All of our Earrings are either 925 Sterling Silver or Stainless Steel. We will always state in the description what metal they are made from. We wanted a Metal that would be long lasting and affordable. Sterling Silver is ‘Hypoallergenic’ meaning there is a minimal chance of a reaction occurring. 

It is a natural reaction for Jewellery to tarnish over time.

Sterling Silver/ Stainless Steel darkens due to daily wear and exposure to the air. It’s not a fault, it’s a natural occurrence that can happen. 

Water should not harm Silver Sterling/ Stainless Steel metal, however there is a chance that it can induce tarnishing over time.

Water contains different chemicals like chlorine and salt. These chemicals can alter the look of Sterling Silver/ Stainless Steel

So in that case we recommended to remove earrings before showering/swimming or any other reason your ears may come in to contact with water.
