Anti tarnish jewellery is designed to stay bright and beautiful for a long time, but a little care goes a long way. At Niyansa, every piece is made with 18K gold PVD plating over 316L stainless steel, which is what gives our jewellery its waterproof and anti tarnish finish. Here is how to keep your favourite pieces looking new for years.
What makes jewellery tarnish in the first place
Tarnish happens when metal reacts with air, moisture, sweat and everyday chemicals like perfume and lotion. Cheaper jewellery tarnishes quickly because the plating is thin and wears off fast. Our demi fine pieces use a thick PVD coating over surgical grade steel, so they resist tarnish far better than standard gold plated jewellery. That said, good habits still help your pieces last longer.
Daily habits that protect your jewellery
Put your jewellery on last, after your skincare, perfume and hair products have dried. This keeps oils and sprays off the surface. While our jewellery is waterproof and safe for daily wear, wiping it with a soft dry cloth after a long day removes sweat and keeps the shine fresh. You do not need to remove Niyansa pieces for a quick shower or a workout, which is exactly why they are made for everyday wear.
How to store anti tarnish jewellery
Store each piece in a dry pouch or a lined box, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Keeping items separate stops chains from tangling and stops harder stones from scratching softer surfaces. A simple dry drawer works well for most people.
Why hypoallergenic matters for sensitive skin
Because our jewellery is hypoallergenic and nickel free, it is a safe choice for sensitive skin and sensitive ears. You get the look of fine gold without the irritation, and without the worry of tarnish or green marks. That combination of comfort and durability is what makes demi fine jewellery such a smart everyday investment.
