FAQ

Does sterling silver tarnish?

Sterling silver tarnishes when exposed to salty air, chlorine, sulfur, humidity, perspiration, cosmetics, household bleach and other strong chemicals. To prevent tarnish as much as possible, we recommend that you store your fine jewelry in a safe, dry place when engaging in the following activities:
 

• Performing household and outdoor chores
• Showering, bathing or swimming in pools, hot tubs, hot springs and the ocean
• Using lotion, hair products, fragrances and other cosmetics
• Exercising at the gym or during contact sports
• Preparing meals
• Avoid contact with rubber bands or other rubber products. The sulfur in rubber causes tarnishing and corrosion.

Storing sterling silver in a tarnish proof cloth jewelry pouch will help prevent tarnish.
