WILL SILVER TARNISH?
Yes, it does over time. The best way to prevent it is to store your jewelry in an airtight container such as a jewelry box or ziplock bag, and keep it away from moisture & humidity. However, sterling is easy to clean (see below).
WHAT IS GOLD-FILLED?
Unlike gold-plating gold-filled is a thick layer of real gold permanently bonded to an underlying base metal. Under normal wear, gold-filled materials will never peel, flake, or wear and can be treasured for generations.
WHAT IS NATURAL BRONZE?
Bronze is an alloy that consists of approximately 90% copper and 10% tin. Natural Bronze will oxidize over time, turning a darker, more muted color. See below for more info on keeping your jewelry shiny.
