Red Nymph Jewelry
Rouge is one of must-have instruments of female makeup. For beauty-pursuing female, silver jewelry is indispensable. When it comes to silver jewelry and rouge, it sounds like that maintenance of silver jewelry having nothing to do with rouge.
This is not the case. Some females can’t wait to buy new rouge while rouge on the hand is not used up and not expired in shelf life, put it aside, remember to use it for fear of waste after a period of time, but concern about adverse effect when it’s used with new rouge. In fact, it’s safe to reuse rouge not thinned, bled, discolored and smelled after use. If you don’t feel safe, use it in another way! For example, used rouge is a good polisher of silver jewelry.
Use of rouge: Clean silver jewelry or renovate leather wear with rouge. Dress rouge on napkin tissue, repeatedly wipe up darkened part of silverware or silver jewelry, to make it brand new; if white appears on worn leather wear, dress the rouge of the same color, and then apply egg white is OK.
Principle: Silver sulfide is the cause of darkened silver jewelry. The rouge contains emulsifier, which causes floating of silver sulfide and other small pollutants; also, most rouges contain bright-colored fine particles of titanium oxide, which is efficient to remove the floating dirt. Therefore, any type of rouge is helpful to polish silver jewelry.
The oxide layer on silver jewelry is very thin, so polishing common silver product with rouge is OK. However, this method is not advisable for silver plated products or some products by special processing, and it’s best to have it cleaning by professional jeweler.
Simply polishing your silver works well when the tarnishing is not too severe. It’s also the best method for cleaning oxidized silver, as you can stay away from the intentionally tarnished areas.
Silver is soft and can become scratched easily. You can use a special silver cloth to polish your items, but a lint-free flannel, microfiber, or other soft nonabrasive cloth will do as well. Do not use paper towels or tissues to polish your jewelry as they contain fibers that can scratch the silver.
When polishing, use long back-and-forth motions that mirror the grain of the silver. Do not rub in circles, as this will magnify any tiny scratches. Also, change to a different section of your cloth frequently to avoid placing tarnish back on the silver. You can use a Q-tip to get into small, detailed areas.
All people who wear sterling silver jewelry need to care for it on occasion.
Sterling silver tarnishes, and we need to clean and polish it to keep it sparkling.
Highly polished silver can reflect up to 95% of direct light back to the viewer, giving it
a truly mirror like finish. Some pieces just don’t look right unless they’re really polished –
to a bright shine – while other pieces look their best with an “antique style” finish.
While silver jewelry is easy to care for and can be cleaned like any other metal object,
most of us like to keep the patina that develops on silver over time because it gives the metal
a deep shine and a glow other metals just can’t compare to.
Cleaning sterling silver jewelry can remove this patina along with the tarnish.
We never clean our personal silver jewelry if at all possible … we polish it.
Polishing silver jewelry gives it a soft look instead of the stark,
harsh look silver can get after the patina has been removed.
