Nowadays, many girls choose silver earrings first when buying them, as they are less likely to cause allergies to the skin. However, the biggest problem with silver jewelry is that it easily turns black after oxidation, especially the needle part of the earrings.

How to deal with the blackening of earring needles

Facial water, cleaning tools, skincare products, and skin secretions all cause chemical reactions to silver jewelry, causing it to turn black. Lipstick or whitening toothpaste can be used to wipe it clean.

Silver jewelry normally oxidizes and turns black, which can be cleaned with professional silver cleaner to look new again. If there is no professional silver cleaner, toothpaste can be used to achieve the same effect.

Reasons for the blackening of earring needles

We often see in ancient drama that silver jewelry is used to test for poison. Especially in ancient times, before the emperor ate food, many eunuchs would use silver jewelry to prick the food. If it turns black, the emperor is usually not allowed to eat it, and the person who made the food is beheaded. Many ancient officials also used needles to test for poison, and generally, ancient poisons are mainly composed of arsenic trioxide. When silver jewelry comes into contact with arsenic trioxide, it will undergo a chemical change and start to turn black.

There are many household chores, often touching some strong alkalis and strong acids. Then, these substances are very likely to undergo oxidation-reduction reactions with silver jewelry, resulting in a change in color. Note that it should not come into contact with liquefied gas or preserved eggs, as it will fade upon contact.
