A Gentle Guide to Silver Care

1. Store in sealed pouch/box to prevent oxidation
2. Oxidation is normal. Clean with a silver polishing cloth.
3. Avoid wearing during physical activity or intense sweating.
4. Avoid contact with chemicals to prevent corrosion.
5. Pure silver is soft. Avoid pulling it excessively, squeezing it, or subjecting it to heavy impact.
6. Keep out of reach of infants and young children.

💫Will fine silver jewellery fade?

Answer: No, it will not fade.

Silver does not “lose its colour” like plated jewellery. However, it will naturally oxidise over time. ✢ Different skin chemistry creates different results: Some people find that their silver becomes shinier the more they wear it, while others may notice it turns darker more easily (elderly people often say it’s “toxins” — I personally belong to the group whose silver turns black quickly 😅). ✢ The darkening you see is simply silver sulfide (Ag₂S) forming on the surface, not fading or discoloration of the material. 👉 When silver oxidises and turns black, you can use Method 1: Aluminium Foil + Salt + Hot Water to restore its shine. ✨

💧 Can fine silver touch water?

Yes. Pure silver is not harmed by clean water. Daily handwashing or getting caught in the rain is generally fine. But take note: Avoid swimming pools (chlorine) and hot springs (sulphur)! Chlorine (Cl) and sulphur (S) react with silver and significantly accelerate tarnishing.

🛁Can you wear silver in the shower?

Daily showers are usually not a problem, and many people keep their jewellery on. ⚠️ However, be careful with the following: ✢ Sulphur soap must be avoided. ✢ The sulphur in the soap reacts with silver to form silver sulfide (Ag₂S). ✢ Silver sulfide appears yellow to black — this is the main reason silver turns dull or dark. 👉 If you use sulphur soap, please remove your silver jewellery before showering and put it back on afterwards. 👉 If your jewellery darkens due to contact with sulphur soap, you can clean it using Method 1 to restore its shine. ✨ Other things to be aware of: ✢ Certain ingredients in body wash, shampoo, or skincare may leave residues that cause dullness over time. ✢ Avoid spraying perfume directly on silver to prevent marks or accelerated oxidation.

😴 Can you wear silver while sleeping?

For bangles, it’s usually fine. But for delicate items such as bracelets, necklaces, or anklets, it’s best not to wear them to sleep. ✢ Fine silver has a purity of 99%, which makes it naturally soft. ✢ While sleeping, turning or pressing against the piece can cause deformation or even breakage. ✢ Thin chains and necklaces can also get tangled around the neck and pose a safety risk. Quick Tip: Keep a small velvet pouch with you; remove your jewellery before showering or sleeping and store it properly. Regardless of the design, all fine silver jewellery shares the same care requirements. Even the finest pieces need gentle handling and a bit of love. 💓

足银饰品 ✢ 日常保养

1. 不佩戴时请使用银饰袋/盒子密封保存以防氧化。
2. 氧化属正常现象,可用擦银布擦拭保养。
3. 参与体育活动/大量出汗时请勿佩戴。
4. 避免接触化学试剂以防腐蚀。
5. 足银材质柔软,避免拉扯、挤压、重击等情况。
6. 银饰为精密饰品,避免被婴幼儿玩耍、啃咬。

💫足银饰品会褪色吗?

答:不会褪色。

银不会像电镀那样“掉色”,可是,都会随着时间自然氧化。 ✢ 不同体质佩戴效果不同:有些人戴久了会越戴越亮;有些人则容易让银变黑(老人家常说“毒素多”,我自己是这样越戴越黑的体质😅)。 ✢ 变黑其实只是表面生成了 硫化银 (Ag₂S),并不是掉色。 👉 银饰氧化变黑,可以用【方法一:铝箔纸 + 盐 + 热水】清洗,就能恢复光亮✨。

💧 能不能碰水?

足银遇到清水是没问题的,一般洗手、淋雨都不会造成伤害。 但要注意:如果是 泳池水(含氯 Chlorine)、温泉水(含硫 Sulphur),一定要避免! 因为氯(Chlorine)和硫 (Sulphur)会与银发生反应,加速银饰氧化变黑。

🛁 洗澡能不能戴?

日常洗澡没问题,很多人也习惯直接佩戴不取下。 ⚠️ 但要特别注意: ✢ 硫磺皂 (Sulphur Soap) 千万别碰! ✢ 其中的硫 (Sulphur) 会与银发生化学反应,生成硫化银(Ag₂S)。 ✢ 硫化银表面呈黄色到黑色,这就是银饰变黄、变黑的主要原因。 👉 如果习惯用硫磺皂洗澡,务必在洗澡前取下银饰,洗完再戴回。 👉 如果不小心接触到硫磺皂导致变色,也不用担心,可以用【方法一:铝箔纸 + 盐 + 热水】清洗,就能恢复光亮✨。 另外要留意: ✢ 部分沐浴乳、洗发水、护肤品中的化学成分,长期残留也会让银饰失去光泽。 ✢ 香水不要直接喷在银饰上,以免留下痕迹或加速氧化。

😴 睡觉能不能戴?

手镯问题不大,但手链、项链、脚链这类较细的饰品最好不要戴着睡。 ✢ 大家都知道足银纯度高达 99%,材质比较柔软。 ✢ 睡觉时翻身、压到,很容易让银饰变形甚至断掉; ✢ 而细链、项链还可能在睡觉时缠绕脖子,存在安全隐患。 ⚡ 小贴士 随身准备一个小绒布袋,洗澡或睡觉时摘下放好。 其实无论哪种足银饰品,保养方法都是一样的: 再精贵的饰品,都需要小心爱护哦💓。
