Why does jewelry tarnish?

Jewelry tarnishing is a natural process, which various external influences accelerate:

• Indoor air & oxygen: Chemical reactions cause metals to darken.
  

• Sunlight exposure: UV light alters the material's surface.

• Moisture: Humidity is especially high in the bathroom – a real enemy for jewelry.

• Open storage: Jewelry left unprotected lying around reacts faster with its surroundings.

The solution: With the right storage, you can protect your jewelry long-term.

Properly storing jewelry – this is how you protect your favorite pieces

If you want your jewelry to stay shiny for a long time, follow these tips:

1. Store jewelry in a high-quality jewelry box or jewelry case

A high-quality jewelry box or a jewelry case will reliably protect your necklaces, rings, and earrings from air, light, and moisture.

2. Always keep it closed

Your jewelry box or jewelry case should never be left open – only then are your jewelry pieces truly protected.

3. Do not store jewelry in the bathroom

As convenient as it seems: The bathroom has high humidity, which causes jewelry to tarnish particularly quickly.

4. Avoid sunlight exposure

Do not place your jewelry storage on the windowsill or in direct light. UV rays can further stress the material.

Not every jewelry box offers the same level of protection. Inexpensive models often do not provide sufficient protection. Our jewelry boxes and cases are constructed in such a way that they significantly slow down tarnishing when stored correctly.
