Naturally, metals will oxidize over time, more commonly when they are sitting around and not being worn. Generally, the more you wear the better it looks.

(The PH of your body can also effect the oxidation of metal!)

The use of lotions, perfumes, or harsh chemicals should be avoided as well as swimming, showering, working out, or doing hard labor with your jewelry on. Storing your jewelry in the bathroom or on a metal jewelry display rack can also tarnish your jewelry more quickly.

To Clean:

If you don’t want to bring your bling to a local jeweler for cleaning, you can wash with cold water and fragrance free dish soap, dry with a soft cloth, and/or use the microfiber polishing cloth that comes with your purchase to polish and shine.

(You can also purchase these jewelry polishing cloths online :)
