Silver, the chemical name Ag, is a relatively active metal. The sulfur and oxides in air and other natural media have a certain corrosive effect on silver, because the oxidized silver oxide and silver sulfide are black. Therefore, after the silver jewelry is placed or worn for a period of time, some tiny black spots (silver oxide) or black film (silver sulfide film) will appear, and the time is long. With the spread of black spots and black films, silver jewelry It slowly changes color, and even becomes black.

Compared with the physical method, the chemical method is relatively simple, and the silver jewelry is not left on the silver jewelry. Traces are more suitable for our use in everyday life.
