How can I best prevent tarnishing?Updated 9 months ago
Tarnishing is a natural process that can sometimes cause the metal of your jewellery to discolour or oxidise quickly. Some ways we can avoid this from occurring are:
- Utilise the anti-tarnishing tabs you received in your order and store your jewellery in a clean, dry place. This can be a jewellery box with soft lining which will minimise scratches and exposure to other elements.
- Avoid wearing your fine jewellery in chlorinated pools.
- If your jewellery contains any natural gems take extra care to avoid any harsh cleaning products on the stones. Only use a mild detergent or soap and water. Avoid using polishing cloths directly on the gems.
- When wearing your jewellery, minimise exposure to any make-up, hairspray, perfumes and lotions—especially sunscreen and products with chemicals.
- Don’t wear your jewellery when sleeping, exercising, showering or intense physical activity. Even the PH levels in your sweat can cause a reaction with your jewellery, and you’ll also reduce the chance of accidental breakage.
