Maintenance method of 925 sterling silver jewelry! Real 925 sterling silver jewelry often turns black and yellow after wearing for a period of time. Why are sterling silver products easy to turn black and yellow? That's because sulfur and oxides in natural media such as air have a certain corrosive effect on silver. After wearing for a period of time, there will be some tiny spots (silver sulfide film), which will spread into sheets or even turn black over time. Even if a protective film is electroplated on the surface of jewelry, it will still be oxidized if it is not paid attention for a long time. Therefore, some silver ornaments are discolored by oxidation at present. However, if you pay attention to the following points, you can extend the bright period of your precious jewelry.

With the arrival of summer, more and more people wear silver ornaments, but for some reasons, there will be some problems in wearing silver ornaments, especially mechanical chains and pendants. Some customers have reported that there will be problems such as cracking and peeling of the surface coating of silver ornaments and blackening of silver ornaments, which has aroused some doubts. We will sort out some points for attention, hoping to help you sell.

Pure silver itself presents a very beautiful milky luster, but pure silver with high electroplating degree is easy to oxidize in the air, so in order to prevent this phenomenon, general factories will electroplate the surface of silver ornaments. The silver jewelry without electroplating looks very white and has no obvious reflection, but it is easy to turn yellow, black and discolor, while the silver jewelry with electroplating has metallic luster and is not easy to fade, but some problems will occur due to improper maintenance.

1. Never wear silver jewelry for bathing, beauty and hair dyeing. Soap and shampoo will make the silver chain react chemically, making the surface black, corroded and peeled off, which is different from ordinary natural oxidation. It can't be cleaned with silver cloth and silver water. If the platinum layer on the surface of electroplated silver jewelry fades, a dark black electroplating transition layer will appear.

2. Wipe the sweat and stains on the surface with a soft cotton cloth after wearing every day. If you sweat a lot, wash it every day. Some people's sweat is acidic and will react chemically with the coating.

3, usually try not to pull silver ornaments, because silver is a soft metal, easy to deform and break. Although the most common 925 silver is much stronger in hardness than 999 silver, it should also be taken care of and maintained by high-grade jewelry. In particular, machine-made chains (such as star chain and octagonal snake chain) are carefully made, so be careful when taking them down to avoid breaking them.

4, including 18k gold-plated and three-dimensional carved silver ornaments, to avoid deliberately wiping the luster and causing fading.

5. If the silver ornaments show signs of turning yellow and black, generally wipe the surface with a silver cloth to restore the original silvery white and brightness of the silver ornaments. If you can restore 80% silvery white by wiping cloth with silver, don't use silver to wipe milk and wash water with silver, because these products are corrosive to some extent, and silver ornaments are more likely to turn yellow after using these products. Silver wipes contain silver maintenance ingredients and cannot be washed. If it turns black seriously, you can use silver washing water to clean the silver ornaments, which can basically solve the problem.

6. Silver jewelry is allergic. Some people are allergic to wearing silver ornaments, and some people are allergic to wearing this kind of silver ornaments, because the components of electroplating on the surface of different silver ornaments are different. Generally, silver ornaments will be plated with nickel and rhodium (platinum), and people's skin is allergic to these metals, so there will be some allergic situations. If you are allergic, consider wearing pure silver (electroless plating) or Macarthur jewelry. Whether you are allergic or not is not the standard and condition to judge whether you are pure silver.
