Earings turned dark?

Question

I have purchased some earings they are like
chandelier ones there is just one problem
after some weeks of wearing 'em for some reason they turned tarnish . before buying 'em some were gold tone and silver with dangling things on em...i just dont understand .
Is there a way i can keep my earings looking brand new....without the tarnish look.

Thanks.

By the way these earings arent cheap ones!!!! its about $10- $15 each!!!!

Answer 1

They faded because they are made if a cheap metal.

Answer 2

if the silver you have there is sterling silver ,sounds like an allergic reaction ,,I know a few people with the same problem their earrings turn dark too, it's something in the jewellery maybe the metal itself that your skin/body doesnt agree with,, you may need to try something different,,if it's goldtone or silver plated that you have they will always eventually turn tarnish there's not much you can do about that, that's why they're cheap, hope I helped!

Answer 3

If your earrings are tarnished then you can clean them with a jewelry cleaner that you spray on, or dip. Either one can work you just have to let it soak for a bit, and then rinse. You can also use a polishing cloth, those usually work instantly, just make sure to wash your hands afterwards because polishing cloths can sometimes live a residue on your hands.

Good luck, they sound like cute earrings!

Answer 4

They could be silver with a jewelers paint. That is how they get that finish on black hills gold.
You may need to buy some jewelry cleaner and dip them in. Be sure to rinse and dry them before wearing them again.
Also store them in a sealed plastic baggie to keep them from being exposed to the air. It helps.

Answer 5

The sell jewelry wipes at or by the jewelry counter at stores like Target, I have found these to work on fashion jewelry and the real stuff. Good luck!

Answer 6

Well you can buy jewelry cleaner and let them soak in there or what I do is use toothpaste. (weird I know...lol) Just put a bit on an old toothbrush or even just use your fingers washcloth anything and it polishes them up in a snap...use really warm water to make sure it is all rinsed off....trust me it works! I do it when it happens to me. Oh and I learned it from my Grandma...lol!

Answer 7

Wow there are some rude people out there. Honey, they are a cheap material so next time just get a better material or get gold, real gold.
