Problem 1: Metal jewelry turns black.
Measures: Metal ornaments attract the hearts of fashionable consumers by virtue of their beautiful appearance without losing hardness and changeable colors. But many people spend a lot of money on jewelry, but they are reluctant to wear it. In fact, wearing it every day is the best way to maintain these metal jewelry, because the oil secreted by the human body can make the jewelry have a natural and moist luster.
But what should I do if the metal shows signs of turning yellow or black? At this time, it is necessary to clean the fine cracks in the metal with a small jewelry brush first, and then gently wipe the surface of the jewelry with a soft cloth. This kind of metal is as bright as new, just like "returning to its original shape". Be sure to avoid direct cleaning with a stiff brush or paper towel.
At the same time, it is suggested that you should take off your gold and silver jewelry when taking a bath, washing your hair, washing your face, washing your hands, making up or doing housework, so as to avoid soap, detergent and chemicals in bleached water polluting the surface of gold and silver jewelry, making it lose its luster and produce spots, and avoiding deformation, fracture and shedding, especially when sleeping and washing.
Question 2: Emerald loses its luster.
Measures: Jade has high toughness, but it is also easy to be broken or damaged. Usually, care should be taken not to let dirt penetrate into jade with sweat. Because the last process of jadeite processing is to seal Sichuan wax on its surface and then polish it, so that jadeite can look very shiny. Dirt often corrodes the wax on the surface of jade, thus destroying the brightness and luster of jade. If the color of jadeite is light, soaking in warm water for 30 minutes is the favorite beauty maintenance method of jadeite. Without adding any detergent, clear water will naturally penetrate into the delicate structure of jadeite. In the process of soaking, you can gently wipe it with a soft cloth. If it is a jeweler's jewelry, you can gently brush off the dirt on the surface with a soft brush, and it will reproduce the luster like lotus. Never use the ultrasonic oscillator for cleaning diamonds to clean jadeite. Ultrasonic vibration will loosen the jadeite structure.
Emerald is also afraid of high temperature. If it is baked at high temperature for a long time, the molecular volume inside jadeite will increase, which will make jadeite lose its moist water, and lead to the drying of seed material and lighter color. Therefore, when playing, cooking or sauna on the beach with strong sunshine, it is best to take off jade jewelry to prevent jade from being damaged.
In addition, perfume is a woman's favorite, but it is the enemy of jade jewelry. You need to pay attention again when using it. Don't spray directly on jade ornaments. Cumulative corrosion will affect the jadeite structure, resulting in loose texture and cracking. Therefore, it is necessary to keep in mind the order of wearing, spray perfume on makeup first, and then wear jewelry to avoid high-concentration cosmetics or perfume directly contacting the surface of jewelry.
Question 3: pearls turn yellow.
Measures: Pearl is an organic gem. If you stay in the sun for a long time, pearls will also get "wheat skin color", which is unsightly but destructive to pearls.
Some people say that jewelry is washed with toothpaste? No! Because toothpaste contains fine abrasive particles with high hardness, the hardness of these abrasive particles is as high as six or seven degrees (almost the same as crystal), so the result of cleaning with toothpaste will damage jewelry. The surface of precious stones, especially pearls, is not as hard as crystal and must be cleaned with toothpaste.
Some people say that it is king to keep sealed bags away from light? No! Pearls need fresh air, even if they are not worn often, they should be taken out every few months to breathe, otherwise white pearls will turn yellow easily. After wearing it, give it a "warm bath" to clean it. It is best to wipe it with sheepskin and put it in a dry and dark place. Never use tissue paper, because the rough surface of tissue paper will wear pearls.
Some substances we come into contact with in life or food contain different concentrations of acid or alkali, and these different concentrations of acid and alkali chemicals are fatal to pearls, so our cosmetics and perfumes should try to avoid being contaminated by jewelry. If you are afraid of forgetting to take off the jewelry on the sink because of washing your hands, a small jewelry box can be avoided. Don't bother, take a small jewelry box with you.
Question 4: Diamonds are polluted by dirt.
Measures: Diamonds are one of the most beautiful treasures in the world. Their bright colors have always fascinated countless people, but diamonds, like other things, can also be contaminated with dust. Therefore, only careful maintenance can make it bright and eternal. Diamonds are "oleophilic" and the skin is easily contaminated with grease and dirt. Even high-quality diamonds, once they come into contact with grease and dirt on their hands, their natural light will be covered up instantly.
Here is a brief introduction to the cleaning and maintenance methods of diamonds:
Pour a little detergent into the bowl, stir with warm water until it bubbles, then put the diamond into the bowl and rub it gently with a soft brush. After brushing, take it out and put it into a metal net or filter tea set, rinse it with warm water and dry it with a soft cloth. Dissolve the detergent in cold water at the ratio of 1 4, soak the diamond ring in the solution for a few minutes, then take it out and gently wipe it with a soft brush, then rinse it with the solution, and then dry it with a paper towel. But remember not to scratch the diamond-encrusted base.
