Why Does Jewellery Tarnish in the First Place?

Most jewellery especially silver, brass, copper, and low-quality alloys—reacts with elements in the environment.

The main reasons include:

• Oxidation (reaction with oxygen)
• Sulfur exposure from air and skin
• Sweat and moisture
• Lotions, perfumes & deodorants
• Humidity and water

This reaction forms a dark layer called tarnish, making your necklace look old and dull.

How Anti-Tarnish Jewellery Works

Different brands use different methods, but the goal is the same prevent oxidation.

Here are the most common anti-tarnish technologies:

1. Anti-Tarnish Coating (Transparent Shield)

A clear, invisible coating applied on the jewellery that protects the metal from air and moisture.

2. PVD Coating (Physical Vapor Deposition)

A premium coating 10× stronger than regular plating.
Benefits:

• Scratch-resistant
• Water-resistant
• Lasts years without fading

3. E-Coating (Electrophoretic Coating)

A hypoallergenic, long-lasting protective layer great for sensitive skin.

4. Using Non-Tarnish Metals

Some metals naturally resist tarnishing, such as:

• Stainless steel
• Gold-filled
• Titanium
• Platinum
• High-quality 925 silver with rhodium
