What does "tarnish-resistant" really mean?
Tarnish-resistant means your Velani Jewelry won’t discolor easily—but no metal is 100% tarnish-proof unless it’s pure gold. Here’s the difference:
-
Gold-filled jewelry lasts years with care (superior to gold-plated)
-
Sterling silver jewelry may patina slightly over time but can be polished back to brilliance
- Our pieces are safe to wear in water, but avoid chlorine, perfumes, and lotions to prolong lifespan
