You spend so much to get those jewelries, and you sunddenly realized they are discoloring after wearing it a couple of time. Truth is, dust, pollution, cosmetics and perfumes all conspire to cloud the brilliance of a gemstone and dull the surface of gold, gold vermeil and sterling silver.
Apart from dust, pollution, and cosmetics, they are three main things that can be avoided that is causing your jewelry to discolor, even on high-quality vermeil jewelry. Because vermeil jewelry, which is sterling silver dipped in gold, succumbs to discoloration more easily than 14k jewelry when it’s exposed to elements. They include:
- Contact with sweat
- Ocean water, and
- Perfume can cause the finish to discolor.
For your jewelry to last long, we recommend you to remove vermeil jewelry before exercising and swimming, and to avoid spraying perfume directly on the jewelry.
