Tips to Prevent Your Favorite Jewelry from Tarnishing

Tarnishing is a natural process that occurs when the metal reacts with sulfur or oxygen due to which the object begins to look dull and lifeless.

 

How quickly the pieces tarnish depends on a number of factors - your skin, the way you care for them, the air around and the material used to make them.

 

Metals are very receptive to sulfur, and this reaction results in the dreaded Tarnish. 

 

Knowing how to protect objects from the elements will make all the difference in terms of tarnish removal and how to clean and maintain the jewelry for the future.

 

Read on and we'll try to help you keep your jewelry sparkling and safe no matter what!
