“My Jewellery keeps tarnishing” 

Why is your jewellery tarnishing? 

Metals such as nickel, silver and copper tarnish over time due to exposure to air which initiates a chemical reaction leading to the dull appearance of jewellery. 

The tarnishing process is accelerated for jewellery which makes contact with moisture causing a reaction between the metal and water, known as ‘oxidisation’. 

Using everyday products like perfumes and lotions also triggers a chemical reaction causing tarnishing.

Everyone’s skin type has different acidity levels which impacts the extent and speed to which jewellery tarnishes. The higher the acidity levels the faster the tarnishing process. 

How to stop jewellery from tarnishing?

Using a Jewellery Protector is the best method to preserve your jewellery’s shine and prevent tarnishing. When a thin layer is applied to the piece of jewellery, a protective seal is formed. This means that the metals of the jewellery will no longer be directly exposed to external factors, such as moisture or the pH levels of skin. This stops a chemical reaction from taking place, making sure your jewellery remains as good as new and free from tarnish.
