Store silver jewelry properly

As beautiful as silver jewelry is, unfortunately it is prone to unsightly discoloration. The main reason for the tarnishing of the accessories is oxygen. Oxygen reacts with silver and leads to oxidation, which then often causes green-brown spots on the piece of jewelry. Silver jewelry should therefore be stored in such a way that it does not come into contact with any or only as little oxygen as possible. technologyies

This works best if you pack the jewelry in small, airtight bags ( buy here at Amazon *), which you can then keep in a jewelry box. Even better: add a piece of chalk and some aluminum foil to the jewelry bag. Chalk and aluminum foil prevent the pieces from discolouring. techiescity

Store gold jewelry properly

Gold jewelry has experienced a real boom in recent years. No wonder, pieces of jewelry in gold always look super elegant and stylish. But like silver, gold jewelry (especially low-alloy pieces) also tends to tarnish over time and develop a dark patina. To avoid this, gold jewelry should also be kept airtight.

By the way: if it is pure gold with no silver or copper in it, air, water and acids cannot harm the precious metal. themarketingpilot

Store jewelry with precious stones correctly

Jewelery with precious stones should primarily be protected from UV radiation. The direct sunlight can discolour the sparkling stones. In the case of amber and coral, on the other hand, there is a risk that they will form small cracks or even break if they come into contact with excessive UV radiation. technologywebdesign

 

In general, gemstones can scratch quickly and should therefore be kept separate from other jewelry in a lockable jewelry box. technologytimesnow

Store costume jewelry properly

For those who do not lack to invest so much money in jewelry, who like to join in every trend or are just looking for a suitable accessory for a special occasion, costume jewelry is a good choice.

Costume jewelry is usually made of cheap and simple materials that are not harmed by light and air. Therefore, it is not necessary to keep costume jewelry airtight. Earrings, necklaces and the like can also be nicely arranged on a decorative jewelry stand or in a jewelry bowl.

Tip: Unfortunately, fashion jewelry does not have a long lifespan and discolors after frequent wear. In order to delay discoloration, the pieces should be protected from water and cosmetic products such as hand cream , hairspray or soap.
