What is anti tarnish jewellery?
Anti tarnish jewellery resists oxidation, discolouration and skin reactions far longer than ordinary plated pieces. A well made anti tarnish piece holds its colour for one to three years of daily wear instead of a few weeks. It is light, affordable and made for everyday and office wear — the perfect everyday and gifting layer under ZIA's real 925 silver.
Is anti tarnish jewellery waterproof? Does it turn black?
Good anti tarnish jewellery is water resistant for everyday splashes and does not blacken the way ordinary imitation jewellery does. That colour fast, water resistant quality is exactly why buyers search for waterproof jewellery in Nagpur. It still is not meant for the swimming pool or the shower. Wipe it dry after wear, keep it in the pouch ZIA gives with every piece, and it holds its shine for one to three years of daily use. If you want a piece that never changes at all, choose real 925 sterling silver instead.
