1, silver jewelry should be cleaned before it is put away, and it is best to pack it in a closed bag to prevent oxidation and blackening. If the wearer sweats a lot, he can wipe the surface with a soft cloth every day to keep the luster and remove dirt. It is best to use special silver rubbing cloth for silver ornaments plated with platinum. Silver rubbing cloth can be purchased in silver jewelry brand stores. Note: Silver cloth contains maintenance ingredients and cannot be washed.

2. Daily cleaning of silver ornaments without platinum plating can be done by yourself, such as squeezing some toothpaste, adding some water, wiping with a soft cloth, brushing gaps with a soft toothbrush, and then rinsing with clear water. Don't touch the water on the silver ornaments inlaid with precious stones, so as not to affect the firmness of the glue. It is best to be cleaned by professionals in the store. )

There are many kinds of silver ornaments and different maintenance methods, so we can't generalize them. Many online maintenance methods can only be used as reference. It is best to ask the professionals in the store to avoid improper operation and damage to the beloved silver jewelry.

4, including the exquisite three-dimensional carving of silver ornaments, to avoid deliberate polishing. 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.

5. If the silver ornaments are not treated and collected after wearing, it is very likely that the silver ornaments 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. It is difficult to rub the silver ornaments white after many times of blackening.

Ways to keep luster:

If the silver jewelry turns black, don't rush to wash it with silver water, because silver water is a chemical agent and has a certain corrosive effect on the jewelry. Silver cloth is your first choice. There are many small remedies, such as soaking silver jewelry in coke for the night, or brushing it with a soft brush dipped in toothpaste ... but remember to dry the water with cotton cloth after washing.

Silver ornament effect

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records: "Silver scraps are pungent, flat and toxic; Raw silver is pungent, cold and non-toxic. " Because? [1] Because silver ions are easy to combine with sulfhydryl groups in protein, bacteria will die due to inactivation of respiratory enzymes. However, elemental silver is quite stable and it is difficult to "release" silver ions. Moreover, protein is also an important part of the human body. It not only has economic value and elegant appearance, but also can be used as a drug detection tool.

Using silver can detect whether food is toxic (this is because silver can easily react with arsenic (As2O3) commonly used in ancient times to generate black arsenic sulfide, but this does not mean that silver can absorb the so-called "toxin"), which is easy for the naked eye to identify. Before BC, the ancients knew that silver could accelerate wound healing, prevent infection, purify water and keep fresh.

It can stop the growth of bacteria, but its other functions cannot be verified. The saying that "jade can prevent corrosion" is just a false conclusion that the ancients did too little research on natural science. Silver ions have excellent bactericidal effect. Ordinary antibiotics can only act on 6 kinds of bacteria on average, while silver ions can destroy 650 kinds of bacteria. However, silver ion belongs to heavy metal ion, and the water disinfected with silver salt is definitely not suitable for drinking.

"The thermal conductivity of silver is the most prominent among all metals, and it can quickly dissipate the heat of blood vessels. Assuming that the thermal conductivity of silver is 65,438+000, that of gold is 53.2, that of iron is 65,438+065,438+0.6, and that of platinum is 8.2, this distinct thermal conductivity can rapidly reduce the heat of blood vessels, which has excellent curative effect in preventing various diseases.

Silver has the function of absorbing toxicity, which is one of the reasons for its discoloration, so it has excellent disinfection performance. This discoloration is only a superficial reaction and can be eliminated with toothpaste or medicine. It can be seen that the importance of silver to health cannot be ignored. This is a common gimmick for health websites to promote silver jewelry.

In fact, most of the heat generated by breathing is excreted through sweat and will not come out of the silver ornaments, because the thermal conductivity of air is not good, and the heat carried by sweat and silver ornaments will eventually be discharged into the air. As for the "bactericidal" effect of silver, it is described above.
