The silver Shimmer uses is 925 - 92.5% silver, the rest is alloy to make the product stronger and easier to work with.
There are many objective causes for silver to tarnish. This is because silver can be oxidized and reacted with sulfur-containing substances. Sulfur is everywhere even in the surrounding air, chemicals found in products that we come into contact with every day such as salt, soap, perfume, etc., and especially from our sweat glands. This is also the main reason that many of you wear silver, the brighter it is, and some of you will get black or yellow due to the sweat absorbed by silver.
With the "flashy" properties of silver, when you use silver jewelry for a while or leave it unused for a long time and do not wipe sweat before storing, it will also cause silver to degrade.
HOW TO PRESERVE SILVER JEWELRY
Method 1: Brighten silver jewelry with toothpaste

HOW TO PRESERVE CRYSTALS
- Avoid contact with chemicals (dishwashing liquid, shampoo, shower gel, ...) that will damage the stone because of changing the structural composition of the stone.
- Place the crystal under regular moonlight, especially during a full or new moon, to allow the stone to regenerate and absorb energy.
- Some types of stones with low hardness should be protected from strong impacts to avoid cracking and breaking.
- Some rocks need to limit exposure to water for too long, which will change the structural composition of the stone (Labradorite, Lapis Lazuli).
