The look of a beautiful piece of jewellery can be quickly ruined, if it is responsible for turning the skin underneath an unsavoury shade of green.
Green skin is a temporary and harmless reaction. It is most often caused by oxidation, after certain metals come into contact with the skin and react to air, sweat, or moisture.
Tips
Avoid wearing jewellery that contains copper, as this could cause the skin to turn green.
Try to remove rings before washing your hands or applying lotions, as this can result in trapped moisture, which in turn activates the oxidation process.
Chlorine and other harsh chemicals can strip off the protective plating on jewellery, and in turn, this can result in the skin turning green.
Jewellery Cleaning
Taking care of your jewellery is crucial to ensuring that it looks its best and retains its good condition. Choosing a method that is both gentle and effective, ensures that your jewellery does not become damaged, gemstones do not loosen, and plating remains intact.
Ultrasonic cleaning is ideal for jewellery. High frequency sound waves are generated within a cleaning solution, allowing the formation of millions of tiny bubbles. These allow for deep but gentle cleaning of jewellery and other pieces, even in hard to reach areas or crevices.
Specialists such as www.hilsonic.co.uk can provide both small and large ultrasonic cleaner appliances, suitable for everything from jewellery to larger car parts.
Taking care of jewellery will ensure that it looks its best, whilst standing the test of time.
