1) The best maintenance of silver jewelry is to wear it every day, for human fat will enable mild and natural luster of silver (The exception is that, the sweat of some people contains component that will cause blackening of silver).
Keep silver jewelry well when it’s not used, and it is best be enclosed in sealed bag, to prevent silver surface from exposure to the air and causing resultant oxidation and blackening.
2) Empirical methods for daily cleaning: squeeze a little toothpaste on silver surface, add some water, rub to produce white bubbles, and wash with clean water to restore the sheen.
3) Do not wear other jewelry of noble metal together with silver jewelry, to avoid collision-induced deformation or scratch.
4) Keep silver jewelry in dry condition; do not wear it during swimming, or approach hot spring or seawater.
5) During wearing, wipe silver surface with soft cloth on a daily basis, to maintain the luster. However, special silver cleaning cloth is preferred. Silver cleaning cloth contains silver maintenance component and should not be washed with water.
6) In case of yellow discoloration of silver jewelry, clean the jewelry hairline with jewelry brush, then put one drop of silver cleaning lotion on facial tissue, to erase black oxide on silver surface, and then restore original silver white and luster with silver cleaning cloth.
7) It’s recommended that: if 80% silver white can be restored with silver cleaning cloth, then silver cleaning lotion and silver wash are not necessary, for these products are more or less caustic, and will accelerate yellow discoloration of silver jewelry. The silver jewelry, after frequent blackening, is hard to restore silver white with cleaning cloth.
8) Before use of silver cleaning cloth, discern whether silver jewelry is electroplated.
This is an important question that people aren’t always quite sure how to answer. Why do we even have to choose a colour that ‘fits’, surely the simplicity and everyday look of silver makes it easy to wear with anything – but that is not necessarily true. It comes down to a matter of taste and personal style.
Silver usually goes best with black but can also look amazing with white and gray. Officially, these are considered shades and not colors. These shades contrast well with silver, making us aware of its presence with it not being overpowered by color. With black you can wear any piece of silver jewelry and It’ll look fabulous, shining bright against the darkness of the cloth. With grey and white it’s best to go big – statement pieces work really well in how they make a basic, even bland outfit stand strong, bringing a wow factor to your attire. If you’re not looking for a statement piece, another option would be to layer and mix silver and golds.
Silver wears beautifully with dark navy or royal blue – These deep, sultry colors create a stunningly comfortable background for the silver to sit with, this is also true for warm purple or bordeaux/burgundy colors. These all happen to be winter colors too, which is interesting because the silver, kind of, represents the sparkling effect of the winter weather and festivities. A perfect outfit for a cool winter’s evening would be a royal blue dress, complemented with a long silver necklace.
White is as much a summer color as it is a winter color so you can wear white with silver jewelry, all year round. What we need to know now is what color does not go with silver:
Stay away from pastel colors such as lilac, light greens and pasty pinks. Silver does not mesh well with them and tends to lose its visibility within a cloud of pale colors.
Relatively if the color is too bright it can also clash so try to stay away from wearing luminous greens and yellows, they just eat up the silver so that you barely see it.
Cooler tones that look great with silver jewelry are colors such as a soft peach, ice pink or vanilla yellow – a shade of color that lies between ‘pastels’ and ‘bright’.
