First, jewelry is worn separately.
Because the hardness of different metal ornaments is different, when wearing silver ornaments, you should try to avoid wearing other metal ornaments to avoid collision deformation or friction marks when wearing them. Even if both pieces of jewelry are silver ornaments, they should not be worn at the same time. The hardness of 925 silver and 990 silver is also different. Wearing polished silver jewelry together with unpolished silver jewelry is easy to cause collision and friction between them, resulting in scratches on smooth jewelry.
Second, jewelry is stored separately.
The reason is the same as mentioned above, the hardness is different, so it is necessary to avoid putting multiple ornaments together and storing them separately in boxes after use. Silver can react with sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, etc., thus causing jewelry deterioration, so silver jewelry should try to avoid using such drugs.
Third, it should not be worn when bathing or soaking in hot springs.
Silver can react with sulfur to produce black sulfur dioxide, which is also the reason why silver will turn black after a long time. Bath lotion and soap for bathing may contain sulfur, because sulfur has the functions of softening keratin, diminishing inflammation and sterilizing. Like the sulfur soap we use in summer, it has obvious anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects and can also prevent mosquito bites. There are many trace elements in hot springs, and sulfur is indispensable in many hot springs.
Fourth, prevent silver ornaments from blackening.
Some people usually keep their jewelry away from sulfur, but after wearing it for a period of time, they find that their silver ornaments will still turn black. This is because these people's sweat contains trace amounts of sulfur. Therefore, after wearing the silver jewelry every day, wipe it clean with cotton cloth and put it in a jewelry box or bag for sealed preservation.
If you want to avoid the discoloration of the newly bought silver jewelry, you can apply a thin layer of transparent nail polish on its surface and then apply it again every ten days. If you want to remove nail polish, you can soak it in banana oil and then wash it with water. Applying a small amount of lipstick and lip balm to silver jewelry before wearing can also achieve the same preventive effect, which is also simpler and more convenient.
Fifth, the solution after the silver ornaments turn black.
In order to restore the brightness of the oxidized and discolored silver ornaments, the oxidized and blackened silver ornaments can be brushed with a soft brush dipped in toothpaste, or washed with soap or detergent. It won't wash off. If the surface is polished in primary colors, just wipe it with a silver cloth. If there are cracks in the unpolished surface, it can be cleaned with silver water.
Silver cloth and silver washing water are easy to buy.
