Basic
Jewelry Care:
**Remove Jewelry During Tasks – When performing
manual tasks, remove your jewelry to prevent physical damage or exposure to
chemicals or cleaning fluids. Some tasks that should be avoided when wearing
jewelry include kitchen work, gardening, cleaning the house and other common
tasks.
**Put Jewelry On After Applying Makeup –
Cosmetics, hairspray, perfumes and lotion can contain chemicals that can often
damage jewelry. Putting jewelry on after applying these materials will limit
exposure to jewelry and any potential damage.
**Don't Wear Jewelry In Swimming Pools and Spas
– Chlorinated water can react with the metals found in jewelry causing color
changes and even structural damage. As a result, it's a good idea to remove
jewelry before entering the pool or spa.
For your
reference, how to avoid green finger?
Keep the Area Dry: if you wear rings over skin that is damp or wet, you increase the likelihood of ending up with a noticeable green tint. Be mindful and remove your rings before washing your hands or taking a shower. Try to allow lotions and other body products to absorb into your skin before putting your rings on, as well. There are chemicals in beauty and cleaning products which prompt oxidation and will accelerate the deterioration of your rings. Don’t forget: If you are going to swim in a pool, make sure you take your rings off. The chlorine will cause your fingers to turn green and damage your rings permanently.
Use Clear
Nail Polish: one simple and practical method to avoid green fingers is to coat
the inside of your sterling silver rings with clear nail polish. Here’s how:
*Paint
the inside of your rings with clear nail polish. You can apply nail polish to
any part of the ring that touches your finger.
*Leave
your painted ring on a flat surface to dry for at least 20 minutes, or until
the nail polish is completely dry.
*Wear
your ring!
*Apply
the clear nail polish as needed.
*It’s
important to note that matte rings will be given an added shine using this
method.
