    Hi there! Glad we could've helped a bit 😙 that's interesting that you were able to do this with a stainless steel...we often recommend tin foil as it aids in the electrolytic reaction to transfer the oxidized tarnish to the aluminum foil!

    The abrasives in the mix create micro abrasions in the metal that cause tarnish to come back faster. Polish is a much better option.

    Hi there! Sorry to hear this happened. The probable reason why your gold jewelry turned rose gold is most likely due to a chemical reaction from the oxidization. There is a chance that your gold jewelry may not be pure gold, and therefore can affect the color of the metals (i.e., copper)!

    Yes! You can use this method for pure 24k gold, or even 18k, 14k, or 10k gold, and other metals including silver, sterling silver, etc. All metals will not tarnish equally as the more pure the metal, the more resistant it will be to tarnish. However, we advice to use this cleaning method with caution as it can be too abrasive and we do recommend getting a professional clean & polish whenever possible :)

    Uhh 🙄. Yes, 10k gold can tarnish over time due to the other metals in its composition Yes, 14-karat gold can tarnish, but very little, if any, is expected 18k gold is not pure gold and is susceptible to tarnishing, but it doesn't tarnish easily Pure gold, like 24 karat gold, cannot tarnish Pure (100%) gold, titanium and silver do not tarnish. Metals that can tarnish include copper, brass, bronze, and alloys - that includes any fine jewellery that are less than 24k or 100% pure silver like 9k, 14k, 18k gold or sterling silver. There is common misconception that just because a piece of jewelry is solid gold, that it will not tarnish. Solid gold less than 24k can certainly tarnish, due to the alloy metal that is compounded with the gold component being one that is not corrosion resistant. However, on the other hand 24k gold and pure silver is too soft to wear on a daily basis. 14k gold is the most commonly used gold for jewelry settings. It's composed of 58.3% gold and 41.7% alloy.

    Gold does not tarnish. I am not sure what your jewelry is made of, but it's not gold if it tarnishes.
