Nobody is impervious when it comes to the feather earrings, but almost no one is aware of how to maintain the rarity exactly. What’s more, the majority think it hard or even impossible to keep it well. As we all know, silver has a more lively chemistry character than platinum and gold. So it could be oxidized by the water in the air or other chemical substances just as easily. When oxidized, the tempting ornament will turn black or yellow and lose its shine. Knowing this feature, the feather earrings will always be fresh-looking if we just do a few things in the daily life.
Best of all the measures to maintain the jewelry is just wearing it day in and day out. The grease on the surface of the skin could make it seem more naturally. Once it becomes grey, we’d better smear a little toothpaste on the jewelry and knead it with some water for a few minutes, and then it will come back shinning when swashed.
Don’t go swimming wearing the feather earrings and keep it drying. Keep it never be damped by hot spring water or seawater. The seawater is caustic to silver. If you have to wear other valuable metal jewelry at the same time, be sure they won’t collide, otherwise our beloved will be forced to distort. If you are mean to wear it all the time, remember to wipe the jewelry with soft cloth carefully before putting it away. Be sure there is no any water or dirt and keep it in an airtight bag or box.
When you notice a sign that the jewelry is turning yellow, don’t be too nervous. Clean the slot with a little brush carefully, and then drop a little emulsion which is used to clean the jewelry on a piece of tissue to wipe off the chloride on the surface of it. You will find it just like a new one. Of course, if a piece of special used cloth could make it fresh-looking, there is no need to clean the jewelry with emulsion which is caustic more or less. It will make the jewelry become yellow more easily. Besides, the professional used cloth for cleaning jewelry couldn’t be washed in the water.
Electroplating is a real way to keep the silver from being oxidized. For the electroplated jewelry, we could clean it with a mixture of alum and boiling water in a proportion of one to ten. Then put it in the cold water, brush the jewelry with a litle dentifrice. Wash it and it will come back shining. If the jewelry is not electroplated, bake it over the fire to break the structure of the exterior. Then just deal with it as the electroplated one.
At last, there also exists a knack for the maintenance of the feather earrings. In order not to be oxidized, smear a little nail polish on the jewelry every ten days.
