I. Introduction of Platinum:
Platinum (Pt) is a natural white precious metal. As early as 700 BC, platinum has been shining brilliantly in the history of human civilization. In the 2000-year history of human use of platinum, it has always been considered as one of the most precious metals.
In mineral classification, platinum group minerals belong to natural platinum subgroup, including natural elemental minerals such as iridium, rhodium, palladium and platinum. Platinum group minerals are all equiaxed, with few single crystals and occasionally cubic or octahedral fine crystals.
Second, the daily cleaning method of platinum necklace:
1, jewelry liquid cleaner cleaning
These jewelry liquid cleaners are generally convenient to use, and a small bottle will be given away, so you can clean platinum necklaces carefully. Some of the most popular brands are ammonia-free, so you can search for details online. Many brands are also equipped with soft brushes, which can be carefully brushed after soaking. According to the instructions on the package, make sure to dry it with a lint-free soft cloth.
2, clean foam and clean cloth
Cleaning foam can be applied to some platinum jewelry set with precious stones. After spraying foam and waiting for a period of time, thoroughly clean it with a soft brush, rinse it with clear water and dry it. Cleaning wipes are suitable for quick cleaning in travel or business situations. Although it is quick and convenient, it can only clean the dirt on the surface of jewelry, which is not suitable for deep cleaning.
3. Ultrasonic cleaning machine
If you study hard, you will find that the ultrasonic cleaning machine is not so difficult to use. Put the platinum jewelry into the ultrasonic sink and clean it according to the product instructions. After cleaning, dry the jewelry with a soft lint-free cloth.
4, small steam cleaning
Professionals use steam cleaning as a method to quickly and effectively remove the residue accumulated on exquisite platinum jewelry. Although it is widely used in jewelry stores, small steam cleaners can now be purchased online for home use. Before wearing, make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and dry them thoroughly.
5, homemade jewelry cleaner
Elders or friends in the home of an able person have told you to clean high-grade jewelry like brushing your teeth with toothpaste, but let's introduce the simplest cleaning method. Mix a few drops of simple detergent with clean water, which can remove dirt and debris from the gap of jewelry better than clean water. Soak for about five minutes, gently brush with a soft brush, and then gently dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
6. soak platinum jewelry in warm soapy water
Wipe gently with a soft toothbrush or towel, paying special attention to the details or delicate places of jewelry. The ring should be cleaned from the inside. The necklace shakes back and forth in the solution and can only be cleaned one at a time. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Step 7 Wash with toothpaste
You can squeeze toothpaste on the towel, then rub it back and forth on the platinum diamond ring for about 10 minutes, take out the toothpaste, wash it with warm water, grind off fine lines and dirt on the surface, wash it with diluted cleaning solution, and then rinse it with clear water to restore its original luster. Toothpaste contains fine abrasive particles. It's clean to brush your teeth, but brushing precious stones will hurt your teeth. Because the hardness of these lines is as high as 6 or 7, comparable to crystal, gems (such as pearls and gold) with lower hardness than crystal can't be held at all! So if it is platinum inlaid with precious stones, be careful not to let the toothpaste get on the precious stones)
8. You can buy a pack of developing powder from the photographic equipment store.
Put a small amount into a clean glassware, add water and stir evenly, then soak the platinum jewelry in it for 5~ 10 minutes, then take it out, rinse it with water and wipe it with a dry cloth, and the beloved platinum jewelry will be as bright as new.
9. Clever use of baby's "talcum powder"
If your platinum jewelry is not too dirty, just a little less shiny, then you can wipe your whole body with baby's talcum powder, and then rinse it with water to restore its luster.
Three. Daily maintenance of platinum necklace:
1. The jeweler suggests that you store platinum jewelry separately in a jewelry box or suede to prevent other jewelry from being scratched.
2. Put the precious ornaments in a safe place and buy enough insurance.
3. Clean platinum ornaments regularly. This can ensure that jewelry presents the best luster and lasts longer.
All precious metals may leave scratches, and platinum is no exception. If there are scratches visible to the naked eye, please take the platinum jewelry to a qualified jeweler for polishing. However, scratches on platinum will only move the substance, and the volume will not decrease.
5. Please don't wear platinum jewelry when doing housework cleaning, gardening and other types of heavy work or physical activities.
6. When wearing platinum jewelry, please don't touch bleaching or irritating chemicals. Although chemicals will not damage platinum, they may discolor diamonds or precious stones.
7. For platinum ornaments inlaid with precious stones, jewelers suggest that you clean them once every six months.
8. Platinum jewelry is inlaid with diamonds. I suggest you send it to the jewelry store for inspection every year, and carry out professional cleaning and renovation in time to make platinum and diamond jewelry often worn.
