5 thoughts on “How does gold shine? How to maintain it?”

  1. If there is a black silver film on the surface, use 2G of salt, 7g of baking soda, 8g of bleaching powder and 60ml of water to prepare a "gold ware cleaner". Put the gold jewelry in a bowl and pour the cleaner. After 2 hours, take out the gold jewelry, rinse it with water (preferably not hard water), bury it in wood chips and dry it, and then wipe it with a soft cloth

    to protect the luster of gold jewelry, you can apply a thin layer of nail polish on it. For the ring with gems, roll a piece of cotton with a popsicle or matchstick. After wetting it in the mixture of toilet water and glycerin, scrub the gems and their frames, and then polish the ring with a flannel cloth. Never scrape with sharp objects such as blades

    identify adulteration

    1. Whether gold has white bright spots

    cut gold bars or gold jewelry with a material scissors, and observe its section with a magnifying glass. If there are white bright spots, because gold and iridium cannot be fused together, it indicates that iridium is mixed in the gold

    2. Measure the specific gravity

    first measure the weight of a piece of pure gold bar with a balance, then put the gold bar into a measuring cup, and pour water to submerge the gold bar. Then put the detected gold bar into the measuring cup and observe whether the scale of the water rises or falls. If there is any change, it means that the gold bar is not pure gold. But if it is gold jewelry, this method is not applicable because there is air inside the gold jewelry

    3. Real gold is not afraid of fire

    put the gold bar or gold jewelry on the fire for a while to observe its change. Because iridium will combine with oxygen in the air to produce oxidation reaction, gold bars with insufficient purity will turn gray; And pure gold will be bright red after baking. However, this method may cause some damage to jewelry

    1. Pure chemical substances will change the color of gold, so gold jewelry should be removed before cleaning

    2. Avoid direct contact with volatile substances, such as perfume and hair gel, otherwise it will easily lead to the fading of gold ornaments

    3. Take off the gold ornaments when swimming to avoid chemical changes on the surface after contacting the seawater or pool water

    4. Wrap it with flannelette before putting it into the jewelry box to avoid mutual friction and damage

    5. Gold is relatively soft and easy to deform, so do not pull necklaces and other accessories to avoid deformation

    6. Pure gold jewelry will produce chemical reaction and white spots when contacting mercury. After cleaning, they can recover their original color as long as they are baked under an alcohol lamp for a period of time

    7. After wearing gold ornaments, they often lose luster due to dirt and dust pollution. At this time, as long as the gold ornaments are soaked and cleaned in warm water in neutral detergent, and then taken out to dry

    extended data:

    identification method

    gold jewelry is divided into 24K (more than 99% gold content), 22K (91.7% gold content), 18K (75% gold content), 14K (58.33% gold content), 12K (50% gold content), etc

    when buying gold jewelry, you can identify it from the following aspects:

    distinguish color

    as the saying goes, gold is "seven green, eight yellow, nine purple and ten red". Experts believe that 70% of the jewelry containing gold is yellow with blue, 80% of the gold is yellow, 90% of the gold is yellow with purple, and 100% of the gold is red. Pure gold is softer and generally not used for inlaid jewelry. Therefore, any inlaid gold jewelry claiming to be 24K must be fraudulent

    weight

    the specific gravity of gold is 19.3 g / cubic centimeter, and the fineness is closely related to the specific gravity. When the specific gravity is close to 19.3, the higher the pure gold content. When the specific gravity is 18.5, the gold content is 95%, and when the specific gravity is 17.8, the gold content is 90%, and so on. As long as the specific gravity is measured, the fineness of jewelry can be known. But most people can feel a sense of precipitation

    see sound and rhyme

    when high-quality jewelry is thrown on the concrete floor, there will be a dull clatter. It has sound but no rhyme and no strength. It is commonly known as "dead sound". On the contrary, the gold ornaments of low quality, thrown on the concrete floor, have a rhyme and a sharp sound, and have a slight bounce

    try to be soft and hard

    the higher the fineness of gold jewelry, the softer and more inelastic it is. The real gold will have light marks when it is bitten by teeth or scratched by needles, and there will be no broken lines when it is folded by hand, and it will not change color after burning (not at extremely high temperature). The opposite is true for the low-quality and fake ones

    extended data

    "A small number of gold 'discoloration' phenomenon is due to the formation of white alloy attachments on the gold surface after the gold ornaments contact with mercury or chlorine and other chemical elements in human sweat or skin care products, which will be mistaken for the 'discoloration' of gold.

    for 'rusting', it is due to the contact of gold ornaments with iron elements in the air or life, and the formation of red attachments on the gold surface after iron oxidation, Thus, consumers mistakenly think that gold is "rusty."

    in addition, as a kind of metal, the micropores on the surface of gold itself (which can be observed through a high-power magnifying glass) and the treatment of modern gold jewelry surface manufacturing technology will increase the possibility of fine particles adhering. "
