How to clean colored silver jewelry

As people's living standards continue to improve, the jewelry industry continues to rise, and many people can afford it. However, after people buy jewelry, the problem that bothers them is the cleaning of the jewelry. So how to clean colored silver jewelry? First, you can take the jewelry back to the seller and ask the seller to clean it for you. What other methods are there? Let’s take a look at it together.

The first method: Use a professional silver-polishing cloth to wipe the surface of silver jewelry (except for platinum-plated ones).

The second method: use professional silver cleaning water, you can use the immersion method (except for the aging process) or the wiping method (except for the platinum plating process and the inlay process), put the silver jewelry into the silver cleaning water for about three seconds (if the oxidation is particularly serious, you can put it for a longer time), take it out and rub it repeatedly, rinse it with plenty of clean water, put it in alkaline water (such as soapy water) and rub it; finally, rinse it with clean water.

The third method: Use toothpaste (try to choose green transparent gel-like toothpaste, which has fine particles and avoids scratching the surface of silver jewelry). Apply the toothpaste directly on the silver jewelry and wipe it. Then add a little water and rub it to make foam. If there are gaps, use a toothbrush to scrub them to avoid foam entering the gaps.

(Special note: If it is a stone-inlaid craft, avoid using water to clean it to prevent the stone from falling off. It is recommended to use a silver polishing cloth to clean it.)

In addition to the advantages of beautiful colors and affordable prices, it is important to note that silver jewelry will turn black in parts after being worn for a long time. This is because silver reacts with sulfur in the air to form black silver sulfide, which affects the appearance. If it has oxidized and turned black, you can soak it in silver cleaning water or wipe it with a silver cleaning cloth. You can also use a soft-bristled brush dipped in toothpaste to scrub it, and then wipe it dry with cotton cloth after washing. The most practical method is to scrub with toothpaste, but be sure to wipe it dry.
