Cleaning silver jewelry
We all want our favorite jewelry to complement our looks longer and longer. This is quite easy to do if you take proper care of it. Today we will consider how to properly clean silver items.
⠀
Rhodium-plated silver jewelry only needs to be polished from time to time.
⠀
It is a little more difficult to care for items made of ordinary silver.
Cleaning with a brush can leave scratches on the metal, so it is only suitable for jewelry made of 925 assay value.
⠀
It is best to buy a special liquid for cleaning jewelry in a jewelry store, but if this is not possible, you can try to do without it:
⠀
Rinse the jewelry in soapy water and wipe with a microfiber or flannel cloth. If the blackness remains, try soaking the product in vinegar for 1-2 hours and wipe with a cloth. There is also a rarer method, for it you need to take aluminum foil, moisten it with water and apply it to the jewelry for a minute. This way the sulfur will evaporate, which can be understood by the smell of hydrogen sulfide, and the jewelry will get rid of the blackness.
⠀
It is very important not to forget that the choice of silver cleaning method does not harm the insert in this jewelry.
⠀
And let the jewelry please you longer.
