Silver is a natural and precious metal that naturally darkens over time. This is a natural process characteristic of the metal. The speed of this process depends on multiple factors, such as the oxidation of oxygen in the atmosphere that reacts with the metal, as well as the use of chemicals on the skin, such as creams and perfumes. In addition, the level of body sweat or even the pH of the individual's skin can also affect the process.
All finishes degrade with wear, friction and the passage of time. Pay special attention to gold-plated rings and bracelets. The lifespan of these pieces, in order to keep them in perfect condition for as long as possible, will depend on these factors and the use you make of the jewelry.
If you need to restore your pieces, we offer a service for this. Taking care of them will help you keep them in perfect condition, and you will be able to preserve their original appearance by following these tips:
I. Put on your jewelry after grooming and perfuming, and take them off beforehand to avoid snagging and possible breakage or damage.
II. It is not recommended to wear them in the shower, the swimming pool, the sea or while doing household chores. Salt, chlorine and chemicals can damage them.
III. These are delicate pieces and may be affected after continuous use with liquids such as perfumes, creams, or oils. Exposure to certain environments can also compromise the integrity of your jewelry, including your own perspiration (sweat). We recommend removing any jewelry before engaging in physical activities or going to sleep.
IV. If your jewelry has darkened over time, you can restore its original tone by soaking the pieces in warm water with neutral soap or baking soda for a few minutes. Gently scrub them with a soft brush and rinse them delicately with warm water. Then, dry them with a soft cloth.
V. Always store your jewelry away from damp spaces, such as a bathroom, and keep them away from direct sunlight. Ideally, use a jewelry box with individual airtight plastic bags for each piece.
