Jewelry That Doesn't Rust: How to Choose Durable Materials

Jewelry is an investment, both financially and emotionally. That's why it's important to choose jewelry that's made from materials that won't rust over time. In this article, we'll explore what materials to look for when buying jewelry, and how to care for it to ensure it lasts a long time.

Why Some Jewelry Rusts

Rust on jewelry usually occurs when the metal reacts with moisture and oxygen in the air, especially if the jewelry is made of materials like iron or cheaper metal alloys. This reaction can cause the jewelry to lose its luster and begin to corrode over time.

Materials That Don't Rust

To avoid rust, you should choose jewelry made from the following materials:

• Silver: Explore our selection of sterling silver jewelry that is durable and will not rust if cared for properly. Silver can oxidize, but regular polishing will maintain its shine.
• Gold: See our handpicked gold jewelry that does not rust and is often mixed with other metals in alloys. Gold-plated jewelry should have a thick coating to avoid exposure of the underlying metal.
• Platinum: Platinum is an extremely durable and rust-resistant metal, although it is more expensive than other options. Perfect for lasting jewellery.
• Stainless steel: Stainless steel is known for its resistance to rust and corrosion, making it a popular choice for everyday jewelry.

How to Care for Jewelry to Avoid Rust

Even if you choose jewelry made from rust-resistant materials, it is important to take good care of it to prevent wear and tear:

• Storage: Store your jewelry in a dry, cool environment, preferably in an airtight container or bag to minimize exposure to moisture.
• Cleaning: Clean your jewelry regularly with a soft cloth to remove oils and dirt that can cause corrosion over time.
• Avoid Contact with Chemicals: Remove jewelry before using harsh chemicals, such as cleaning products or perfume, which can damage the metal.
