Care for your jewelry

Leah — Sun, 13 May 2007 17:41:11 +0000

It's been a while since I last wrote about caring for jewelry - and since I use a lot of silver and pearls in my work, it seems appropriate to mention how to care for these materials. The key to preventing tarnish on silver is keeping it clean, and storing it sealed off from air, humidity, and chemicals. Anti-tarnish cloth lining in jewelry boxes also helps. The key to caring for pearls is to avoid contact with chemicals and anything acidic. Pearls are beautiful, but delicate, and can be damaged by seemingly innocent things like hairspray, so keep pearls clean, but avoid using chemical cleaners on them. My favorite way to store silver jewelry is in plastic zip-lock baggies. Since I have a lot of jewelry - most of it stock that I take to art and craft shows or deliver to the stores and galleries that sell my work - I need a solution that keeps my jewelry from tarnishing but also doesn't take up much space. Plastic bags are the perfect solution. Tupperware-style containers also work well. Pearl jewelry should be cushioned, so I recommend anti-tarnish cloth pouches for silver and pearl jewelry, especially if it is stored in a box with other jewelry items that could scratch the surface of the pearls. Another thing that helps, and don't ask me why, is to put a small piece of aluminum foil inside the container you use to store your silver. It might work for the same reasons this simple recipe helps to remove light tarnish from silver jewelry (and is one of the *only* safe cleaning methods for pearl jewelry): In a bowl, place a piece of aluminum foil. Put your jewelry on top of the foil so that the silver is touching the foil. Sprinkle baking soda on top, and add hot water. Swish the water around for a few minutes, then remove the jewelry and dry with a soft cloth. Another useful cleaning tip: wipe silver with a polishing cloth after wearing it, and if your jewelry comes in contact with sweat, perfume, hair products, or other cosmetics, it doesn't hurt to rinse it in lukewarm water and dry with a soft cloth. Then don't forget to store it away from air and moisture to keep it looking shiny and new! Some don'ts: *don't put on your jewelry until you are finished styling your hair, doing your make-up, etc. Chemicals in beauty products can accelerate tarnishing, and damage pearls and some gemstones *don't get salad dressing on your pearls. Seriously - vinegar, which is a common ingredient in salad dressing, will damage pearls. If you do spill on your pearls, rinse them in warm water and dry with a soft cloth. *don't keep jewelry in the bathroom - it's the most humid part of your house, and an area that usually has the most chemicals (in the form of cosmetic products and household cleaning products, which can damage jewelry). *remove silver and pearls before cleaning your house - again, the chemicals can damage pearls and accelerate tarnish on silver. *don't use a silver dip on jewelry that contains pearls, shell, stones, and other non-metal materials. Silver dips are really intended only for silver - try the baking soda and hot water rinse for jewelry that combines silver and other materials - it's much safer, if not quite as instant. I'm gradually transitioning from using standard sterling silver to Argentium sterling silver and fine silver, both of which are less prone (though not immune) to tarnish. I hope that by using these alloys, my jewelry will be easier to care for, so although Argentium and fine silver are slightly more expensive than sterling silver, I think it's worth it for jewelry that resists tarnish and therefore looks new much longer.

A Note About Argentium Silver

Leah — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 19:09:45 +0000

Argentium silver is my current favorite metal to work with. It resists tarnishing, which means less maintenance for both me and my customers. It also fuses better than traditional sterling silver, which makes a lot of the metalwork I like to do easier. I just heard that in a recent Lapidary Journal, an article stated that Argentium does not contain copper. This is incorrect - Argentium silver does contain copper (as does traditional sterling silver - copper adds some hardness and durability to silver, which is desirable in finished jewelry) but a little bit of the copper is replaced with germanium. Germanium reacts with the air to form germanium oxide at the surface of the metal, which is what helps slow or prevent tarnish.

The Pearl Book, 3rd Edition: The Definitive Buying Guide: How to Select, Buy Care for & Enjoy Pearls By Antoinette L. Matlins This book is the most informative guide to pearls I have read. If you love pearls, this book will give you lots of information on how to determine pearl quality, the kinds of treatments commonly used on pearls, and the difference between natural and cultured pearls, and freshwater and saltwater pearls. It's not a quick read - there is a ton of information - but it's very useful for anyone wanting to educate themselves about pearls and the pearl industry. That goes for jewelry makers as well as consumers.

Cleaning and Caring for Resin Jewelry

Leah — Mon, 05 Jun 2006 20:32:02 +0000

Since resin jewelry is so different from metal jewelry, I thought it would be useful to post a few tips on caring for it. Resin is a kind of plastic, so it can be cleaned with water and hand soap or dish soap - very easy! Resin jewelry doesn't need to be polished. If it starts to look dull or dingy, try cleaning it under running water with a little hand soap. If that doesn't help, it's possible that the resin has been scratched, in which case the best way to fix it involves filling the scratches with more resin. In my experience, scratching has not been a problem, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. I recommend storing resin jewelry wrapped in tissue, a plastic bag, a tissue filled box, or a cloth pouch. This is similar to the way I recommend storing silver, except that with resin, there is no need to worry about keeping it dry and tarnish free, so really any container that will provide a cushion between it and all the other objects in a jewelry box is fine.

Caring for pearl jewelry

Leah — Fri, 27 Jan 2006 19:09:30 +0000

Caring for pearl jewelry is a little bit harder than caring for all metal, or even metal and stone jewelry, because pearls are more easily damaged. Here are a few things to remember:

Pearls are softer than most stones - so they can be scratched more easily. I advise storing pearls wrapped in a soft cloth, so that other jewelry in your jewelry box doesn't scratch them.
Pearls can be damaged by almost anything acidic - this includes salad dressing that contains vinegar, for example. After wearing pearls close to your skin, or if they may have come in contact with salad dressing or other mildly acidic food products, wipe them with a damp soft cloth. If the pearls are strung on silk, you don't want to get the silk wet because it may stretch, but pearls that are set in metal or strung on wire can actually be rinsed off and cleaned with a very mild liquid soap.
Because pearls can be damaged by chemicals in hair and cosmetic products, don't use hairspray or spray perfume, deoderants, etc. while wearing your pearls. Ideally, pearls are the last thing you put on before leaving the house, and the first thing you take off when you return home.
Don't use a silver dip to clean jewelry containing both pearls and silver. In a recent post, I described a safer method of removing tarnish from silver jewelry containing pearls, using aluminum foil, baking soda, and hot water.

Preventing Tarnish

Leah — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 00:27:09 +0000

Here are a few tips for preventing (or at least slowing) the tarnishing process:

Store jewelry in a clean, dry environment
Before storing your jewelry, clean it, and wipe metal parts with a silver polishing cloth (many brands contain chemicals that will help prevent tarnish from forming; they will also remove slight tarnish that has started forming)
Consider purchasing anti-tarnish strips or anti-tarnish cloth (also called pacific cloth) for long-term jewelry storage
Do not wear your jewelry in the shower, swimming pools, hot tubs, while cooking, or while using hair products or household cleaning products. These situations can expose the metal to sulphur and other chemicals that may cause oxides and sulfides (in other words, tarnish) to form.
Clean and polish jewelry when tarnish starts - it is a lot easier to remove light tarnish (i.e. with a polishing cloth) than heavy tarnish.

Pearls are softer than most stones - so they can be scratched more easily. I advise storing pearls wrapped in a soft cloth, so that other jewelry in your jewelry box doesn't scratch them.
Pearls can be damaged by almost anything acidic - this includes salad dressing that contains vinegar, for example. After wearing pearls close to your skin, or if they may have come in contact with salad dressing or other mildly acidic food products, wipe them with a damp soft cloth. If the pearls are strung on silk, you don't want to get the silk wet because it may stretch, but pearls that are set in metal or strung on wire can actually be rinsed off and cleaned with a very mild liquid soap.
Because pearls can be damaged by chemicals in hair and cosmetic products, don't use hairspray or spray perfume, deoderants, etc. while wearing your pearls. Ideally, pearls are the last thing you put on before leaving the house, and the first thing you take off when you return home.
Don't use a silver dip to clean jewelry containing both pearls and silver. In a recent post, I described a safer method of removing tarnish from silver jewelry containing pearls, using aluminum foil, baking soda, and hot water.

Preventing Tarnish

Here are a few tips for preventing (or at least slowing) the tarnishing process:

Store jewelry in a clean, dry environment
Before storing your jewelry, clean it, and wipe metal parts with a silver polishing cloth (many brands contain chemicals that will help prevent tarnish from forming; they will also remove slight tarnish that has started forming)
Consider purchasing anti-tarnish strips or anti-tarnish cloth (also called pacific cloth) for long-term jewelry storage
Do not wear your jewelry in the shower, swimming pools, hot tubs, while cooking, or while using hair products or household cleaning products. These situations can expose the metal to sulphur and other chemicals that may cause oxides and sulfides (in other words, tarnish) to form.
Clean and polish jewelry when tarnish starts - it is a lot easier to remove light tarnish (i.e. with a polishing cloth) than heavy tarnish.

Copper is a very safe metal for jewelry, buying Imovane online over the counter, Imovane photos, but if your skin gets itchy here are a few tips:

Keep the jewelry very clean.

Try coating earwires with clear nail polish - I have a friend who does this to all of her metal earwires - when it starts to come off, she removes the rest with nail polish remover & then coats them again.

Remove earrings at night, effects of Imovane, Buy Imovane from mexico, rather than sleeping in them. And don't forget to clean them - a lot of people who think they have a metal allergy are actually reacting to dirt and oils that build up on the jewelry.

Cleaning Silver

Here's an easy way to clean sterling silver jewelry that has gotten a little tarnished: Put a piece of aluminum foil in the bottom of a bowl. Place the jewelry on top of the foil. Cover the jewelry and aluminum foil with not quite boiling hot water, and add baking soda. I've heard it works even better if you add a little salt. The baking soda should bubble, and when it stops bubbling, the tarnish should be gone. To get silver really shiny, use a polishing cloth after cleaning. I use Sunshine brand cloths (which I also sell) but there are many silver polishing cloths on the market that will work. Goddard brand silver cloths are high-quality polishing cloths that can sometimes be found at shops selling beauty supplies or jewelry cleaners. I do not recommend using commericial silver dips to remove tarnish from jewelry that is not exclusively sterling silver. The reason for this is that the chemicals in many of these products can damage pearls and other common jewelry materials, including some stones. While I can't guarantee that the baking soda/aluminum foild method is safe for all jewelry materials, it is definitely safer for most common jewelry materials than using harsh chemicals.
