Actually, things like perfume, makeup, body lotion and hairs) contain chemicals, alcohol, oil and colors that can react with metals. Due to this reaction, the color of your beautiful jewelry can fly, they can turn black or green and their brightness may fade.
Let us understand in detail what effects the jewels affect:
gold jewelry:
Pure gold (24 carat) does not react to anyone quickly, so it does not usually spoil. But, the gold jewelry we wear daily have reduced purity. Jewelers add a little other inexpensive metals (such as copper, silver or zinc) to gold to make them stronger. These mixed metals have chemical effects of perfume and makeup. outcome? Your gold jewelery may have black or green marks, shine may fade and they can lose their tone.
Silver jewelry:
Silver is the most sensitive, especially if it is sterling silver (which also has copper). Perfume, makeup, lotion and even body sweat can darken it very quickly. The sulfur and moisture present in the air are its enemies. You must have seen, if you wear silver jewelery frequently, then it starts to look green soon.
Platinum jewelry:
Platinum is a very strong and durable metal, which does not change its color quickly. It is mostly saved from chemicals. Nevertheless, fine particles of makeup or perfume can freeze on it, which may reduce its brightness slightly after some time. However, the chlorine present in the swimming pool also does not harm the platinum as much as silver or cheap jewelry, but frequent contact can make the glow.
Artificial or fake jewelry:
Artificial jewelry is worsening quickly. In these, the chemicals present in products like perfume, makeup, hairspros and lotions show their effect with great rapid effect. The color of these jewelry often fly, they turn black, and their top polish or layer starts descending. Once spoiled, it is difficult to fix them again, because they are made of low quality metals and mixture.
So how to safely do your jewels?
The easiest and best way to this is to wait at least 10-15 minutes whenever you makeup, apply perfume, or use hairstyle and lotion. When all these products dry on your skin or clothes, only wear your jewelery. While not wearing jewelery, keep it wrapped in an airtight (aerial) compartment or in a soft cloth of muslin. By doing this, they come down in contact with moisture and air and their brightness remains intact for a long time.
