My sterling silver charm turning copper colourish...?

Question

i think i cleaned it a little toooo much. it looks like copper more than silver and it says 925. its expensive, it holds a jade gemstone. How can i fix this or prevent it from getting worse?

Answer 1

well i was gonna say it could be dirty so clean it with silver cleaner.

but if you did already clean it and you cleaned it correctly then what could be happening is that it may be silver plated. so the main piece of jewerly is copper and the is covered in silver.

if thats the case i dont know what to tell you.

sorry ):

Answer 2

its either not real silver or its starting to become tarnished. in order to fix this put it in a plastic bag when you are not wearing it as the air can make it worse :) also next time you want it cleaned take it to a jewler, its not very expensive and will keep it safe :)

Answer 3

Sweetie that must not be real silver lol

Answer 4

You should get it replated becos it sounds like what you bought was juz normal plated jewelry and that plating is coming off. Then after that, keep it in a box or a cloth pouch when you're not wearing it. Silver tends to change colour more easily, so if you dun wan2 deal with this again, try rhodium plated jewelry nxt time.
