Do you know what silver jewelry is? Silver jewelry is products made from silver metal. There are many different types of silver jewelry, but the most popular are 925 silver, 95 silver and 10 silver. What is 925 silver? 925 silver is a type of silver that contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals such as copper, nickel, silicon, etc.
Specifically, the percentage of metal components in 925 silver will depend on the formula of each goldsmith. This formula will determine the hardness, flexibility, and brightness of 925 silver. 925 silver also has other names such as Italian silver, Italian silver, Italian silver 925.
Is silver jewelry safe for the skin? This is a question that many Ddreamer Jewelry customers often care about when buying silver jewelry. Today, Ddreamer will answer you about the material and how to preserve silver jewelry to always keep its sparkling beauty.
Ddreamer Jewelry is a prestigious and quality silver jewelry brand, with products made from 925 silver (92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other alloys to increase hardness and ease of processing), 95 silver and 10 silver (contains more silver, brighter). This is the most popular type of silver in the world, does not cause allergies or skin irritation to users.
Most of Ddreamer products retain the ivory white color of silver, very luxurious and sophisticated. However, due to the nature of the metal, silver can also be oxidized or blackened (tarnished) when exposed to air, sweat, chemicals, etc. At that time, silver jewelry will appear dull, tarnished or blackened.
To limit this, you should wear silver jewelry regularly to create a protective layer for the silver, clean the jewelry after use and keep it in a sealed plastic bag when not in use. You should also avoid letting the jewelry come into contact with perfumes, lotions, topical medications, etc. because they can cause the surface of silver jewelry to tarnish quickly.
So why does silver turn black? It is due to a chemical reaction between silver and sulfur in the environment. Sulfur can be found in the air, hot springs, and even in human sweat. When these two substances meet, they will create an insoluble black precipitate called silver-sulfur salt. This precipitate will stick to the surface of the silver jewelry, making it opaque and black.
Did you know that your sweat can also affect the color of your silver jewelry? Sweat contains not only salt but also sulfur-containing amino acids. If you sweat a lot or have sweat glands that can remove silver-sulfur salts, your silver jewelry will stay bright for a long time. On the contrary, if you sweat less or have sweat glands that can produce silver-sulfur salts, your silver jewelry will quickly turn black.
Some other reasons that can make your sweat more sulfurous than normal are hormonal disorders. You should pay attention to the following signs:
- If you wear silver jewelry in many different places and they all tarnish, you may have a systemic disease that affects your body's hormonal balance.
- If you only wear silver jewelry in a certain place and it tarnishes, you may have a local disease that affects the sweat glands in that area.
- If you are a woman and have recently become pregnant, you will have a “hormonal storm” that will cause your silver jewelry to tarnish quickly.
- If you have polycystic ovary, pituitary or adrenal glands, you will also secrete more sebum and sulfur, making your silver jewelry easily blackened.
- If you are going through puberty, your hormone levels are also very high, causing excessive sweating and high sulfur levels.
If you experience the above conditions, you should monitor your health and see a doctor if necessary. Don't let silver jewelry worry you too much, because Ddreamer always has a solution for you. Ddreamer also has a free permanent polishing service for its products. You just need to bring the jewelry to the store or send it by post, Ddreamer will help you renew the jewelry.
