This metal darkens

Sterling silver tarnishes. It is a reaction with air, not a fault. A polishing cloth brings it back.

About this piece

The face is chemically oxidised to a deep charcoal and then the raised edges are polished back to bright silver. It is the same reaction that tarnish causes, applied deliberately and evenly.

What we would tell you before you buy

The dark layer is surface deep. It will lighten where the ring rubs, and over a year or two it will read as a worn finish rather than a black one. That is wear, not a fault.

Your rights on this order

You can report a fault for three years from delivery. For the first two years, if something is wrong, we have to show it wasn't faulty when you got it. Not the other way round.

You have fourteen days to change your mind, counted from the day after your parcel arrives. You do not have to give a reason. This piece is not sealed, so that right applies in full.

If we say no to your claim and you disagree, you can take it to Allmänna reklamationsnämnden (ARN). It is free for you, and we will follow their recommendation.

Not sure this is the right metal?

Metal Match asks three questions about what you have worn before. It does not ask about your health, and it cannot tell you what you react to.
