelets turn yellow when worn for a long time?
Why does the silver bracelet turn yellow? The silver bracelet turned yellow because the silver was oxidized, so it turned yellow. Silver ornaments are very easily oxidized. Under the chemical action, the oxidation reaction of pure silver bracelet will make it yellow or black. However, these are actually on the surface of the sterling silver bracelet, and the inside of the sterling silver bracelet is still the same as before, without much oxidation reaction. Therefore, in daily life, try to reduce the contact between pure silver bracelets and water and keep the environment dry.

As for the yellow silver bracelet, you can take it to the jewelry store to wash the yellow part of the sterling silver bracelet with silver washing water, but this will lose the quality of the sterling silver bracelet and try to avoid using it. You can also simply clean the yellow part of the sterling silver bracelet with toothpaste or detergent and other household items containing acid and alkali. Wash it carefully and not too fast.

The reason why silver bracelets turn yellow is that silver ornaments will turn yellow and black when worn for a long time. This is because silver reacts with sulfur in the air to produce other colors of silver sulfide, which greatly affects the beauty of silver jewelry. If it has been oxidized and discolored, it can be dipped in silver washing water or wiped with a silver cloth. You can also scrub with a soft brush dipped in toothpaste and dry it with cotton cloth after washing.

I would like to remind you not to use silver washing water to clean sterling silver ornaments, because it will corrode the surface of sterling silver, and although it will soon regain its brightness, it will soon turn yellow and black. And every time the silver washing water is used, it will corrode the silver ornaments again. For beloved silver ornaments, pay attention to the use of silver wipes.

How to avoid the silver bracelet from turning yellow?

1, clean it and put it away.

If you don't wear sterling silver jewelry for a long time, you must wipe it clean with a soft cloth to avoid leaving sweat stains on the jewelry and causing corrosion, and then put it in a sealed bag or packaging box to isolate the air and prevent the silver jewelry from turning yellow and black.

Don't touch these things

Never wear sterling silver jewelry when soaking in hot springs or playing with water at the seaside to avoid contact with chemical solutions, otherwise chemical reactions will occur, which will turn your sterling silver jewelry black and yellow.

3. Restore bright colors

You can wipe the glossy surface, carved surface or irregular surface of silver ornaments with silver cloth. You can gently brush it with a soft toothbrush dipped in toothpaste. After brushing, let the foam adhere to the silver jewelry for about one minute, and then rinse it with clear water. After drying with a soft cloth, you will find that your beloved silver jewelry has regained its bright color.
