Silver jewelry is made of precious metals. To maintain its luster and beauty, maintenance during daily wearing and storage is particularly important. The following is the official silver jewelry maintenance guide recommended by MEYINSOR .
01 Why does silver jewelry oxidize?
Pure silver will naturally oxidize and turn yellow or black after reacting with sulfur in the air. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the material itself. Proper cleaning can restore its luster.
Little knowledge: The oxidation of silver is a normal chemical reaction and not a quality defect. Each piece of silver jewelry will develop a unique luster change over time.
02 Daily wearing suggestions
Correct wearing is the first step in the maintenance of silver jewelry. Following the suggestions below can extend the service life of silver jewelry
- Avoid strenuous exercise or scenarios where the silver chain might be pulled
- Avoid direct contact with chemicals such as perfume, alcohol and cosmetics
- Please be sure to remove your silver jewelry before taking a bath, swimming or soaking in a hot spring
Important Notice: Chlorine (swimming pool disinfectant) and sulfur (hot spring) can accelerate the oxidation of silver jewelry. Be sure to avoid contact with them.
03 How to clean silver jewelry
Select an appropriate cleaning method based on the degree of oxidation to avoid damaging the surface of the silver jewelry
Slight oxidation
The luster can be restored by gently wiping with a silver polishing cloth
Moderate oxidation
Use professional silver polish or silver jewelry cleaner
Complex patterns
For carved or complex-patterned styles: It is recommended to use a soft-bristled brush to assist in cleaning
Avoid using toothpaste and other exfoliating products to prevent scratches
04 The correct way to store silver jewelry
Proper storage can significantly extend the maintenance cycle of silver jewelry
- When not worn for a long time, it is recommended to store it in a sealed bag or an anti-oxidation bag
- Keep the environment dry to avoid excessive moisture which may accelerate oxidation
- Avoid colliding silver jewelry with each other to prevent scratches
Professional advice: Placing a small packet of desiccant in a sealed bag can effectively slow down the oxidation rate of silver jewelry.
05 Maintenance instructions for special styles
Silver jewelry with special craftsmanship requires special care methods:
- For gold-plated or platinum-plated surfaces: Avoid using a silver polishing cloth to prevent the electroplating layer from being worn
- Pearl or gemstone inlaid type: Avoid soaking in cleaning agents. Only wipe with a soft cloth
Special note: For silver jewelry set with gemstones, it is recommended to check the firmness of the setting every 6 to 12 months.
