How to Prevent Jewellery from Tarnishing: 5 Easy Tips
by RISIDH ACCESSORIES

Love that brand-new sparkle in your jewellery? We all do! But over time, you might notice your favourite pieces starting to lose their shine or turn dark. This process is called tarnishing, and it's especially common with fashion jewellery and metals like silver or gold-plated accessories.

The good news? With a few easy jewellery care tips, you can prevent tarnish and keep your collection looking stunning for longer.

1. Store Your Jewellery Properly

Exposure to air and moisture is one of the biggest causes of tarnish. Always store your jewellery in a dry, cool place. Use airtight zip-lock bags or soft jewellery pouches to reduce exposure to humidity. Pro tip: place a silica gel packet or a piece of chalk in your storage box to absorb extra moisture.

2. Keep Jewellery Away from Water & Sweat

Before you shower, swim, or hit the gym, take your jewellery off. Water, sweat, and chlorine can cause tarnishing much faster, especially with costume or gold-plated pieces.

3. Apply Skincare & Perfume Before Wearing Jewellery

Skincare products, perfumes, and makeup often contain chemicals that can react with metal finishes. Apply everything before putting on your jewellery, and let it dry completely to protect your pieces.

4. Clean Jewellery Gently and Regularly

A quick wipe-down with a soft microfiber or cotton cloth after each use removes oils and residues that cause tarnish. For deeper cleans, use warm water with mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials or strong cleaners that could damage the finish.

5. Wear Your Jewellery Often

Believe it or not, wearing your jewellery (especially sterling silver) can actually help reduce tarnish! Your natural skin oils create a protective layer that keeps the shine intact.
