Here Home To properly care for your new purchase, we recommend that you take some time to familiarize yourself with some techniques to keep your treasures safe and beautiful. For discoloration of jewelry the most common reason is metallic abrasion, most usually caused by makeup.
Cosmetics can contain compounds harder than the gold jewelry.
They cause scratching and color fluctuations in the metal. Finely divided metals appear black not metallic, if it sticks it will soon form a black smudge that can be very noticeable. Switching to a non abrasive cosmetic line is a good idea for your face and your jewelry, though you might want to remove your jewelry while applying your makeup, skin lotions anything that might leave a film over the gold. Keep your hands clean and your jewelry usually will look cleaner also. As always a gentle jewelers cloth is just the ticket to buff up the shine.
