Jewelry is such a precious commodity and many people have pieces handed down to them from beloved family members who are no longer around. The most common heirlooms are pieces of jewelry, which is why people want to protect their items as much as possible. One way to do so is with the use of anti tarnish strips.
Anti tarnish strips are perfect for protecting your favorite pieces of jewelry because they are small enough to go in a ring box or necklace case. These strips are no larger than 1" by 1", making it very easy to put them on top of or around a piece of jewelry and then put that item in its proper box either for transport or when you are done wearing it at night.
Tarnish prevention strips are also economical when you look at all the advantages they offer. These strips will not cost you an arm and a leg as a pack of 100 costs less than $10. The strips make it easy to protect jewelry during transport or when it is being stored. The strips not only protect the jewelry from tarnish, but also from being scratched.
The strips are so safe for use that they will not harm metals or gemstones when they contact them directly. This includes pearls, opals, amber and emeralds. Most anti tarnish strips are also anti-static, which means they can prevent electrostatic discharge from harming your jewelry. This means they are also great for protecting electronics.
The strips are designed to neutralize the gases that cause tarnish on silver and gold. Clean the items prior to storing them and make sure they are dry. Then you can add them to a box or other storage container with the anti tarnish strips. If tarnish has already started on your jewelry, the only way to fix it is to chemically clean the item. A strip will not clean tarnished jewelry, only protect it from developing tarnish.
