Water and Tarnish-Resistant

It is not true to say that Sterling Silver is tarnish-proof. Sterling Silver oxidises naturally. However, with the E-coat method, our pieces are safe to be in casual contact with water (such as shower water) for a certain period of time. Water will eventually oxidise Sterling Silver but it can be easily polished to get back its shininess. Sterling Silver comprises of 7.5% copper. I would not describe them as water & tarnish-proof. It is just the matter of time when the E-coat layer wears off. But again, they can be polished and look like new. 

Chlorinated water (swimming pool water) and salt water (sea water) and other chemicals such as perfume, lotion, hair products, etc. are extremely corrosive to silver. We highly recommend that you take your jewellery off when getting into the shower, the pool or the ocean or get in contact with chemicals (especially with gold plated pieces as they won’t get their colour back). Good news is if they get tarnished, you can polish them using a Silver polishing cloth to get back their shine.
