How to clean silver jewelry?

Timeless, stylish and elegant, silver jewelry is the perfect accessory for any look. Ready to give a second life to the most classic piece of jewelry in your wardrobe? It's time to bring back those forgotten pieces from your jewelry box and give them a second life this new season. Here are the tips you need to clean silver jewelry. HOW TO PREVENT YOUR SILVER JEWELRY FROM WEARING OUT Usually, silver jewelry tends to darken due to the passage of time and inadequate conservation. This happens when the jewelry comes in contact with moisture or chemicals.Although silver jewelry can be easily cleaned, proper care can extend its shine and appearance. So, here are some habits you should avoid so that your jewelry wears away as little as possible: Showering or bathing with them. Being in contact with cosmetic products: perfumes, creams, etc. Exercising or doing activities in which you may sweat. Being in direct contact with the sun and humid environments. Although at first glance they may seem easy practices to avoid, the truth is that we do them every day and, sometimes, the last thing we think about is taking off those accessories that we like so much. Jewelry is meant to be worn, so don't be afraid to use it! A simple habit you can add to your routine: when you get home after a long day and get comfortable, take off your silver jewelry and clean it with a cotton disk or a microfibre cloth. This will remove any excess grease that builds up around them and prevent them from getting damaged. Another tip: if your jewelry has already lost its shine and you're wondering how to clean silver jewelry, here are the quickest and easiest ways to get your favorite accessory back to its sparkling appearance. CLEANING SILVER RINGS Throughout the day, our hands come in contact with a multitude of objects and surfaces. This damages our rings, which end up being the silver jewelry that gets the most tarnished. The easiest way to clean silver rings is to use a protective silver plating bath, which prevents discoloration and restores the jewelry to the shiny look you bought it with. How does it work? We'll tell you step by step! Put your rings in a bowl with the silver bath for 10 to 20 seconds (we always recommend following the instructions on the product). Wash them with water and let them dry. Wipe them with a microfibre cloth to gently remove oxidation and dark spots. Although other jewelry may keep their original appearance for a longer period of time, rings are very delicate and lose their color easily. That's why we recommend cleaning them at least once a month to keep them looking extra shiny and sparkling, just like the first day. CLEANING SILVER EARRINGS Due to their small size, earrings are a very delicate accessory when it comes to cleaning them. We would recommend a metal cleaner which is simple to use: Take a small piece of cotton wool and rub the silver to polish it. Once they have regained their original color, remove the remaining product with kitchen paper. Rinse the earrings with soap and water and dry them with a microfibre cloth. As this metal cleaner is corrosive, we recommend that you wear gloves during the process and that your skin does not come into contact with the product. In addition, when cleaning silver earrings it is important to take into account their composition. Also, avoid letting this product come into contact with any ornaments or decorations that your jewelry may have, in order to prevent damage. CLEANING SILVER BRACELETS The quickest and easiest way to clean silver bracelets and get rid of their blackened appearance? All you need is warm water, neutral soap or baking soda and a very soft and delicate brush. Let the jewelry sit in a bowl of water with a few drops of soap for five minutes and, before rinsing, clean every corner of the chain with the brush and dry it with a microfibre cloth so as not to damage it. Accessories are a must in your outfits and their care is essential. Most of our jewelry is made of 925 Sterling Silver and if you take good care of it, it will remain looking perfect for a long time. Remember that silver can always be cleaned, so wear your favorite jewelry to the fullest!

The bikinis chosen by influencers this summer

During the summer season it is a must to see the spectacular bikinis that our favourite fashion Influencers have worn during their dream holidays. Among the best brands of influencer bikinis and women's swimwear, Kalk has stood out, as it has a wide variety of flattering bikinis for all types of women. And although the season is almost over (and many of us already want to bring autumn a big hug) here, we bring you the selection of the best bikinis from Kalk that you've been waiting for. Take note and don't miss out on the favourite bikinis of the Influencers of the moment. And haven't you decided which are your favourites yet? Take a look at this blog. You're just in time to get your hands on them and have your selection ready for next summer before they sell out. Bikini trends according to the influencers Rainbow print in all its versions It's clear to us: our Rainbow print is the winner summer after summer. There's no doubt that the pool and beach season is full of colour and lots of fun. The Rainbow print becomes the star piece wherever you go. We have been able to enjoy this trend very close to Influencers and public figures during their summer getaways. Among them, we find profiles such as the actress María Pedraza, the journalist Cristina Pedroche or the writer Luna Javierre. All of them have shared unrepeatable moments of their holidays on their social networks, while wearing their favourite Kalk bikini with the Rainbow print. No summer without the trendiest colours Another trend that we haven't stopped seeing everywhere is the colour block in vibrant tones. We knew it was going to be strong this season and so it has been. The colours have taken over the season and have won the game. It is very difficult not to go out in the street and see someone wearing clothes or accessories full of colour. They give a total feeling that it's summer. In swimwear it's the same (or more). It's often easier to start taking risks with colours while having a cocktail in a paradisiacal beach bar. In the case of Kalk, we are talking about Royal Pink and Orange. Two colours that you never thought of using and that now you won't be able to stop wearing. As we have seen from the hand of fashion Influencers Tania Ayuso and Estela Grande, these colours enhance our skin tone and are very flattering. The sweetest animal print For several seasons now, the animal print concept has been making a strong comeback in autumn. This year, the print has continued to be seen a lot during the spring accompanied by much more cheerful and vibrant colours. Here's the success story of our Zebra Pinky print bikinis. This one combines two of the summer's super hits: animal print and pink. Who could resist wearing it this summer? It's also a print that looks good on both blondes and brunettes. And that's what tik-tokers Lolalolita and Rebeca Stones have shown us, wearing their favourite combinations of the Zebra Pinky print ideally. The must-have for any summer: the classics that never fail By now we know that not all of us are capable of wearing all kinds of prints and colours. That's why another summer must-have is and always will be the basic tones. More specifically we are talking about the colours black and white. Anyone can join this trend. Whether for style, personality or comfort. These colours are two basic wardrobe essentials that we always turn to when we don't know what to wear, right? Well, when it comes to bikinis and swimming costumes, they are also a lifesaver. We have seen how fashion and lifestyle Influencers Marta Cepeda, Andrea Rueda and Carlota Maranon have joined the Kalk basics, choosing these colours as their favourite choices and combining them with matching sarongs and dresses to give them a more chic touch. Once summer is over... Will you dare to follow this trend in the city? If you are one of those who already knew from the beginning that these bikinis would be the most coveted among the Influencers, or if on the contrary it has surprised you and now you want to get all of them, we hope you have much more clear what will be your selection to elevate this summer with the spectacular bikinis offered by Kalk.

Waterproof Jewellery: the best buy for this summer

Who hasn't forgotten to take off their jewellery before going to the pool? How many times have you wished you could combine your top swimming costume of the season with your favourite jewellery?Girl, we know how it feels. That's why at Kalk we've designed a collection that's perfect for you so you can hit the beach without having to worry. We present you our waterproof jewellery, a waterproof proposal designed to enjoy your summer outfits without limits. How do you know if your jewellery is water resistant? It is usually recommended that, in order to keep our jewellery shiny and like new for as long as possible, we should leave them out when we go to the pool, beach, shower or play sports. There are many factors that can cause them to lose their gold plating or turn an unflattering shade of black. Many of you ask us if silver can get wet. Our recommendation is to avoid taking a dip if your jewellery is silver. This material can lose its colour much sooner due to the chemical reactions it undergoes when in contact with oxygen and salt water or chlorine. In short, stainless steel jewellery is the most resistant to summer days. At Kalk we work our waterproof jewellery with surgical steel to ensure that they are always as good as new. This material resists corrosion, retains its shine and colour and requires little maintenance. Our gold-plated jewellery is made of surgical steel, so it is also visually very attractive. Water resistant necklaces Swimming with a Kalk gold chain and your new swimming costume? A necklace is a piece that dresses up a look. Commonly, we choose designs that represent us in style and form. The most popular necklaces in summer are necklaces with coloured beads. These are very comfortable and water resistant, as they are made of materials that do not darken and are very durable. Do you want our recommendation? Choose necklaces that brighten up all your looks with lots of colour, as summer is the best time to take risks and wear a thousand colours. This Sunny Gold necklace by Kalk, with beads and charms is ideal to enhance your summer tan. Waterproof earrings Probably the thing we like to combine the most are earrings. And although we usually wear the same ones for everyday wear, we are very difficult to take risks for special occasions and events. Are you too? Then you'll understand why we're so lazy to take off our earrings to go to the beach. With these Trilogy earrings gold, you can be the queen of the beach party that your friends organise this summer, and the best thing is: without losing your style. We assure you that you won't go unnoticed, their 3-in-1 earrings design makes them a super versatile option and a sure hit!We remind you that they are our stainless steel earrings, so you can bathe and bathe (and sunbathe) infinite times without worrying about them losing their colour. Water resistant rings Rings are the jewellery that suffer the most from wear and tear and the passage of time. We use our hands for everything and they come into contact with everything we touch. With every new gold plated ring design we take this into account and make them from high quality surgical steel. We have an endless selection of our favourite rings, and these Soul ring gold has become our summer crush. It's clear that big rings are the trend this summer, isn't it? That's right. We couldn't feel more identified: a big ring, with coloured stones, and ideal to complete our coolest and summery looks. Waterproof bracelets As opposed to rings, bracelets are the accessories that tend to stand the test of time the best. It is true that the wrists are not an area that suffers a lot of overexposure, and that favours its maintenance. If bracelets are your favourite accessory, we bring you a selection of the models that are already triumphing in our online shop (so you can get them right now). Here's a tip: bead bracelets are a must in your jewellery box, an irresistible hit!Another trend this summer? More is more. Fill your arm with bracelets and create colourful and timeless combinations that give your arm a personality of its own. You can start with this fuchsia bead bracelet and build up your collection little by little. Have you already fallen in love with waterproof accessories and jewellery? Start enjoying the summer and all the plans that come your way. Now that you know that surgical steel jewellery can get wet, we can't wait to join you.

What types of earring closures are there?

What types of earring closures are there? When we buy earrings or piercings we tend to pay more attention to the jewellery than to the type of clasp it is made of. In many occasions, the earring clasp can be part of the purchase decision in an involuntary way. Do you know the types of clasps that exist? In this blog we are going to explain the types of clasps that you can find and we will help you to select them according to the occasion for which you are looking for them. What are the parts of an earring? Earrings are divided into 2 parts: the front and the back. The front part is the jewel, the design in which we have noticed those earrings that we have fallen in love with and that we want to be part of our collection. There are earrings ranging from small earrings attached to the earlobe to earrings so long that they seem almost infinite. But we will talk about this in another post. The back of the earring is the clasp. In many occasions the type of clasp is given little importance, but as we have mentioned, there are many types of them and we are going to differentiate them to know which one is the right one for each occasion. The different types of earring clasps Depending on the type of earring, the clasp will be one way or another. Some are more comfortable for everyday wear and others are more specific for special occasions. Here is a list of the 8 different types of earring clasps and examples to make it easier for you to identify between them. Butterfly clasp earrings The butterfly clasp is one of the most common type of earrings due to its design and comfort. It is characterised by being accompanied by a nut with a groove through which to pass the stick on the front so that it is closed and secure very easily. This clasp is characteristic of piercings and earrings that are attached to the earlobe, whether short or long, as it exerts pressure so that the two parts are joined together. Flat or screw back earrings Earrings with a screw or flat clasp can be recognised by the fact that, as the name suggests, they end in a thread with a groove to roll the earring along until it is fixed. This type of clasp is perfect for piercings, as they are flat and not uncomfortable to wear on a daily basis, so you can forget about having to take them off to sleep. They are also the perfect clasp for babies and newborns, because the stick, even if it is long, will never rub the ear or get in the way thanks to its flat clasp. Clip or pinch clasp earrings This type of clasp is more commonly found on costume jewellery than on jewellery, as it is more likely to be easily lost when pinching the ear. The design also means that, if you don't have holes, you can wear them with ease. They are usually chosen by women who, due to some setback, have holes that are more torn, and this helps them to visually cover that flaw. Omega clasp earrings The omega clasp is usually found in earrings with pearls or heavy materials, as it helps to keep the ear in place. It is a simple clasp reminiscent of a clip or pinch. They are usually the favourite of older women, so these omega clasp earrings can be found in earrings with more classic and ostentatious designs. Catalan clasp earrings or crossbow earrings The Catalan clasp is one of the most comfortable earrings that we can find in the market. Its closure is very simple. You only have to listen to a "click" while you join both parts of the earring to know that it is secure. This type of clasp is found in hoop earrings, the hinged part fits the back part and ensures that it is hidden in the ring. It is also very easy to close them. Hook or Hippie Clasp Earrings The hook clasp is the most recognised in youth jewellery. It is usually found in the earrings that we buy in summer in a little stall on the beach, hence the name "hippie" or "boho". It is a versatile clasp that makes it extremely easy to put on. Inset or Hidden Clasp Earrings This is one of the most commonly used clasps for hoop earrings. A small bar is inserted at the other end of the earring and allows the earrings to be held in place and makes it very difficult to open and lose them. Roman clasp earrings This is a version of the Hook clasp, but more closed. Its purpose is to provide more security than the first version, making it more difficult for them to fall out of your ears and get lost. Do you already know which is the one that best suits your needs? Now, when you go looking for earrings, you will know the reasons why each one has a type of clasp.
