How to clean a Pandora bracelet

One of the popular branded jewelry of modern fashionistas is Pandora bracelets. Its modular design allows you to create your own, unique accessory. By purchasing the base and selecting other elements, the owner of the bracelet thereby demonstrates her taste and individual style, expresses her attitude to life, talks about her hobbies, etc.

The base of the decoration and modules can be made of different materials - gold, silver, leather, fabric. It is important to properly store, wear and care for your bracelet so that it will delight you with its appearance for a long time and add style and attractiveness to your look.

Why do Pandora bracelets darken, can this be avoided?

Silver requires the most “serious” cleaning measures. Although it has high strength and bright shine, over time it can undergo oxidation and darkening due to various chemical reactions. It is worth understanding that these processes are natural - they cannot be considered a sign of a manufacturing defect, low quality jewelry or counterfeit. The speed and degree of darkening depends on a number of conditions. Heat, high humidity, contact with air, cosmetics and household chemicals - these are the main parameters that accelerate color change.

To ensure that the bracelet retains its original appearance for as long as possible, you should remove it before visiting the pool or training. When using various cosmetics and perfumes, you must wait until they are absorbed and only then put on the jewelry.

It is necessary to store the bracelet in a separate compartment of the box or a special bag - this way you can protect it from damage when it comes into contact with other jewelry and temporarily limit its contact with air. It is worth keeping in mind that branded gift packaging is not intended for long-term storage - it is not airtight, and therefore will not be able to protect the products from tarnishing.

Reference. Original Pandora silver jewelry is blackened during the manufacturing process. This technology imparts special beauty and sophistication, artificially “aging” them. Blackened silver is more valuable than usual; jewelry made from it is more expensive and attracts with its unusual “vintage” appearance.

How to clean a Pandora bracelet effectively and without harm

Experts do not recommend cleaning jewelry at home, and if you still decide to do this, then you should choose contactless methods. One of the most effective and safest is placing it in a soda solution.

Reference. You cannot mechanically clean jewelry with soda - no matter how small its particles are, they can scratch it if they come into contact with silver. Toothpaste is also unsafe for processing jewelry.

In addition to soda, you will need food foil and boiling water. Process steps:

• a small container is lined with foil;
• soda is poured onto it;
• decoration is placed on top of the cleaning substance;
• it is additionally covered with soda on top;
• the container is filled with boiling water;
• the decoration is kept in the soda solution for 10 minutes;
• cleaning is completed by rinsing the bracelet and charms under running cool water.

Placing a silver item in a warm soapy solution for 10 minutes will remove light stains and will not cause harm.

Reference. PANDORA stores sell special jewelry care kits and offer professional cleaning services. Regular polishing with the included cloth will help prevent severe contamination and darkening of the metal. This cleaning method can be used for all Pandora products.

You cannot use strong anti-tarnish solutions to clean silver - they will remove the blackening, depriving the bracelet and charms of their unique features.

When using Pandora bracelets and other accessories in your look, follow a simple rule - put them on last in the morning (after completing all water and cosmetic procedures), and take them off first in the evening. This way you will preserve their original appearance longer.
