pure silver jewellery
I have been wearing a silver necklace for over 15 years now. It has
never tarnished till i started using the new Head & Shoulders intensive care shampoo (Blue bottle). After using it 2 or 3 times, my silver jewelery turned bronze! At first i did not make the connection, however after lots of research, i found that sulphides cause silver to tarnish. On reading the H&S shampoo's ingredients i found that the active ingredient was selenium sulphide...... bingo! So please be advised, before using hair care products, either remove all silver jewelery or avoid products with sulphides. Marisa Cappetta wrote: I use pure silver in some of my cast necklace componants because the pieces are dressy. Since they are not worn often, they are not as susceptable to damage as rings or bracelets and the fine silver tarnishes less and more slowly. I also like the colour. To slow tarnishing, I wrap them in acid free tissue and seal them in a zip-lock baggie. Seems to help. Marisa "m4816k" wrote in message . .. I heard that all problems that are usual with silver (like tarnishing) can be resolved by using pure silver, but that pure silver is very soft and it's not good for jewellery. But then I heard, that softness of silver is not a problem if a piece is substantial enough (a big, heavy chain). Is it true? The alloy companies would like everyone to think that pure gold and pure silver are not suitable for jewelry. Not true. Cheers, Ned |
