All jewelry requires a little care and attention to keep it looking at its best. It is the way metals interact with the environment that may cause a jewelry piece to oxidize(turn colors). It is essential to emphasize that oxidation is not a manufacturing defect. We conduct thorough testing on every jewelry piece to confirm that it meets our standards.
Sulphur and oxygen is the primary cause of gold vermeil/rose gold vermeil/sterling silver jewelry tarnish. Some areas have naturally elevated levels such as areas with high levels of heat & humidity, traffic (exhaust gas) or heavy industry (air pollution).
1. Remove your jewelry when showering (chemicals in your shampoo/conditioner), exercising (your body's salt compounds) and swimming (chlorine is the worst for your jewelry!).
2. Allow perfumes and lotions to dry before wearing.
1) Remove any price tags/labels or tissue paper these can be surprisingly problematic. Some paper emits sulphur, and can also be acidic.
2) Store inside a sealed polyethylene (LDPE) plastic bag. Squeeze out air from inside the bag as possible before it is sealed.
