A silver pectoral cross, which is traditionally worn around the neck, is for many people not just a symbol of faith, but a real amulet.
Some people even believe that such decoration can be called a person’s second guardian angel.
For this reason, if you suddenly notice that the metal has turned black, you should take measures as soon as possible to return it to its original state, because a dark coating does not bode well.
To begin with, let's briefly name the reasons that could lead to such a result. Thus, from a scientific point of view, silver can change its shade due to the effect of human sweat, which contains sulfur, as well as under the influence of high humidity or sea water.
Esotericists believe that the darkening of the cross may be associated with damage or the evil eye.
Be that as it may, you only need to perform a few simple steps so that the pectoral cross stops frightening you with its blackness.
First, rinse the item under warm running water, then remove the blackness using a piece of natural fabric and a small amount of toothpaste.
A toothbrush will help you get to hard-to-reach places. After cleaning, wash and dry the cross.
