At SHEUG, we often hear from customers concerned about their Pandora jewelry changing color. If your beloved Pandora bracelet has turned black, don't panic - we're here to explain why this happens and how to restore its original shine.
Understanding Why Pandora Jewelry Darkens
-
The Science Behind the Tarnish
- 925 Sterling Silver (used in most Pandora bracelets) naturally reacts with sulfur in the air
- This creates silver sulfide - the black coating you see
- It's a natural process, not a defect in your Pandora jewelry
-
Common Accelerators of Tarnishing
Your Pandora bracelet may darken faster if:
✔ You live in humid climates
✔ You wear it while swimming (chlorine speeds up oxidation)
✔ You apply perfumes/lotions directly on the jewelry
✔ You store it improperly (exposed to air)
Pro Tip from SHEUG Jewelers:
"A little tarnish doesn't mean poor quality - it actually confirms your Pandora jewelry is genuine sterling silver!"
