Ancient people attributed to silver the ability to cleanse everything that this material touches. White metal was the personification of pristine undefiled beauty, virginity, purity. Therefore, church attributes were made from it: crosses, salaries, bowls and so on.
Many women prefer silver jewelry, jewelry and costume jewelry made from other materials. But sometimes the surface of your favorite item suddenly darkens. Why the silver ring on the finger turns black, magicians and scientists know. If silver darkens on you, listen to the opinions of both.
The magical properties of silver
A blackened silver ring on a finger invokes alertness. In ancient times, the white noble metal was actively used against witches, vampires and other evil spirits. Nowadays, silver is used to make amulets.
The magical capabilities of silver:
- cleansing the human aura;
- stimulation of spiritual development;
- accumulation of negative influences from the outside;
- absorption and storage of magical effects;
- healing wounds, curing diseases;
- body rejuvenation and strengthening;
- protection from the evil eye, damage, malicious intent of enemies, love spell.
Darkened silver jewelry indicates a problem in a person's aura. This may be a consequence of the evil eye or a nascent disease that does not show any vivid symptoms yet. Silver jewelry also turns black on people who are often angry and in a bad mood.
Silver jewelry has a beneficial effect on the beautiful half of humanity. The effect of silver amulets is activated at night under the moonlight.
Silver – the 'yin' metal resonates with feminine energy, enhances sexual attraction, intuition, the gift of clairvoyance and other paranormal abilities of the wearer of jewelry.
But with the stronger sex, the situation is different. A man must definitely combine white metal with gold jewelry, so as not to become too sensitive and sentimental when wearing silver things.
The main causes of darkening of the metal
If the silver ring darkened, this was always considered a bad omen, a sign that there was trouble next to the person or he was under magical influence. Silver actively absorbs the energy of the surrounding space. And since the metal has darkened, it means that the energy is not favorable.
Folk signs why the silver thing turned black:
- The silver ring on the finger of a young woman or girl has darkened – an indicator of the presence of a 'celibate crown', stable bad luck in love.
- Blackened earrings – a consequence of the evil eye.
- The pectoral cross darkened – the thing took away damage or curse. Often after that, the cross is lost, the chain is torn.
- Silver decor items or cutlery have changed color, dishes are evidence of the presence of evil spirits in the house.
It is believed that when the damage or the evil eye stops, then the metal will brighten. But it is better not to sit back, but to clean the silver and remove the curse.
There is a popular belief that darkened silver is a sign of health problems.
There is some truth in this. The jewelry comes in contact with the skin, which is covered with sweat. While a person is healthy, there is little discharge, copper in the composition of silver oxidizes slowly. But under the influence of hormonal disruptions (for example, during pregnancy or menopause), stress, taking specific medications, the amount and composition of sweat changes, so silver becomes coated faster and even turns black.
Even superstitious people believe that silver darkens due to liver and kidney disease, but scientific confirmation of this hypothesis has not yet been obtained. However, pay attention to which of the jewelry has darkened, and where you usually find it. After that, the correct conclusion can be drawn.
Silver jewelry care
If it was possible to establish the reason for the darkening of silver jewelry, you can start cleaning the thing. There are special chemical compositions for cleaning jewelry.
Silver items are easy to clean at home:
- Rub with regular toothpaste or wet powder.
- Keep it in salt water and not wear it for a while – in this way they do energetic cleaning of the metal from the accumulated negative.
- Soak for 30 minutes in a mixture of baking soda and dish detergent, and then buff with a cloth.
- Apply a solution of ammonia (1 teaspoon per 170 ml of water).
All of the above methods can be used if there are no stones in the product that can be damaged. The proposed methods are not suitable for rhodium-plated metal either.
Modern silver jewelry is rhodium plated. They can be rinsed with warm (not hot) water and then cleaned off with a special jewelry napkin.
If you use a silver item as an amulet, and you feel that its magical properties have weakened, the power of the amulet can be restored. Keep the amulet on the windowsill during the entire waxing moon, starting from the new moon. Then rinse the item in running water, the magic item will again protect you.
Silver jewelry should be treated like jewelry. Do not play sports or dirty work in them. If silver things have turned black, you need to pay attention to your health, undergo a doctor's examination, and reconsider your habits. Believers should visit church, confess, take communion and read more prayers.
