My jewellery has tarnished. What can I do?Updated 9 months ago

It is within the nature of gold-plated jewellery to occasionally tarnish. Some perspiration and body oils can be more acidic than others, which can sometimes cause the metal of your jewellery to discolour or oxidise quickly. To avoid this process occurring, we recommend taking your jewellery off while sleeping, exercising, showering, and swimming.

If your jewellery has started to tarnish, it can quite often be alleviated using a jewellery polishing cloth for sterling silver and solid gold pieces and a jewellery cleaning solution for vermeil gold pieces. If you still see no change you may need to take it to a professional jeweller for a clean.

We also have ultrasonic cleaners available in both our store and HQ which can be used (depending on your level of tarnishing).
