Is it possible to get earrings with pearls wet?
By purchasing jewelry, we acquire, first of all, an image and become a bearer of a certain social status. Previously, they did not have the same value that they have for us today. People believed that jewelry carried a certain magical meaning, that they protected from evil spells, from grief and even from physical harm. Partially this tradition has been preserved to this day. Jewelry needs care and it is not at all necessary to take it to expensive jewelry workshops. You can take care of your treasures yourself. Moreover, this is done simply and quickly, and, most importantly, does not require financial investments on your part. For example, products with precious opal inserts cannot be cleaned in an ultrasonic bath. It is enough not to wear the opal every day and from time to time immerse it in purified water for a couple of minutes. It is not recommended to expose precious and semi-precious stones to mechanical and thermal stress. Gray plaque on jewelry is caused by improvised means such as soap or cream. Try to protect products from interaction with cosmetics and household chemicals. If your habit does not include removing your ring before washing your hands, then check out the easiest, but certainly effective ways to preserve the pristine beauty of the product.

Gilding
Recently, in the windows of jewelry stores you can see pseudo-gold jewelry at a very affordable price. Of course, a client of such a salon will immediately have a question: “Why so cheap?“The answer is very simple. Let’s look at the test. Yeah. 925. That’s where the dog is buried – it’s silver. But why does it look so much like gold? Again, the answer is not difficult. Gold plating, gilding. We take the product in our hands and the sales assistant begins to describe all the advantages of purchasing such jewelry. Yes, and the truth is practically indistinguishable from gold. Yes, the price suits me. So what if the stone is synthetic (in gold-plated products, the inserts are mainly made of cubic zirconia, which is an artificially grown diamond). Let’s take it. They write you a check and invite you to visit the store again. Then small difficulties begin. For example, gilding should never be immersed in water. The jewelry darkens, loses its color and its former resemblance to gold. So, for those who are still planning to acquire gold-plated jewelry, we will give some basic advice. Firstly, and most importantly, never get such a product wet. Don’t leave it in the bathroom. Moisture will have a detrimental effect on the appearance of your ring. Secondly, gilding is not intended for permanent wear. It will be better if you take off your jewelry regularly. And finally, thirdly, in order to extend the life of your favorite accessory, it needs to be cleaned. Belkom. Take a raw egg and separate the yolk from the white. We won’t need the yolk. You will need a cotton swab. We will dip it in the protein and thoroughly wipe it on your favorite bracelet or earrings. Do not wash off the protein with water! We find flannel fabric and polish it with gentle movements. That’s it, the hardest part is over.
Silver
Now let’s turn to the white, alluring, steely, cold shine of the aristocratic metal – silver. Caring for it is not difficult. Once every six months, it is enough to coat the products with toothpaste and brush with a soft toothbrush. It is better to wash off the paste under running cold water. By the way, you can also buy a special cloth for cleaning silver in stores.
Gold
Next is gold. Few people are able to remain indifferent when looking at this sunny metal, sparkling with a noble shine. Gold jewelry has always been valued and will continue to be valued significantly higher than silver, but inferior to platinum. Here, care will also not cause a big problem and large expenses. Just crush the chalk and add a couple of drops of ammonia (you can easily buy it at any pharmacy). Cover the product with the resulting slurry, without pressing too hard so as not to scratch it, wipe the decoration. Rinse under running cold water. By the way, semi-precious stones are also cleaned in the same simple way. A little secret. If you wear rings or earrings with an intricate pattern, then cleaning such items with chalk will not be practical. Imagine what it’s like to then pull out the chalk from under the beautiful branches and masterly curls. There’s a little trick here. Take a needle and twist a piece of cotton wool onto it. Let’s say right away that it is advisable to do this more firmly so that the cotton wool does not slip off. A cotton swab will not work! It’s too wide for such jewelry work! Dip the needle into ethyl alcohol or vodka and polish hard-to-reach areas. All! Do not wash off or wipe off. The alcohol will quickly evaporate, and the product will be as good as new or even better.
Pearl
Among precious stones, pearls stand apart. I would like to talk about it separately. Products with pearls were originally intended for women. Representatives of the fair sex are able to appreciate the mother-of-pearl shine of a pearl. And she, in turn, will bestow femininity and special charm on her owner. Pearls are the only jewelry material that is formed in the body of mollusks, and they are perhaps one of the oldest stones used as jewelry, since they do not require additional processing. For many centuries, high-quality pearls sold for very large sums, but with the advent of cultured pearls in the markets in 1920-1930, this price superiority came to an end. Pearls belong to the category of natural stones. To prevent a natural pearl from losing its shine, it must be worn on the body – if left alone, it will die. By the way, the shine of pearls can be very different – pink, white, yellow, black and even blue. Blue pearls are very rare, and therefore are valued much higher than stones, for example, of a pink hue. Pearls react negatively to alkali and acid, and therefore it is recommended to remove jewelry before doing any homework. Do not leave the product in a warm, humid place – this will destroy the stone. It will be useful to “bathe” it in sea water. Imitation pearls should be stored in a dry place, wrapped in a piece of velvet or suede. To summarize, I would like to repeat – stones are living. They absorb the energy of their owner. They help and warn. Never wear other people’s jewelry, it can bring trouble. If there is a need to remove the jewelry and give it to another person, do not give the jewelry to someone else. Place on a hard surface. Don’t cry when you lose your favorite ring. It left you to take trouble away from you. Tell him thank you, and perhaps he will return to you. Look after, protect, love your stones, and they will answer you in kind and become faithful, silent companions of a happy life. We have divided tips on how to clean silver with pearls into two groups – for jewelry made of rhodium-plated and non-rhodium-plated metal. Such jewelry does not require careful care, since it is reliably protected from darkening by a layer of rhodium, which practically does not oxidize upon contact with air and moisture. This noble platinum group metal gives jewelry a sophisticated look thanks to its bright white-silver hue and cool shine. In addition, it significantly increases the durability of jewelry, protecting the metal from scratches. To remove dust, particles of grease or cosmetics from rhodium-plated silver jewelry, it is enough to:
- wipe from time to time with velvet cloth (suede, flannel);
- Once every 2-3 months, wash with a weak soap solution, be sure to rinse then in clean water.
This kind of jewelry needs care. Silver tarnishes and darkens from contact with skin, cosmetics, air, and moisture. There are several ways to restore it to its original appearance.
- Visit a jewelry workshop where jewelry is treated with special compounds or ultrasound.
- Buy care products at a jewelry store and clean the accessories yourself. Such drugs are produced under the brands Leuchtturm, Silbo, Aladdin, Talisman, Thurman and others.
- Buy a special household device (ultrasonic bath) for cleaning jewelry.
- Use proven household methods.
Home Remedies for Cleaning Silver
Foam bath. Dissolve a teaspoon of liquid soap (shampoo) in a glass of warm water. Place the jewelry in the solution for an hour. Carved and openwork parts can be additionally rubbed with a soft brush or cotton swab. After taking a foam bath, rinse the jewelry thoroughly with running water and dry with flannel or velvet cloth.
Salt + water. Place the pearl jewelry on a white linen or cotton napkin and sprinkle thickly with salt. Tie the ends of the fabric together to make a tight pouch. Rinse it in water until the salt dissolves. Contact with salt particles cleanses the silver and acquires shine, and the delicate shimmer returns to the pearl, because it is a sea mineral and loves salt.
Silver jewelry parts can be cleaned:
- a slurry of soda, chalk or potato starch;
- an ordinary stationery eraser;
- toothpaste;
- ammonia (5 drops per 200 ml).
But such procedures are contraindicated for pearls – during friction, fine abrasive particles will damage the mother-of-pearl surface of the beads, and alcohol turns the pearls yellow.
And a couple more tips
- Be sure to remove jewelry before household chores so as not to risk the beauty of silver and stones – household chemicals, steam, or hot water can cause the metal to lose its noble shine, and mother-of-pearl its exquisite shimmer.
- Don’t forget for too long about necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings with pearls – this is a special stone that ages quickly if you just keep it in a box and not wear it.
