Tarnish-Free Jewelry

Styles selected for lower-maintenance everyday wear. Base metals, finishes, stones, and care vary within this collection, and no plated finish is promised to remain visually unchanged. Check the product page for the construction and care of a specific piece. Read how tarnish and finish wear differ.

Why stainless steel doesn't tarnish

Tarnish is a reaction between metal and air, moisture, or skin. Sterling silver tarnishes because it reacts; brass and copper turn skin green for the same reason. 316L stainless steel forms a stable, self-healing surface layer that simply doesn't react that way, so there's nothing to polish off. The full explanation of why stainless steel resists tarnish covers the metallurgy in plain terms.

It won't turn your skin green — or rust

A style whose product page lists 316L stainless steel has a different corrosion profile from a style with another base metal. Because construction varies, there is no collection-wide skin-discoloration, sensitivity, or rust promise. We address green skin and rust in more detail.

Common questions

Does it need care? Follow the product page; base metals, finishes, and stones require different cleaning. Will the gold tone fade? Any plated finish can change with wear. Eligible gold-plated stainless-steel styles display the lifetime color tier, while other plated styles display one-year coverage when it applies. Terms apply. Is it water-safe? Only when the specific product page says so.
