Metal trinkets add modernity and sophistication to your look. They can be worn with multiple outfits, and work for almost every occasion, be it a causal brunch or a fancy dinner date.
But imagine you have a big night planned and you reach for your favorite pair of minimalist metal earnings, only to find that they’re tarnished. It would break your heart and ruin your night. To stop that from happening, take a look at some of these tips to care for your beloved metal trinkets.
Use an airtight container to store themIf basic chemistry taught us anything, it’s that metal rusts when it reacts with air. The best way to keep trinkets looking brand new is to place them in an airtight container—like a trinket box or a Ziploc bag—when you’re not wearing it.
One should also keep these trinkets away from water because any contact with water can lead to tarnishing over time.
Use vinegar to get rid of tarnishThe best part about using vinegar is that it works effectively to rid your metal trinkets of tarnish which dulls its shine, and it’s readily available at every house. Cleaning copper and brass jewelry with vinegar is a good idea.
You can soak the trinket in vinegar for a few seconds and lather it gently with dish washing soap before using a soft cloth to wipe the solution away. Use a blow dryer to dry the piece immediately and watch the little thing shine.
Don’t keep the trinkets on wood surfaces for longAs confusing as this might sound, placing your metal trinket on wood surfaces can dull their shine over time. This is because wood surfaces have chemicals, especially in oak surfaces which can mar the surface of the metal. That’s why it’s always best to store the trinkets in an airtight container that is kept away from heat and water.
Don’t use baking soda or toothpasteWhile these methods have been used to clean metal trinkets in the past, they can also harm the surface of the metal. This is because if you fiercely rub the metal with toothpaste or baking soda, small pieces of the surface get scrapped off very easily. As such, this further increases the risk of tarnishing.
If you’re looking for a way to store your metal trinkets browse through Jamagrasha‘s collection of trinket boxes and pick your favorite! You can also shop from our exquisite collection of keychains and brooches
