Anti-Tarnish Jewellery Explained: What It Means and Why It Matters
Tarnishing is one of the most common frustrations with everyday jewellery. That dull film, the fading colour and the eventual need to hide or replace a once-loved piece — it is a story many know too well. At October 22, we have rethought this story from the start.
Our jewellery is made to resist tarnish over time. The foundation is surgical-grade stainless steel, a strong and non-reactive metal that holds its form and finish. On top of that, we apply 18 carat gold through a PVD technique that offers greater adhesion and durability than traditional plating. The result is jewellery that stays bright and polished, even after regular wear.
What this means for you is simple. There is no need to take off your favourite pieces every time you wash your hands, step out in the rain or go about your daily routine. Our anti-tarnish design is about more than chemistry. It is about giving you the freedom to wear what you love, without worrying about what the day might bring.
