Hand-crafted Amethyst Ring (Rose Gold)
All metals are prone to discoloration over time; however, copper is more vulnerable to tarnish than others due to a chemical reaction called oxidation. When copper jewellery is exposed to oxygen - water, sweat, lotions, and even oils from your own skin - it can begin to corrode and develop a green layer on the metal’s surface known as a patina. The green residue can even rub off on your skin! But don’t worry, it’s nothing that a little soap and water can’t fix.
Tips For Keeping Your Copper Jewellery Tarnish-Free
- Use a lint-free or microfiber cloth to gently wipe your copper jewellery before and after you wear it.
- Keep your copper jewelelry in an airtight plastic container or plastic zip-locked bag.
- Use anti-tarnish storage bags or wrap each piece in a soft cloth.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
- Avoid wearing copper jewellery when swimming.
- Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals like household detergents.
- Clean frequently-worn copper jewelelry at least monthly or more if it begins to dull.
