Bracelets are adored by women of all
ages. There is a wide range of Silver
bracelets for women that are being purchased every day. But
still many women don't know how to take proper care of these elegant
embellishments. When silver is exposed to particular elements, it can
cause it to oxidize or to tarnish. The catalysts for tarnish include
many elements such as sulfur, oxygen, or even the salt residue from
your hands. There is some proper care and cleaning that one must know
to keep silver best looking. Here are some helpful tips to keep your
silver bracelet looking beautiful.
Preventing your bracelets from
staining
After you buy
silver bracelet online there are some precautionary measures
that needs to be considered for longer life of your bracelets. There
are certain products and chemicals that can cause your silver
bracelet to stain that should be prevented. Do not apply any sort of
perfume,sun tan oil, hair color, rubber, hair spray and body lotions
while wearing your silver adornment. These all have chemicals that
can potentially cause your embellishment to tarnish.
Ladies should always remember to
remove any silver jewelry while working with chemicals such as
ammonia, bleach, finger nail polish removers with acetone and
alcohol. Also the acids in cardboard and newspaper can be noxious to
your silver bracelet. Avoid contact with wool and do not shower with
your silver bracelet on. Keep your adornment away from these things
to avoid potential tarnish.
Give special cleaning treatment to
your Bracelets
You should clean your silver
bracelet on a regular basis to remove tarnish. For cleaning your
wristband, do not use any materials that are too rough and that will
scratch the adornment. Never use a toothbrush for cleaning purpose,
irrespective of the soft bristles of the brush. Rather, clean your
silver bracelet with a soft or a lint-free cloth. It is better to
wear plastic gloves instead of rubber gloves since it can perhaps
cause the silver to stain. The cleaning steps that need to be
followed are as under.
1. With your plastic gloves and soft cloth you are all set
to begin cleaning your silver bracelet.
2. Start removing any dust or debris that could possibly
scratch the item.
3. Rinse the bracelet with warm water and mild soap (avoid
scented soaps) and pat dry.
4. The bracelet is now ready to be polished. Many polishes
are available in different forms (i.e. pastes, liquids, and foams).
My advice would be to use a polish that gives a wax-like finish; this
creates a barrier for future tarnish.
5. No matter what you use, be sure to remove all the
polish from your jewelry. To finish, rinse in warm water (do not
soak) and pat dry.
