What does anti-tarnish mean?
Anti-tarnish jewellery uses materials and finishes that resist the darkening caused by air, moisture and sweat. It isn't indestructible: chemicals, salt water and friction still wear the surface over time. Good care keeps that finish looking new.
8 simple habits
Put jewellery on after perfume, lotion and make-up, and take it off before you shower or sleep.
Perfume contains alcohol and oils that can dull the finish. Let it dry before putting on a necklace.
Chlorine and salt water are tough on finishes. Take pieces off before swimming.
Sweat and knocks both wear jewellery down.
A soft, dry cloth removes sweat and oils before they settle.
Use lukewarm water with a little mild soap, rinse and pat completely dry. No abrasive cloths or harsh cleaners.
Humidity speeds up tarnish. Keep pieces in a closed box or pouch, ideally with a small silica gel sachet, and not in the bathroom.
Store necklaces separately so chains don't tangle or scratch each other.
