Specifications

How to use: Gently rub the cloth on un-plated sterling silver surfaces to remove tarnish and polish the metal.
Avoid getting the cloth wet or washing it, as this will remove the anti-tarnish treatment.
Over time, the cloth may blacken—this is normal and indicates the tarnish is being removed. Replace the cloth when it begins to tear.
Avoid gemstones, Sparkle products, or other non-metal components.

What is tarnishing?

Tarnishing is a natural chemical reaction that occurs when certain metals, such as sterling silver, are exposed to elements in their environment. This reaction forms a thin layer of corrosion on the surface of the metal, causing it to lose its shine and appear dull or discolored.

What causes tarnishing?

Oxygen and Moisture: Exposure to air and humidity can cause silver to oxidize.
Sulfur Compounds: Contact with sulfur-containing substances (like pollution or certain foods) speeds up tarnishing.
Personal Factors: A person’s natural skin oils, pH levels, and sweat can interact with metals and cause tarnish.
Chemicals: Lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and cleaning products can react with the metal, accelerating tarnishing.
UV Exposure: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can contribute to tarnish.

Can tarnishing be prevented?

Proper Storage: Store jewelry in an airtight container to limit exposure to oxygen and moisture.
Avoid Chemicals: Keep jewelry away from perfumes, lotions, and household cleaners.
Regular Maintenance: Clean and polish jewelry regularly to remove any developing tarnish and restore shine.
Wear Regularly: The natural oils on your skin can help slow down tarnishing on sterling silver by keeping it cleaner.

Does tarnishing damage jewelry?

Tarnish is a surface-level reaction and does not harm the structural integrity of metals like sterling silver. It is easily removable with proper cleaning and care.
