How to care for your silver
Silver is attractive for its soft shine and gentle texture.
However, when I tried to use it after a long time, it turned black. Oh my God.
Silver reacts with sulfur contained in the air and sebum, etc., and "sulfides" and turns black.
If you accidentally put it in a hot spring, it will turn into oxidized silver.
As with pearls, silver accessories should be wiped lightly after use and kept out of the air as much as possible. Here's a trick to use all the time.
The interesting thing about silver is that it is strangely difficult to discolor if you wear it on a daily basis. This is probably because it is constantly polished by friction.
Monstera leaf encloses a "discoloration prevention chip" in the product. A small piece of black paper measuring 25x25mm helps prevent discoloration! This is the "anti-tarnish tab". Effective on all metals. It is an excellent item that can prevent discoloration just by putting one in the accessory case. (The effect is 6 months to 1 year depending on usage)

After scrubbing, wash with water, polish with a soft, dry cloth, and dry.
■ Use toothpaste
Toothpaste (so-called toothpaste) contains surfactants and abrasives and is paste-like, so you can use it as it is for cleaning silver.
Usage is the same as layer. Use a toothbrush for fine details.
Be careful not to brush soft materials such as pearls.
Silver is a little more difficult than other metals, but if you know its characteristics, you will be surprised by its wonderful charm.
