How does tarnish free jewellery keep it's sparkle?

Isn't it just the worst when that new ring you were so excited about ends up turning your finger green? Thank goodness for tarnish-free jewellery, especially in a world where we're constantly washing our hands and maybe using sanitiser. And let's not forget those pool days during summer holidays abroad.

While solid gold and silver jewellery may be stunning, the price tag can be quite daunting for many. We believe in the beauty of affordable accessories that don't require you to break the bank or remortgage your house. Tarnish-free jewellery lives up to its name, allowing you to wear it in the shower or pool without worrying about stains on your skin.

Curious about what tarnish-free jewellery is made of? Well, at Overdressed uk we use a highly resistant and durable stainless steel, coated through a process called PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition). This method is claimed to be 10 times stronger than others. Unlike the coating on gold or silver-plated jewellery, PVD is life-resistant, making it perfect for those who want to wear their accessories while sweating it out, taking a shower, or enjoying a summer day out or on holiday.

Sure, plated jewellery is tarnish-resistant, but it won't stay that way indefinitely. Even if you can wear a gold-plated necklace in the shower a few times without it losing its shine, it will eventually start to dull. If you're the type who never takes off their jewellery, even for a quick switch, then PVD-coated or stainless steel pieces might be more suitable for you.
