What are the factors of oxidation of silver-plated jewelry? Sterling silver has been favored by young people in recent years, and the silver jewellery industry has shown a hot and popular phenomenon. The primary reason is that silver jewelry is fashionable and diversified in style and affordable and practical. Usually women who love beauty and fashion will have one or two favorite sterling silver jewelry. However, I am also troubled by the fact that pure silver products easily react with sulfur in the air, causing the phenomenon of black and yellow or even falling off. So, how should we maintain our beloved sterling silver jewelry? Generally, there are several factors for sterling silver jewelry to turn black and yellow: [1] The sterling silver jewelry you wear is not real silver, it may be silver-plated jewelry, or it may be a product with very little silver. After a long wearing time, the silver water on the surface of the sterling silver jewelry will fall off. Will cause black and yellow. [2] The sterling silver jewelry you wear is real silver, and turning black and yellow is a normal oxidation phenomenon. As silver reacts chemically with sulfur in the air for a long time, black silver sulfide is formed. Will cause sterling silver jewelry to gradually turn black and yellow. [3] The silver jewellery worn is related to human physique, and some of the human body has too much acid, or is it a disease. In addition, some women's cosmetics, perfumes and sweat will cause corrosion of the appearance of silver jewelry. It becomes what we call silver dirt or silver mold, which seriously affects the appearance of sterling silver jewelry.
