That's what \"tarnish\" is. The face of the earring has been processed with a protective coating to preserve the finish. To maintain the protection and the patina, avoid harsh chemicals like hairspray, gel, sunscreen. To brighten, dip in a bowl of mild soapy water and rinse. Don't soak. Dry gently with a soft cloth or paper towel. Brighten the back as needed with a silver polishing cloth. The more they are worn, the less they tarnish. To deepen the patina, wear them often—your skin’s natural oils will enhance the finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Silver","offers":[{"title":"Sterling silver \/ silver","offer_id":43519682543694,"sku":null,"price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Copper \/ copper","offer_id":43519682576462,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/4808\/8142\/files\/iris_no_bg.png?v=1773352291","url":"https:\/\/phoenixsilverllc.com\/products\/french-iris-silver-studs-art-nouveau-earrings-reclaimed-sterling-silver","provider":"Phoenix Silver ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
