Pipes rust, costume jewelry discolors and metals like brass and sterling silver tarnish. Tarnished jewelry can easily be polished with a plain cloth to revive its original sheen.

Vermeil jewelry, which is gold plated silver, fades over time, which means that the gold plating loses its luster, revealing the base metal underneath.

Gold filled jewelry and solid gold jewelry does not tarnish at all, but you pay a much higher price for this kind of quality metal. For example, one of our bracelets in solid gold would cost about $2400 not $24. 

​

Jewelry made from stainless steel is fabricated from a high-quality, non-tarnishing metal that is hypoallergenic, lead and nickel free. The 18K Gold plating over silver stainless steel is a of a high micrometer and lasts a long time, especially for the price point. That said, it may fade, revealing silver underneath. But by the time it does, you'll have gotten your money's worth for the piece. 

Yes, you can wear this jewelry to the gym, in the shower, in the pool, in the ocean, and get perfumes and lotions on it and it will last a long time especially for the price point.
