What is the reason why silver turns red?

It is normal for silver bracelets to turn red when worn for a long time. Silver bracelets may turn red due to impurities or sulfide oxidation.

1. The reason why the silver bracelet turns red is mainly caused by improper wearing or storage of the silver bracelet. In the strong oxidation environment, or polluted by strong oxides, the surface of silverware will be oxidized, which is the reason why the silver bracelet turns red. In addition to discoloration, silver bracelets are generally erased, and the professional method is reduction. In addition to discoloration, we should also pay attention to daily maintenance. We can scrub with toothpaste, and we must wash it with clean water, preferably pure water, instead of chlorinated tap water. Tap water containing residual chlorine can easily lead to the formation of silver chloride on the surface of silverware. When silver chloride is decomposed by light, it will still lead to the surface blackening of silverware. Many people's silver bracelets turn black soon after being scrubbed with toothpaste. The possible reason is to scrub with tap water rich in residual chlorine.

Second, what are the taboos for wearing silver bracelets: silver bracelets will turn red, black and even deformed. This is because the silver bracelet is not properly worn and not well maintained in daily life, which leads to these problems. So what are the maintenance of silver bracelets?

1. If the silver bracelet is not worn for a long time, it needs to be sealed and preserved. It can be packed in plastic bags to isolate air and avoid oxidation.

2. Try to avoid contact with water or other irritating liquids. If you want to take a hot spring bath, you need to take off the silver bracelet. You can wear it in the shower, but you must avoid contact with liquids such as detergent, such as hair dye, perming agent and sulfur soap. Because silver bracelets will destroy the luster of the surface if they are touched.

For those silver bracelets with no patterns on the surface, you can gently wipe them with delicate paper towels or cotton cloth. Remember to wipe back and forth in the same direction to avoid leaving scratches on the surface of the silver bracelet. It can be wiped with a professional silver cloth.
