If you've shopped for imitation jewellery recently, you've probably come across the term "anti-tarnish." But what does it actually mean, and why should it influence your buying decision?
What Causes Tarnishing?
Regular plated jewellery reacts with air, moisture, and skin oils over time, causing the surface to dull, discolour, or develop a greenish tint — especially in humid climates.
How Anti-Tarnish Plating Helps
Anti-tarnish pieces go through an additional protective coating process that creates a barrier between the base metal and the elements. This significantly slows down the discoloration process, keeping pieces brighter for longer with normal care.
Is It Completely Tarnish-Proof?
No plating is 100% permanent forever — but anti-tarnish pieces are built to resist it far better than standard plating, especially when paired with good storage habits.
When you see the "Anti Tarnish" tag on a Rivaaj Jewels piece, you're getting jewellery designed to hold its shine through daily wear, not just for a season.
