The Ultimate Guide to Non-Tarnish Jewellery.

The ultimate guide to non-tarnish jewellery.

Tired of buying jewellery that loses its shine? You’re not alone. No one likes their jewellery tarnishing after just a few wears.  Its annoying, frustrating and quite frankly, a big waste of money. But I'm happy to say that those horrid green marks are now  a thing of the past. Non-tarnish Jewellery is changing the game.

What does Non-tarnish jewellery really mean?

Okay. If we look at the basics, tarnishing is the natural reaction that happens when metals like silver or copper come into contact with moisture, chemicals or air. Non-tarnish jewellery, on the other hand, are always made from materials that resist this process. The metals used in non-tarnish jewellery are less reactive which means they maintain their shine, colour and look for years.

The best non-tarnish jewellery materials.

Stainless Steel - This metal, when cared for properly, can last decades. Stainless steel will not rust, tarnish or fade, which makes it perfect for everyday wear.  This metal is not only durable and affordable but it’s virtually indestructible. 

Sterling Silver - When cared for properly, Sterling silver can last for decades, however Sterling silver can tarnish overtime.

Solid Gold - Gold is the ultimate non-tarnish option. It keeps its shine for life, however gold comes with a much higher price tag.

Rhodium -  Rhodium is a member of the platinum family and is often used to coat white gold or silver which can help to add shine and tarnish resistance.

Why make the switch to non-tarnish jewellery?

• Everyday Wear -  Non-tarnish jewellery is sweatproof, waterproof and gym proof which means it’s perfect for busy lifestyles.
