Jewelry care precautions
Cleaning jewelry with toothpaste?
There is a saying in jewelry circles that cleaning with toothpaste on a toothbrush will make jewelry look shiny and new. Cleaning jewelry is desirable, but using toothpaste is not ideal because toothpaste contains microscopic, highly abrasive granular substances of high hardness, which are very fine but have a hardness of six or seven degrees (almost the same as crystal).
Therefore, cleaning jewelry with toothpaste can damage the surface of stones that are less hard than crystal, especially pearls, gold and karat gold; pearls are absolutely avoided, and the most correct washing solution should be a diluted neutral active agent (e.g. salad detergent, baby shampoo). Occasionally, toothpaste can be used to clean silver jewelry when the surface is oxidized.
How often do you touch diamonds, tourmalines, etc.?
These jewels should be worn on the body is dazzling, but daily wear is not easy to maintain, many people see the diamond beautiful and charming, can not help but use their hands to touch its surface, this practice will actually affect the diamond luster and brightness.
The human body excretes sweat and oil on the surface of the skin from time to time, and the hands are the easiest part of the body to touch, so the oil on the skin is often stained on the surface of the hands, and when touching these stones with the hands, the oil on the hands will easily stay on them, affecting the luster and brightness of the stones. Diamonds, in particular, are oleophilic and are prone to oil contamination, which greatly affects their luster. However, jadeite and other nephrite stones belong to the aggregate structure, and touching them often makes the jade more moist and lovely.
