Silver Jewelry:
Silver will naturally tarnish over time, and this effect can enhance well-crafted pieces with a patina. However, if you wish to slow down the rapid tarnishing of your jewelry’s surface, you can occasionally clean it using:
There are several household methods you can research online, but it is advisable to take them to a specialist in jewelry maintenance or purchase a specialized jewelry polishing solution to polish them and remove any tarnish to make them look new.
Certain conditions can interact with the surface of your silver jewelry and cause it to tarnish more quickly:
- Chemicals found in swimming pools.
- Saltwater.
- Humidity and moisture conditions, such as leaving them in bathrooms for extended periods.
- Some skincare and hair products.
- Perfumes.
Gold Jewelry:
Gold does not chemically react with much, so it does not tarnish in the same way that silver does. This is part of why it is considered a good metal for long-term jewelry wear, such as wedding rings. However, dirt can still dull the surface and become trapped in any decorative pieces.
To keep your gold jewelry looking bright, I recommend the following:
- Regularly clean it with an old, soft toothbrush and warm water with a mild detergent or a mixture of baking soda and water.
- Use polishing clothes when necessary.
- Exercise caution when cleaning jewelry with gemstones and pearls.
