Silver jewelry is a favorite accessory of all women. But if we do not take care of them properly, they can show dull spots or discoloration, in the long run. Silver reacts with its environment and the various chemicals it comes in contact with and this is normal. It does not always mean that the silver is not of good quality. To be sure that your silver jewelry will always look new, let learn some ways to care for them.
Wear them
The oiliness of our skin helps our silver jewelry to retain its shine.
Avoid corrosion
Keep them away from household chemicals, perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, sunscreens, etc. Avoid wearing them when doing chores at home, but also when going for a swim in the sea and pool. Wear the latter when you are about to go out, so that they do not come into contact with cosmetic products.
How to clean them
- Baking soda and water.
Mix water with baking soda and apply a small amount on a clean cloth to clean the silver.
- Baking soda and white vinegar
Soak the dull gem in a solution of half a cup of white vinegar and two tablespoons of baking soda for 2-3 hours.
- Special cleaning cloth.
You can try the special cleaning cloths for silver.
- Professional cleaning.
If the above does not work or you do not have the time to clean them, you can always trust a professional.
Buy your silver jewelry from a reputable store and take care of the right ones, so that they will accompany you forever!
