How to clean jewelry?

Jewelry cleaning is basically divided into two parts, gemstones and metals. Both have their own preferences and the best way, depending on the specific situation.

First introduce the common cleaning tools. The selection method is attached at the end of the article.

1. Brush

It is very convenient to have brushes such as toothbrushes at hand. To clean jewelry, it is recommended to use dish soap. You can use fine-grained toothpaste to clean silver jewelry, which has a slight cleaning effect, but it will cause small scratches on the surface. Not recommended for use on coated jewelry. Delicate jewelry such as pearls should not touch a hard brush.

I generally use a soft brush, or a clarisonic face brush to clean my jewelry. This ultra-fine hair cleansing brush on Taobao has delicate, soft and very fine hair, which is very suitable for cleaning delicate things. I usually use it to clean antique jewelry with pearls in many details.

Toothbrush

In fact, toothbrush and toothpaste are also very useful. It is understandable to make an enhanced version of the soft brush. The different types of toothpaste will affect the effect. The toothpaste without particles / transparent one can be used to clean most jewelry. Those containing particles will leave some traces similar to crabapple powder on the metal, which will damage the surface of some low-hardness gemstones and organic gemstones, but it is also good for old silver jewelry or antiques. There is a particularly coarse-grained toothpaste that must be used with care. It is very effective in cleaning, but it may brush the metal out of the matte surface.

Electric toothbrushes and face wash brushes are two relatively stable options for cleaning jewelry.

2. Silver wiping cloth

The silver wiping cloth itself contains fine abrasives, which are equivalent to re-polishing. It is more convenient, it can only clean large areas, light oxidation, and the effect on oxidation accumulated over the years is very weak.

3. Begonia powder

In fact, it is fine calcium carbonate powder. Oxidation is removed by fine polishing the surface.

4. Silver paste

Silver rubbing paste is difficult to clean the details because of the paste. However, it is used to wipe antique utensils, etc., and it can retain the old feeling in a moderate way. Not valid on non-silver items.

5. Silver washing water

Through a chemical reaction, silver oxidation is reduced. I usually use Connoisseurs. The silver washing water cleans the details very well, and the chain can also be washed very clean, basically without dead ends. There is no damage to the coating and the cleaning effect is very good. Some gold-plated silver ornaments will have brown-blue markings for a long time, and silver washing water has the best effect. However, the reaction of silver washing water with the sulfur used for making old will turn the whole old part yellow, and it is difficult to wash off, so old silver jewelry must not be touched. Silver washing water will also damage the surface of pearls, etc. Organic gemstones should not be touched. If you have to use it, you can use a thin pen to dip it in a small area without touching the pearls, and then rinse it off immediately.

Silver washing water reacts differently to different proportions of silver. Some silver jewelry will turn yellow slightly after being washed for a while. Just wipe it with a silver cloth or crabapple powder.

6. Polishing strip

In fact, it is a polishing strip for manicure. It cannot handle the details, but it is also effective for fine scratches on the surface. The long-term oxidation effect is also good, and it can be used with an ultrasonic cleaner.

7. Home Ultrasound

The ultrasonic wave used for jewelry cleaning is the kind used to wash glasses, which is very convenient. The effect of ultrasound is very good. It can be used with dish soap. For jewelry with good stability, it can be used with glass water. For fashion jewelry, many imitation pearls are used, and there are many metal coatings. It is not recommended to use ultrasonic waves, which may cause destructive consequences. The surface nacre of the imitation pearl peels off in its entirety. For gemstones, ultrasonic waves may cause fragmentation for varieties with more fissures. Coral should not be used. Do not shake the old silver jewelry with the new silver jewelry, it will get dirty.

The maintenance method should take into account both gemstones and metals.

14 types of color makeup and super makeup-free base makeup

Recommend a few brands, these brands do not have overwhelming advertisements in various media, and basically rely on word of mouth for natural marketing. 1：Physicians Formula It is a brand from the United States, which was founded in the 1930s. Every product of this brand is very cost-effective. Like this eyeshadow. The actual color is as shown in the picture. Put a picture of the color test, you can see how delicate its powder is. I don't think there is any need for more words to describe it, one word: amazing. Maybe the eyeshadow with matte texture and no sequins is really not suitable to be described as stunning, but if you are a girl with inner double eyelids or slightly puffy eyelids, you will definitely agree with me when you use this eyeshadow palette, because it is delicate (and Not soft and waxy) The texture will never make your eyelids more swollen like a big sequin eyeshadow. Ps: Many high-end eye shadows are made very soft and waxy, but this is not a good thing for gi...

What's the most attractive thing a guy does?

First of all, this is a teaching post, not a storytelling session. The routines in the story are indeed very attractive when expressed in words, but there are too many restrictive conditions, such as the premise that the girl is your girlfriend, or is in an ambiguous state. The truly practical "flirting" refers to the process of making a girl's favorability for a boy go from zero to one, and then from one to one hundred. There is a saying that "Girls are not chased, but attracted". So, have you ever thought about what girls are attracted to? Someone rushed to answer "rich, handsome..." Then the question is, if you are on the same economic level as another boy, even he earns $500 more than your monthly salary; your looks are about the same, even he is five centimeters taller than you. This is most often the case because of social circle constraints. So, based on this premise, what is "flirting": 1. Satisfy the gender of girls At the very lea...

Book Recommendation Series 1 - Psychology: Core Concepts

It is no exaggeration to say that if you can persist in reading this book, your understanding of the world will rise to a new level. I have nothing to share after reading: After more than a month, I finally finished reading Zimbardo's book General Psychology intermittently, and took a lot of notes in the middle. Now I try to share with you some psychological skills that I think are practical. Because the original impetus to read this book was to save my terrible memory - I don't understand why human beings claim to have a massive brain of 760 million terabytes, but I can't remember my wife's phone number or even any one The license plate number, and I can't even remember the name and appearance of a friend who has eaten several times. So first of all, what I want to share is the skills of memory: how to remember, how to remember firmly, and how to remember for a long time. I will try to explain all this in the simplest language possible, with as little psychologic...

Are there any things that are especially delicious when boiled directly in water or dipped in some seasoning?

What ingredients are suitable for cooking directly in water? Not all ingredients are suitable for boiling directly in water. Since it is to taste the original taste of the food, it must be "fresh", "sweet" and "sweet" to be more suitable. Among them, seafood and vegetables are the two most common ingredients boiled with water. Seafood, common ingredients include shrimp, snails, cuttlefish, gun barrels, etc. But not all the above seafood can be boiled? of course not. Boiling has very strict requirements on ingredients. Take shrimp as an example. For shrimp, which will start to smell when it dies, live shrimp is needed. The same is true for fish. Therefore, dishes such as boiled shrimp or boiled snails use live ingredients. For cuttlefish and gun barrels, which are difficult to buy live ingredients, it is necessary to ensure that the ingredients are frozen, fresh or freshly caught. If the ingredients are not fresh and then frozen, they must not be used. Ve...

Which nail styles can make fingers white and slender?

Last week, I attended my best friend's wedding, and there was a show that made us laugh out loud. During the ring exchange at the wedding, the ring, stuck, stuck, stuck hahahahaha. Well, the ring got stuck with the rhinestones on the nail art! Before she got married, we advised her not to get rhinestone manicures. The rhinestones in nail salons are charged per piece. Not to mention expensive, it is easy to scratch the wedding dress. Unexpectedly, she ended up doing rhinestone manicure. A woman's heart is as deep as the sea. I don't know if you who are preparing for marriage, when you hear "nail art", do you think of the same way? Today I will give you some super chic nail art inspiration pictures。 1：The most temperament: square round nails. Small and short hands can grow nails, or make some small visual adjustments, such as this small semicircle, and this kind of blank printing, using the proportion of the blank part to make the fingers look more slender visuall...

What are the considerations when choosing a baby stroller?

There are many brands, series, styles, and functions of strollers, and the things you need to consider when choosing a stroller are not at all simpler than choosing a child safety seat. "Three Don'ts + Four Questions" When Buying a Stroller It is customary to put a conclusion first, and then go to the simplified version of the purchase guide, which is summarized as "three don'ts + four questions". "Three nos": One no: don’t buy too low-priced carts Whether you plan to buy a functional or lightweight stroller, it is recommended not to consider too low-priced strollers. Two Nos: Don't be obsessed with high landscape High views are just a gimmick, don't be obsessed with high views, don't be obsessed with high views, don't be obsessed with high views.
