How to care for silver accessories

[Reasons why silver accessories change color]

Sulfurization is the main cause of darkening of silver accessories.
Silver reacts with sulfur in the air to form a silver sulfide film on the surface.
This is why people turn black when they enter a hot spring with their accessories on.
Also, leaving stains such as sweat and sebum on can cause dullness.

It will prevent dullness and darkening if you take care of it after use every day, so please try it.

[Usual care method]

・Wash with lukewarm water <br>Wash away sweat and sebum that cause dullness and darkening.
Plated items can also be prevented from tarnishing this way.
After that, wipe off the moisture with a soft cloth and store it in a zipper bag.

・Polish with silver polish <br>A polishing cloth containing abrasives. You can buy it at accessory shops and 100-yen shops.
Please use it to gently wipe off the dullness of the surface.
If you store it in a bag with a zipper as well, it will stay clean for a long time.
Do not rub the stone too hard as it may damage the stone.
