What should I do if my silver earrings turn black

Many people will find that their silver earrings will turn black after wearing for a period of time. This is actually caused by oxidation. If they are not cleaned in time, it will have a certain impact on the ears themselves. Therefore, you must pay special attention to it. Try to choose some wet cloth to wipe the earrings themselves clean, so as not to cause any impact on your health.

Wearing silver earrings causes the ear holes to turn black because after the silver earrings are oxidized and turn black, the oxide remains next to the ear holes. All you need to do is clean the silver earrings. You can use the following method to clean them.

1. Use a silver polishing cloth. The silver polishing cloth is made of plant fiber as the base material and contains polishing powder and decontamination ingredients. Specially used for cleaning silver products, use this cloth to wipe the surface of silver earrings until it is shiny; this cloth can be used repeatedly but cannot be washed.

2. When using silver cleaning water, please pay attention to the following steps:

1. Do not put the silver earrings in the silver cleaning water for more than seven seconds.

2. Wash it with plenty of water immediately after picking it up.

3. Wipe it dry with a dry cloth or blow dry it with a hair dryer.

One possible reason why silver earrings may turn black is that they do not contain enough silver and are not pure silver jewelry. Another reason is that certain physical symptoms can also cause silver jewelry to turn black.

It is a normal natural phenomenon for silver jewelry to turn black, because the sulfur and oxides in the air and other natural media have a certain corrosive effect on silver. After wearing it for a period of time, some tiny spots (silver sulfide film) will appear, which will spread into pieces and even turn black over time. Therefore, some silver jewelry currently changes color due to oxidation.

To prevent silver earrings from turning black, you should mainly do the following:

① Do not wear other precious metal jewelry at the same time when wearing silver earrings to avoid collision, deformation or scratches.

②Avoid contact with water vapor and chemicals, and avoid swimming while wearing it, especially in the sea.

③After wearing it every day, wipe it clean with cotton cloth and seal it in a jewelry box or bag for storage.

④ If it has oxidized and turned black, you can scrub it with a soft-bristled brush dipped in toothpaste, or you can rub it with your hands using soap or detergent. Only use silver cleaning water to clean it if it cannot be cleaned cleanly. After washing, wipe it dry with cotton cloth.
