Do metal jewelry blacken with use? Does the color change?

Silver (Platinum plated) NO. The color is kept clean and shine. You can wear them in water.

Gold (Gold plated 24k) NO. Gold plating is applied to change the color of the product, making it last even more.

With normal day to day use and in water, even something which is based on gold-plated silver 925, will lose its color after quite some time (several months). This is a natural procedure of the material.

In the final stage we can see the clean silver, shining surface of metal. It can be gold plated again at your own cost. But based on the price of the product and the long life span, we can reassure you that it will have payed off its value.
