Help My Charm Bracelet Turned My Arm Green

Many charm bracelets turn our arm in green after they are worn several times. This happens especially when we wear cooper bracelets.

Gleaming and red gold cooper bracelets, for example, have been very popular jewelries since the ancient times. Cooper chains and bands can keep the metal rich color once we understand what influence the cooper color and how we can prevent this phenomenon.

Moisture and air are the main factors that make copper change its color. This is a natural process known as oxidation.

Chemical reaction between airborne sulfur, oxygen and copper creates a copper sulfide and a cooper oxide film on the bracelet surface. In time the film is getting thicker and the copper color becomes darker, changing from orange red in black, brown or bluish green. The greenish color of an oxidized copper is also called “patina”.

It is possible your cooper charm bracelet to start changing its color after only a few months of regular exposure to moisture and air. If you wear your bracelet in an environment rich in moisture your bracelet can change its color in only two or three months.

You can prevent this if you coat your bracelet with clear lacquer or nail polish. You can also soak your bracelet in Worcestershire sauce 3-5 minutes.

The same thing can happen with silver charm bracelets, too. They change their color due to the same factors as cooper. The good news is that your bracelet can recover its color very easy. All you need is a soft sponge, a soft silver cleaner, lukewarm water and lint free cloth.

The first thing you have to do is to remove the dust from your bracelets with a dry and soft cloth. Take care to open all the hinges and latches so that to be able to clean all the areas where dust and dirt usually collect. Then dampen a sponge and dip it in silver cleaner and then apply the cleaner on the silver bracelet. Make sure that you clean all the openings of the jewelry edges and design. Repeat the process until your bracelet is clean and you removed all the grime or tarnish. Use lukewarm water to rinse the jewelry, dry it using a lint free cloth and you can enjoy the great color of your silver bracelet again.

Even the gold charm bracelets can change their colors. For example the yellow gold color of your bracelet can change in brown. Gold can oxidize, too especially if it is exposed to different chemical elements. Then time lets its frame on metals, too. Your bracelet will recover its color if you wash it with some soap and then you rinse it with lukewarm water.

If the cooper bracelets can be covered with nail polish or clear lacquer you cannot do the same with your silver or gold charm bracelet. In this case you may expose them less to moisture and air. You should store them in proper jewelry boxes and not let them on your night table or on your makeup table. These jewelries usually come in special boxes made special for sensible jewelries to protect them against harmful factors of the environment.

Both silver and gold contain a certain amount of cooper in it. Depending on the quantity of cooper they have these metals can change their colors or not. The bracelets made from superior silver or gold will not change their color, remaining always brightly and good looking.

But even if your bracelet is made from cooper you don’t have to renounce at it because there are solutions to keep it brightly and nice as long as you wish. Just follow the instructions written above and everything will be perfect.
