How to Take Care of Your Sterling Silver Jewelry
Sterling silver jewelry can be a great accessory regardless of what kind of jewelry you are looking for. There are some magnificent pieces of art from earrings to chains to necklaces. And perhaps the best part about sterling silver is that it is far cheaper than other kinds of jewelry. But how do you take care of it safely to maintain the quality when you buy it?
It can be tricky because as sterling silver jewelry becomes wet, it begins to tarnish. Regular silver tarnishes at a slow rate, but sterling silver has copper as well. The addition of the copper to the alloy causes the tarnishing at a much faster rate.
It is troubling because sterling silver consists of 92.5% silver and just 7.5% of copper. However, the minute 7.5% of copper is enough to cause tarnishing to your silver bracelets and hoop earrings. Copper oxidizes extremely easy when it is exposed to moisture, which is why it is essential that you keep your sterling silver jewelry as dry as possible.
With that said how do you go about cleaning your jewelry and avoid any kinds of tarnishing? There are a few things that you can do to reduce your chances of tarnishing. The only true way to completely avoid tarnish is to have the piece of jewelry plated with rhodium. More and more jewelry manufacturers are beginning to offer jewelry that is plated with rhodium.
Aside from this option, everything else will just reduce the amount of tarnishing and extend the length of your jewelry before it becomes tarnished. There have been a few new kinds of alloys of silver that tarnish much slower. One of the more popular kinds is Argentium Sterling Silver. The reason this tarnishes at a slower rate is because some of the copper has been replaced with germanium.
If you have regular sterling silver jewelry whether its anklets, charms, or beads, there are ways you can take care of it. One of the easiest ways to take care of it is by placing it in a zip lock bag. In addition, you can purchase anti-tarnish strips to place inside the bag with the jewelry. This will keep any moisture from getting to your jewelry and extend the life of your jewelry drastically.
Another option is to purchase a tarnish removing cloth, as these tend to contain chemicals that help reduce tarnishing. It is with this cloth that you will want to clean your jewelry with because it takes away any tarnish that has built up and will make it much shinier.
Aside from this, it is up to you to take care of your sterling silver. This means taking it off when you wash your hands, applying hairspray and lotion and perfume before you put your jewelry on, and making sure to place it in a zip lock bag when you are not wearing it. If you do this, you can maintain quality sterling silver jewelry for years to come.
