Many friends like sterling silver ornaments, but they don't know how to maintain them. In fact, we only need to spend some time in our daily life to make silver ornaments last as long as new.
1, the best way to maintain silver jewelry is to wear it every day, because human oil can produce a natural and moist luster.
2. Don't wear other precious metal jewelry when wearing silver jewelry to avoid collision, deformation or wear.
Keep the silver ornaments dry, don't wear them to swim, and don't go near hot springs and seawater. When not in use, you can gently wipe the surface with cotton cloth or paper towel to remove moisture and dirt, and put it in a sealed bag or box to avoid contact with air.
If the silver ornaments show signs of yellowing, the easiest way is to gently wash the surface with toothpaste and some water. Or use a small jewelry brush to clean up the fine seams of the silver ornaments, and then gently wipe the surface with a silver cloth, and the original aesthetic feeling of the ornaments can be restored immediately. (If the silver cloth can restore about 80% to 90% of silver, don't use silver lotion and silver washing water, because they are corrosive to some extent, and silver ornaments are more likely to turn yellow after using these products. In addition, silver cloth contains silver maintenance ingredients and cannot be washed with water)

Common surface treatment methods of silver jewelry
The easy oxidation of silver is its weakness, and it is also a headache for consumers and producers. At present, the common silver surface treatment methods in the domestic market are further oxidation, electroplating and untreated.
Whether it is further oxidized or untreated, the characteristics of silver oxidation blackening are fully utilized. Using oxidants to deepen the oxidation of the silver surface, or using the natural oxidation of the silver surface to produce richer colors and mechanism effects in silver jewelry, so that the defects are not concealed, is a method of exerting strength.
The real way to prevent the surface oxidation of silver jewelry is electroplating. At present, the commonly used methods are silver plating, rhodium plating, palladium plating and so on.
The silver jewelry produced by European goldsmiths mainly adopts deep oxidation treatment and sandblasting electroplating treatment.

Common knowledge of silver jewelry maintenance
Many people like silver ornaments, but they don't know how to maintain them. They even think that silver ornaments are difficult to maintain, which is not the case. The chemical properties of silver are not as stable as platinum and gold, and it is often oxidized to black or yellow by water or other chemicals in the air, losing its luster. After understanding this feature, we only need to spend a little thought in our daily life to make the silver ornaments we wear last as long as new.
When wearing silver jewelry, don't wear other precious metal jewelry at the same time to avoid collision, deformation or wear. Keep the silver ornaments dry, don't swim in them, and don't go near hot springs and seawater.
After each wear, you can gently wipe the surface with cotton cloth or paper towel to remove moisture and dirt, and then put it in a sealed bag to avoid contact with air.
The best way to maintain silver jewelry is to wear it every day, because human oil can produce a natural and moist luster.

If you find that the silver ornaments are yellow, you should first clean up the thin seams of the silver ornaments with a small jewelry brush, and then gently wipe the surface with a silver cloth to restore the original silvery white and brightness.
I suggest that if the silver cloth can recover about 80% silver, there is no need to use silver lotion and silver washing water, 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 you don't handle and collect the silver jewelry after wearing it, it is very likely that the silver jewelry will turn black. At this time, you should use a small jewelry brush to clean the fine seams of jewelry, then drop a drop of silver emulsion on the paper towel to wipe off the black oxide on the surface of jewelry, and then use a silver cloth to restore the original brightness of jewelry. After that, you should remember to do the daily general maintenance to prevent the silver ornaments from turning black again. Silver ornaments are difficult to rub white after many blackening.
These are some basic considerations. Here is a detailed introduction to the maintenance methods of electroplated and unplated silver ornaments:
First of all, it is necessary to distinguish whether there is electroplating (silver ornaments are generally divided into electroplating and non-electroplating):
There are electroplated silver ornaments, that is, the inner layer is pure silver, and the surface is being treated with current; Electroplating is generally divided into electrogold and platinum; The way to identify electroplating is that its surface is brighter than pure silver, like a mirror, with good reflective effect and less oxidation (depending on electroplating thickness, oxidation time ... >); & gt

Electroless silver ornaments are easy to lose their luster due to vulcanization (sulfur dioxide in the air reacts with silver to form a layer of silver sulfide on the silver ornaments, just like apples will slowly turn black after being cut).
The simple treatment of electroplating silver ornaments is as follows:
1. Go to the nearby Chinese medicine shop or drugstore to buy a pack of alum first;
2. Boil the silver jewelry you are wearing with 10:: alum 1 water (water must be boiled);
3. Take out the silver ornaments and put them in cold water. Use a soft brush (such as a toothbrush) dipped in toothpaste or laundry detergent or salad for cleaning.

The types of electroplated silver ornaments that can be processed above are:
A. Necklace (thick or thin)
B. pendants
C. rings (with or without gems)
D. Bracelets, bracelets (both thick and thin)
E. silver ornaments are inlaid with plastic or something.

1. Bake silver ornaments with fire (lighter is enough) to destroy their surface structure. The baking time depends on the size and thickness of the silver jewelry.
2. After cooling, put it in alum water and boil it ... >>
Question 8: What can be used to polish silver ornaments? 1. Wipe it clean and put it away.
If you don't wear silver ornaments for a long time, some silver ornaments will have copper rust on their surfaces. This is because they contain a little copper. You must wipe it clean with a silver cloth to prevent sweat stains from leaving on the jewelry, and then put it in a closed sealed bag or packaging box to isolate the air and prevent the silver jewelry from yellowing and blackening.
If you wear it close to your body on weekdays, the oiliness of your body will also have the effect of using silver oil to maintain it, and it will have a warm and natural luster.
Step 2 restore bright colors
Silver ornaments will turn black due to air oxidation, contact with hot springs or strong acid solutions. Under the long-term wear and tear, the silver ornaments containing K gold will still be slowly exposed to the air. You can use a silver cloth to wipe the shiny, carved or irregular surface of silver jewelry, and you can gently brush it with a soft toothbrush with a little tooth powder or baking soda powder, which is natural and cheap. After brushing, let the foam adhere to the silver jewelry for about one minute, then rinse it with clear water and dry it with a soft cloth. You will find that your beloved silver jewelry has regained its bright color.
3. Don't use silver washing water
Try not to wash silver ornaments with silver washing water, because it will corrode the surface of pure silver. Although the brightness will be restored soon, it will turn yellow and black soon. 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 cloth.
Question 9: How to clean silver ornaments to make them cleaner and brighter? 1.

Prevent discoloration and deterioration caused by long-term exposure to sulfur and its compounds. 4. Avoid contact with water vapor and chemicals, and don't swim in clothes, especially in the sea. 5. When taking a bath or washing clothes, you should remove the silver ornaments to prevent alkaline products. 6, sports, manual labor, should try to avoid wearing jewelry, otherwise it is easy to cause jewelry impact deformation or fracture fall off. 7, avoid and hair gel, perfume, skin care products together, because it will lead to reduced luster. 8. Wipe the surface gently with cotton cloth or paper towel after each wear to remove moisture and dirt, and then store it in a sealed bag to avoid contact with air. 9. Because some silver ornaments are mixed with some amphibole and glitter, we should also pay attention to cleaning after each use. It is not enough to wash the glitter or amphibole with water only, because most of these products are made of waterproof and sweat-proof materials. Therefore, if you want to thoroughly clean up the traces left by flash powder and flash stone, you must choose the right method. When removing glitter, it is very simple to remove glitter from your body. Just apply the cleanser to the area with sequins, gently circle it, and then gently wipe it off with a paper towel. When removing crystal amphibole, first apply a layer of skin care liquid to the skin, and then remove crystal stone with eyebrow pliers, so as not to sting the skin. After cleaning, apply skin care lotion to moisturize the skin. Crystal amphibole should not be reused, and those mixed silver ornaments should be used to remove the oxide on the surface with high-efficiency silver cloth and smooth the traces on the surface of silver ornaments before use.

D, including exquisite, three-dimensional silver ornaments made into sculptures to avoid deliberate polishing. E. If the silver ornaments show signs of yellowing, first clean up the thin seams of the silver ornaments with a small jewelry brush, and then gently wipe the surface with a silver cloth to restore the original silvery white and brightness of the silver ornaments. I suggest that if the silver cloth can recover about 80% silver, there is no need to use silver lotion and silver washing water, 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. F, if the silver ornaments are not treated and collected after wearing, it is very likely that the silver ornaments will turn black.
