HOW TO CARE FOR AND CLEAN YOUR SILVER JEWELRY

We know that when you fall in love with a piece of jewelry, you never take it off ;) If you do what we do when you fall in love with a piece of jewelry, be careful, it may lose its luster or become dark!

How to clean your silver jewelry and protect it from oxidation?

The reason for the darkening of jewelry is oxidation, which is generated as a result of the contact of the jewelry with acids. When your jewelry rubs against other bracelets or hair ties, some corrosion occurs, although without going any further, medications also alter the pH of our skin and this can cause silver jewelry to lose its luster. It seems incredible, right?

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR JEWELRY

We often complain that pendants get scratched, that untangling chains is frustrating or that jewelry gets dirty quickly... Pay attention because most of the time, it is due to poor organization of our jewelry box .

If you want your jewelry to last for many years, you just have to get used to storing it correctly. Here are some tips for organizing your jewelry:

  1. Closing chains: Closing chains, both necklaces and bracelets, will prevent knots from forming or getting tangled with other jewelry .
  2. Separate rings: Rings with stones or figures tend to get damaged when they are put together with other rings. The best way to keep them in perfect condition is to arrange them in a special ring box or in their Singularu box.
  3. Earrings with threads: Earring threads are like socks - one always comes loose! To avoid this, never leave earrings loose. Also, a thread that doesn't fit can cause your earring to fall off.
  4. Keep gold separate from the rest: Despite the purity and strength of gold, it tends to darken easily, so much so that even oxygen can make it lose its shine. Store your gold jewelry in cloth bags, wrapped in a cloth or in its original box.
  5. Away from humid places: Not only is it important where you keep your jewelry, but where you put the jewelry box is also important. Damp places significantly damage jewelry, so keep your jewelry in dry places without sudden changes in temperature, always avoid leaving it in the bathroom!
