The ancients said that wearing silver, healthy and wealthy will accompany. Silver ornaments have always been loved by everyone. But there are also many problems that have plagued countless people. For example, “Why is her silver jewelry getting more and more bright, but more I wear it, the more black I am?” “Do I sick because silver jewelry turns black?” In the gold and silver jewelry store, there are also clerk who tells the customer that the more the silver jewelry shines, the more your body better. Let’s solve this series of problems from the root cause. First of all, you have to know why the silver will turn black? In everyday wear, the following are common causes of blackening of silver:

  Silver is naturally oxidized in the air to form silver oxide, which is brown or grayish black. Or, if the ambient air quality in our environment is not good, it will contain some acid gases such as hydrogen sulfide, and the silver will react with the sulfur in the air to produce silver sulfide.

  The body’s sweat contains sulfur, but each person’s physical condition is different, so everyone wearing silver will have different results. Some people have higher levels of acid and sulfur in their body fluids, which can cause the surface of the silver to darken. People with weak acidity do not raise silver, and silver is prone to blackening.

  If the items that are normally in contact with acid and sulfur are relatively high, it will also cause the silver necklace photo to become black. For example, smoking all year round, spraying perfume, making heavy makeup, often using sulfur soap, and like to bathe hot springs will affect the color of silver jewelry.

  Silver and gold can not be worn together, which will cause the silver to turn yellow and lose its luster. The silverware purchased is insufficient in silver and contains many other metallic elements. These easily oxidizable metals are easily oxidized with air to darken them.

  Know the above principle, is there any relationship between silver blackening and illness? Let us first look at the reports of biological research. When our body is immune, muscles produce more hydrogen sulfide gas. When we are sick, our immune system will have a lot of immune reactions in order to protect our body. It will produce more hydrogen sulfide gas, which will make the silverware black. Therefore, people who are often sick, silver ornaments may be more likely to turn black. However, the silver is black, and there is no absolute relationship with illness. Citing the words of the attending physician of the Jiangxi Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine: “The wearing of silver cheap personalized jewelry is black, and it is related to personal physique. There is no absolute relationship with health.”

  Under normal circumstances, when silver jewelry is worn for about half a year, the surface will naturally oxidize, the color will become dull and tarnished, and almost all silver ornaments will not be avoided. Therefore, you can’t judge your physical condition according to whether the silverware is black or not. The best way is to go to the hospital for examination.

 The first is less sweating, the body’s secretion of acid, sulfur and other content is relatively small. Then, in the daily wearing process, silver ornaments often have unintentional friction with the human body. The behavior of dithering jewelry is equivalent to polishing the silverware in disguise, and the black oxide film on the surface is slowly removed.

 There are 925 silver and pure silver on the market, plus some silver jewelry with ethnic characteristics. There are many categories. The silver content is 925‰ the imprint is S925 or Ag925, the hardness is moderate, and the chemical properties are relatively stable.

Among them, silver with a silver content of 999.9‰, is currently the highest purity of silver personalized birthstone necklace.
