How to care for your jewellery and does gold filled jewellery tarnish

JEWELLERY CARE
Avoid water, perfume and chemicals. Store away from heat and direct sunlight. Wood beads and some gemstones are water sensitive.
DOES GOLD FILLED TARNISH?
Many people think that gold and gold filled does not tarnish. This however is not true. Pure gold (24k gold) does not tarnish because it is not alloyed (mixed) with other metals but all other karats of gold are alloyed with other metals and so tarnishing may occur. This is also true of gold filled and sterling silver.
The most common causes of tarnishing are: oxidation, exposure to sulphur, differing body chemistries and exposure to perfume, hairspray, cleaning agents etc. Avoiding these factors and proper storage are the best things you can do to prolong its lifespan.
