Does Sterling Silver Tarnish? Everything You Need to Know

One of the most common questions we hear is, "Will my silver jewellery stay looking beautiful?"

It's a fair question. When you're choosing a new piece of jewellery, you want to know it will look just as good after months of wear as it did when you first fell in love with it.

Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time when exposed to air, moisture and everyday products. However, not all silver jewellery is created equal.

At Clemence Wren, our sterling silver jewellery is finished with rhodium plating—a precious metal prized for its brilliant shine and protective qualities. Rhodium helps create a barrier over the silver, reducing the effects of tarnishing while enhancing the jewellery's bright, polished appearance.

The result is jewellery that stays looking fresher and brighter for longer, with less maintenance required. For women juggling work, family, travel and social commitments, that's one less thing to think about.

Rhodium plating also adds durability, helping protect against everyday wear and preserving the beautiful finish of your favourite pieces. Whether it's a pair of earrings you reach for every morning or a necklace that completes an outfit, you can enjoy wearing your jewellery with confidence.
