How to Care for Anti-Tarnish Jewellery: Tips for Long-Lasting Shine
Anti-tarnish jewellery has changed the way we wear and love our accessories. It’s durable, low-maintenance, and designed to withstand the elements—but like every treasured piece, it still deserves some care.
Here’s how to care for anti tarnish jewellery, so you can keep it looking radiant for years to come.
Understand What Makes Anti-Tarnish Jewellery Special
Unlike traditional jewellery, anti-tarnish pieces are coated with special protective layers that resist dulling, discolouration, and corrosion. Many pieces, like ours at IVARA Jewels, are also waterproof and hypoallergenic, making them perfect for everyday wear—even through workouts, showers, and sweaty summer days.
But even the best jewellery benefits from mindful care.
1. Keep It Clean — The Simple Way
Thanks to its protective finish, anti-tarnish jewellery doesn’t need harsh chemicals or polishing cloths. Instead, try this easy routine:
- Rinse with lukewarm water and mild soap
- Gently pat dry with a soft cloth
- Avoid scrubbing or rough handling
This keeps your jewellery free from everyday build-up like lotions, perfumes, or dust.
2. Store It Right
Even anti-tarnish jewellery deserves its own space. Store your pieces:
- In individual pouches (like our IVARA velvet pouches that come with every Luxe purchase!)
- Separate from sharp or abrasive items
- Away from direct sunlight and humidity
This prevents accidental scratches and keeps their shine intact.
3. Avoid Unnecessary Chemicals
While anti-tarnish jewellery can handle most daily situations, it’s best to avoid:
- Harsh cleaning products
- Skincare actives
- Direct sprays of perfumes or hair sprays
These chemicals can reduce the longevity of the protective layer over time.
4. Embrace Everyday Wear (That’s What It’s Made For!)
One of the best things about waterproof and anti-tarnish jewellery? It’s meant to be lived in.
At IVARA Jewels, we design our pieces for daily wear—whether you’re heading to brunch, beach holidays, or just your morning coffee run. You don’t have to constantly take them off, but with these simple habits, they’ll stay just as luminous as the day you bought them.
