About Sterling Silver
Sterling silver, a timeless and elegant metal alloy, consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper, to enhance its durability.
However, sterling silver is prone to oxidation when exposed to air and humidity. This oxidation results in the formation of a dark gray or black layer on the surface, commonly referred to as tarnish.
Maintainence
Storage
Store your sterling silver pieces in a cool, dry place. Minimize exposure to air.
Avoiding water
Remove sterling silver jewelry before activities such as bathing, swimming, or any water-related activities.
Avoiding chemical
Various chemical components in products can react with silver, leading to oxidation and discoloration.
Gold Plated - Black
Due to the fact that black gold is coated with a layer of gold plating, prolonged wear or exposure to different external factors may lead to discoloration or darkening. The wear and tear rate of the gold plating varies depending on the usage patterns and environmental conditions. In reality, both yellow gold and white gold may encounter such situations; however, in the case of white gold, the outer plating is white, so if the plating wears off, it exposes the white color, making it less noticeable.
Long Lasting: 1 months
Therefore, for those who appreciate black gold, it is important to be mindful of how jewelry is worn and to avoid scratching it or coming into contact with chemical substances (and it's advisable not to wear it while bathing!). With careful maintenance, the beauty of the jewelry can be preserved.
