Does fine jewellery tarnish?
If you’ve noticed that your memi jewellery piece has discolored or suddenly turned black it means that your jewellery has tarnished. Do not panic! It is perfectly normal for real Gold and sterling silver jewellery to tarnish under certain conditions. The good news is that it can be easily reversed.
Here is a guide on what to do if your fine jewellery tarnishes or begins to turn black
What causes jewellery to tarnish?
Fine jewellery made of 9k-18k or sterling silver, will tarnish when exposed to certain conditions in the air, moisture or chemicals. This includes perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents. Occasionally gold or silver jewellery can also react to an individual’s skin acidity.
Tarnishing is only a thin layer on the surface of the metal and it can be easily reversed through proper care and cleaning.
Many people expect costume jewellery or plated jewellery to tarnish because of the poorer quality base metals used in making it. However fine jewellery made of solid gold or sterling silver may also tarnish. Pure Gold and Silver are too soft for everyday jewellery, and therefore small amounts of other metals are mixed to create 9k-18k solid gold or 925 Sterling Silver. The tarnish occurs when the other metals in the 9k-18k gold, or sterling silver are exposed to unwanted conditions or chemicals.

How do I remove tarnish from my jewellery?
The best method to clean tarnished jewels is a DIY home remedy. Our favourite one is to make a small mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Place the jewellery inside a bowl of vinegar and baking soda and let it sit for 2 hours. Rinse off the homemade solution under cold running water and wipe the jewellery with a soft cloth.
Tips to prevent jewellery from tarnishing:
- Store your jewellery in a dry, clean place.
- Minimize your jewellery’s exposure to any make-up, perfume, lotions and hairspray. Take extra care when applying sunscreen and products with harsh chemicals.
- Minimize wearing your jewellery in chlorinated pools
- Avoid wearing your fine jewellery when doing intense physical exercise as well as sleeping
With love and care your Mijuri jewellery is made to last a lifetime.
OUR MATERIALS
We founded GEMYCA on the belief that making fine jewelry doesn’t have to come at the cost of our values, our communities or our planet. We believe true sustainability is about transparently addressing our impacts on the environment and the people in our ecosystem.
For that reason, we strike a balance between recycled and fairly mined materials that support communities dependent on the industry. Traceability is important because it allows us to validate the authenticity of the material and improve the social and environmental impacts of our pieces. As we grow globally and expand our networks, maximizing the transparency and traceability of our supply chain is our ultimate goal.
Precious Metals
14K SOLID GOLD
Solid gold is a precious metal that will not oxidize or discolor. The 14k alloy gives our pieces their beautiful, subtle hue. Our 14k white gold pieces are finished in rhodium plating, which gives them extra shine and durability. 14k solid gold is also an active lifestyle's best friend; it scratches less and doesn't bend or wear out as easily as 18k. All of our 14k gold pieces are stamped with the industry standard “14K” or “585”, except for our Thin Dome Ring, Bold Chain Ring and Thin Chain Ring.
To ensure a positive impact on both the environment and local communities, 70% of our 14k pieces are made with certified recycled gold and 30% with responsibly mined gold. There is no visible difference in the appearance of our 14k solid gold jewelry between recycled and responsibly mined gold.
We work with recycled gold to reduce our environmental impact, and conduct due diligence to ensure that the gold is certified recycled content from scrap or post-consumer sources.
While we aim to prioritize certified recycled gold across our collections, we ensure that any new, responsibly mined gold is traceable to suppliers who are certified against international sustainability standards and best practices such as the Responsible Jewelry Council.
STERLING SILVER
925 Sterling Silver is a lightweight metal made of 92.5% pure silver. It’s highly durable and designed for everyday wear.
