Pure silver simply changes color, this is common sense that everyone on earth knows. However, the custom pricing of sterling silver jewelry did not make them lose their charm due to simple color changes. From ancient times to the present, sterling silver jewelry are precious things that are pure and noble, ward off evil spirits, pray for blessings, and care for health. Even in some cases, it adds an extraordinary temperament due to its discoloration. After thousands of years of getting along, mankind has summed up a lot of daily maintenance techniques to prevent sterling silver from discoloration and effective methods to renew the discolored sterling silver jewelry. Here are the methods and techniques summarized by known humans. First, take a look at the aspects of daily maintenance of sterling silver that need attention. In the previous article, we mentioned that the “culprit” that makes sterling silver discolor is ubiquitous sulfur and sulfide. Therefore, the maintenance of sterling silver must revolve around how to avoid contact with this 'great culprit' as a starting point. Keep away from sulfur and sulfide, care for pure silver. If you cannot escape, find a way to isolate. 1. Sulfur or sulfide exists in the air. As accessories worn on the body, it is unrealistic to block the air. But the charm of silver jewelry will not be affected by the presence of substances in the air that make it change color. Wearing silver jewelry has always been not only fashionable, but also faith, prayer and care for health. Therefore, if you wear it, please try to wear it at all times, except in some special circumstances, don't take it off often. The more you wear it, the more fresh it is. Because the body oil will be wrapped around the silver jewelry, a warm luster will appear, which can also play a role in blocking the air. In addition, the silver jewelry is in an active state on the body, and the slight friction makes the slow-forming pigment may have fallen off during the process, and it may not be attached to the silver jewelry surface. However, if it is placed or stored, it should be stored in a closed container and not in contact with air. 2. Many bath products such as sulfur soaps have high concentrations of sulfur or sulfides. Try not to wear them in such an environment. Humidity and high temperature will also speed up the chemical reaction. Just think about it. 3. Hot springs and sea water can quickly change the color of pure silver. If you are close to these places, please try not to wear it. It is a good choice to take it off and put it in a self-sealing plastic bag. 4. People with particularly developed sweat glands are not suitable to wear sterling silver jewelry, because there may be traces of sulfur or sulfide in sweat. If you really like it, please test and decide whether to wear it and which accessories to wear. 5. Please stick to the dryness of silver jewelry. When not in use, use cotton and cotton balls to absorb the water on the surface and store it in a dry and airtight container. Try to avoid contact with air. 6. Another important point is that silver jewelry worn on your body should not be touched often, and it is not suitable to play with it. Frequent touching will erase the protective grease on the outside, and the consequences can be imagined. Next, talk about how to deal with discolored sterling silver jewelry and even careful care may not be 100% to prevent sterling silver from discoloring, so how to make the discolored silver jewelry look new and return to its original luster? In fact, some methods are really useful, let me listen to them one by one. 1. General stains and slight discoloration can be quietly scrubbed with a silver wiping cloth, then lightly brush the slits with a small jewelry brush or soft toothbrush, or scrub with toothpaste and a small amount of water. Silver jewelry that is not severely discolored can be recovered as new. 2. If the part has turned black, you can use the silver test cream to drop a little on a cotton ball or high-quality tissue, and then gently scrub it to remove the black stains. 3. White vinegar is also a material to remove the pigment on the appearance of silver jewelry. You can use a cotton towel dipped in white vinegar to scrub the surface of the silver jewelry until it is recovered. 4. Coke and overnight tea can also be used to clean silver jewelry. Soak the discolored silver ornaments in the implant solution for about 10 hours to take effect. 5. It is not recommended to use silver washing water. Although silver washing water may be successful, it will damage the surface structure of pure silver and make the washed silver quickly change color. In addition to the above methods, there is a more extreme method for dealing with discolored sterling silver jewelry. You can try the above methods when none of the above methods are effective. First, the silver jewelry was overfired, damaging its molecular structure. Use a general gas lighter for this. Be careful not to burn only one place, you must overfire the entire silver jewelry. After cooling, put it in alum water (1 part of alum plus 10 parts of clear water) and boil, be sure to boil. Then use a soft toothbrush dipped in toothpaste in cold water and brush gently until smooth. Then dry it with a hair dryer, and then wipe it with a silver wiping cloth to the pure silver nature.
