How to Protect Your Silver jewelry

Every girl may have one silver jewelry. It may be jewelry chains from their family or friends, or maybe it is a pendant necklace bought by themselves. Either way, it can mean a lot. Thus the protection of it is worth attention.


After wearing your necklace for some times, you may find some parts are turning dark while some part are not that shiny any more. This is because the exposure may lead to the oxidization or other damage to the surface. This tarnish is a result of a chemical reaction that occurs when silver comes into contact with air and various substances. This can be regarded as corrosion that will not damage the metal.


To be honest, there is no way to protect your silver jewelry from turning black because silver reacts with so many materials found in everyday life such as some food, perfume, water, and some spray. But if you want to remove it, it is easy. You can put the silver piece in some light salt water or soda water. Usually within around 5 minutes, the tarnish will disappear and you can get the jewelry out. And there are other ways like using silver polishing cloth to clean it(they are easy to find) or taking it to a jewelry store and let the professionals help.


Except these ways of removing the tarnish afterwards, there are also things we need to know as preventive actions. For example, keep the jewelry away from those items that will affect it like perfume, latex, unpurified water and lotions. And if you are not going to wear it in a long time, it is better to put it individually in an air-tight silica gel bag with anti-tarnish properties. In this way, the speed of oxidization can be largely slow down, but you will still need to clean it at some point.



And that’s what we are going to share today. If you have more tips about protecting silver jewelries, welcome to let us know.
