Let’s be real. Nobody wants jewellery that turns green, fades fast or needs babying every time you wear it. You want pieces that can keep up. Jewellery that still looks sharp after a full day’s graft, a night out, or a dip in the sea. That’s why tarnish-free isn’t just a buzzword for us at Origins. It’s part of how we build every single piece.
Here’s how it works, and why it matters.
What Does ‘Tarnish-Free’ Actually Mean?
Tarnishing is what happens when some metals, like cheap alloys or untreated silver, react with air, moisture, sweat or even your skin. The result is that dull, dirty look — sometimes even green marks on your skin. Not exactly ideal.
When we say our jewellery is tarnish-free, we mean it. Your chain, ring or bracelet will keep its shine. No flaking, no fading, and no weird colours where they don’t belong.
The Materials Matter
At the core of every Origins piece is premium grade stainless steel. It’s sometimes called surgical-grade steel — not because it sounds fancy, but because it’s strong, stable and made to last. It doesn’t rust or corrode like other metals, and it doesn’t react with skin. That’s why it’s used in everything from watches to medical tools. It holds up, full stop.
We use that same quality metal in all our silver-toned jewellery. For gold pieces, we don’t just slap on a coating and hope for the best. We use 18k gold PVD coating — a high-tech bonding process that gives you that real gold look and feel, but with a grip that doesn’t quit. It’s thicker and more durable than traditional plating, which means no flaking or fading after a few wears.
Waterproof. Sweatproof. Lifeproof.
Let’s be honest. You don’t take your jewellery off every time you jump in the shower, hit the gym, or go for a swim. And you shouldn’t have to.
That’s why all Origins jewellery is built to handle water, sweat, and whatever else the day throws at you. Whether you’re heading to the beach, training outdoors, or just living your life, our pieces won’t change colour or lose their shine. They’re made to be worn, not tucked away.
No Green Skin, No Reactions
We know how frustrating it is when jewellery leaves your skin stained or irritated. That’s why we make sure our pieces are hypoallergenic. That means no nickel, no cheap fillers, and no nasty surprises.
If you’ve got sensitive skin, you can wear Origins jewellery comfortably. No itching. No redness. Just clean, everyday comfort that looks good and feels good too.
Low Maintenance, High Impact
You don’t need a jewellery box full of cleaners and cloths to keep Origins pieces looking their best. A quick rinse under water and a gentle wipe now and then is more than enough.
Because when jewellery is made right, it doesn’t demand attention. It just gets better with wear.
So, Why Tarnish-Free Matters
It’s not just about looks. It’s about confidence. Knowing you can wear your favourite chain every day without worrying it’ll turn on you. Knowing your ring won’t leave a green circle around your finger. Knowing you can train, travel, or take a dip without thinking twice.
Tarnish-free isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s a non-negotiable. Especially when you’re building a collection of everyday jewellery that’s meant to go the distance.
The Origins Guarantee
Every piece of jewellery we make comes with a lifetime guarantee. That’s how sure we are about the quality. If something’s not right, we’ll sort it. No arguments, no long forms, just good service.
We don’t believe in fast fashion. We believe in affordable, premium jewellery that lasts — and looks as good on year two as it did on day one.
