Why shouldn't jewelry be worn into a laboratory?

could cause chemical reaction


Why is silver and gold is used to make jewelry?

Because on the periodic table of elements, silver and gold are among the least reactive elements. That means that they are precious and people with serious allergic reaction to jewelry made out of cheap metals like stainless steal can wear them. Since silver and gold are in limited quantities, they are considered precious metals. The fact that they cause least irritation to the skin when worn makes them the best candidates for jewelry options. This makes the silver and gold jewelry expensive, although sterling silver jewelry is much cheaper and affordable than 14K, 18K, and 22K gold.


Is nickel in jewelry bad for you?

Nickel in jewelry (or in coins) is not bad for you as long as you are wearing the jewelry (or spending the coins) rather than eating it. It is quite common for people to have nickel allergies, which is why it's use in jewellery is controversial. (However it is quite cheap, which is why it is frequently used). If the jewellery makes your itch, or turns the skin slighlty green where it is being worn, stop wearing it.


Best way to clean silver?

The answer really depends on what type of silver that you are asking about. Silver rings and jewelry will almost never need cleaning other than a basic ultrasonic cleaning if it is worn every day. Sterling silver jewelry that is worn often will never tarnish. However, if the jewelry tarnishes it can be polished using a silver polishing cloth that can be purchased at almost any grocery or department store. After polishing the items place them in a bowl of windex and then rinse them under warm water. Please note that nothing can replace the type of cleaning that you would receive when taking the items to a professional jeweler. When doing this, a jeweler can use a polishing wheel with jeweler's rouge to remove all the scratches while making the jewelry look brand new.
