Caring for Sterling Silver Bracelets
Caring for sterling silver bracelets is simple when a bit of caution is used. Избягвайте контакт с спрейове и лосиони като спрей за коса, лосиони за тяло, и слънчев блок. Винаги премахвайте сребърните гривни, преди да работите с белина, амоняк, Алкохол или ток за нокти на пръсти, as these every day chemicals can cause the silver to tarnish.
Proper storage for sterling silver bracelets is also key to avoiding tarnish. A storage drawer or cabinet made for jewelry storage is ideal because it’s a cool and dry air-tight space. Ziploc bags are also a good solution, especially if anti-tarnishing strips are added.
If a bracelet hasn’t been worn for a few months, it may require minor cleaning such as a gentle rubbing with a soft cloth. For more in-depth cleaning of sterling silver bracelets, a soft bristled toothbrush and a little t.l.c. can go a long way. Remember to be gentle and use caution when cleaning any jewelry. When in doubt, consult a professional.
Remember that the most valuable sterling silver bracelets are the ones that are given to us by friends and loved ones. Regardless of the price of a bracelet, it can carry a whole lot of meaning while reflecting your own personal style.
