The First Rule of Caring for Silver
Silver darkens, especially when exposed to salty air and products containing sulfur, such as rubber elastics and some papers. However, silver that is used regularly usually requires less care, so Trigho encourages you to use your silver every day.
Trigho silver care
Using a small amount of the silver jewelry cleaner in a soft cloth, gently rub the silver several times. Then rinse well in warm water and dry carefully. This will remove darkening and opacity, keeping its silver beautiful. Note that chlorine and bleach accelerate darkening and should be avoided.
After cleaning and polishing, silver should be kept dry and properly stored.
Special considerations
An oxidized finish is the deliberate darkening of recesses in the ornamentation of a silver object to more clearly highlight its decorative details. Be careful as this finish can be removed with excessive cleaning and polishing.
Trigho Silver Parts Storage
Silver should be kept completely dry. If your silver is used frequently, keep it away from excessive air exposure and store it in a darkening test cloth or a silver storage box.
Good storage boxes are lined with tarnish-proof fabric and have a separate space for each individual item. If your climate is humid, place a small packet of desiccant crystals inside the storage area, whether it’s a closed box or a roll of flannel. Avoid contact with rubber bands or other rubber products, as the sulfur in rubber causes tarnish and corrosion.
Trigho offers silver jewelry polishing services and hollow silver objects made by the brand. If you want your silver to be polished, contact our customer service. We are available to meet your needs.
3.2. Como devo guardar minha prata?
To store your silver properly, it is important to keep it completely dry. If you use your silver frequently, avoid excessive air exposure and store it in a darkening cloth or case or a silver-specific storage box. These boxes are usually coated with darkening tissue and have separate compartments for each individual piece. If the climate of your region is damp, place a small package of desecante crystals within the storage area, either in the closed box or in the flannel roll. Avoid contact of silver with rubber elastics or other rubber products, as the sulfur present in the rubber can cause darkening and corrosion.
3.4. A prata pode oxidar?
Silver can oxidize when exposed to saline air, chlorine, sulfur, moisture, perspiration, cosmetics, domestic bleach and other strong chemicals. To minimize oxidation, it is recommended that you store your jewelry in a safe and dry place when performing the following activities:
– Perform housework and outdoor activities.
– Bathing, swimming in pools, hot tubs, thermal sources and ocean.
– Use lotions, hair products, fragrances and other cosmetics.
– Exercise at the gym or play contact sports.
– Prepare meals.
3.5. Como devo manusear meus produtos de prata com acabamento oxidado?
Oxidized silver is intentionally darkened, creating a black sheen for an antique or faded look. Due to its darkened nature, care instructions for oxidized silver differ from traditional unoxidized silver materials.
You should avoid using a silver polish, as this will remove the oxidized finish from your silver. Instead, we recommend wiping your oxidized silver with a clean, dry cloth to avoid scratching. Clean oxidized silver only when necessary.
