The main reasons for silver rings turning black are: long-term uncleanliness, natural oxidation, chemical corrosion, sweat oxidation, etc.
What is the reason for the silver ring turning black
1. Long term uncleanliness
After long-term wearing, silver rings will accumulate certain impurities such as dust and dirt on the surface, and long-term uncleanliness will have a certain impact on the beauty of silver rings.
2. Natural oxidation
When silver rings are exposed to air for a long time, silver ions will react with sulfur ions in the air to produce black oxides, causing the silver ring to turn black and discolor.
3. Chemical corrosion
When wearing a silver ring and frequently coming into contact with cosmetics, detergents, shower gel, and other products, the chemical components in these products will gradually corrode the surface of the silver ring, affecting its color.
4. Sweat oxidation
Some people have high levels of acidity and sulfur in their sweat, which can cause the surface of silver jewelry to turn black. Therefore, people with weak acidic constitutions do not care about silver, and silver jewelry is prone to turning black.
What should I do if the silver ring turns black
1. Toothpaste cleaning
Apply particle free toothpaste to the surface of the silver ring, gently scrub with your hands, and then rinse thoroughly.
2. Cola soaking
Soak the silver ring in diluted cola for about ten minutes and scrub it clean.
3. Wipe with a silver cloth
When purchasing a silver ring, merchants will give away a silver wiping cloth. If the oxidation marks on the silver ring are not very heavy, you can directly use the silver wiping cloth to wipe it.
4. Ash wiping
Wrap the cigarette ash in a cotton cloth and wet it, then put the silver ring inside the cigarette ash and rub it. Finally, take it out and rinse off the surface of the cigarette ash.
5. Tea soaking
Prepare some overnight strong tea, keep the tea leaves, soak the blackened silver ring in the tea for about half an hour, and scrub it several times with a soft brush or cloth to achieve the cleaning effect.
