A beautiful and dainty little ladybird charm made from 9ct yellow gold and enamel. The charm is frequently bought to add to bracelets or pair with a delicate gold chain necklace such as our 9ct yellow gold 0.8mm curb chain.

Yes it will. Genuine sterling silver and 9ct gold both develop tarnish (the product of a chemical reaction), and this can happen quite quickly or slowly over time. Tarnish can look dark, discoloured or patchy and sometimes like a top layer of the metal is coming away - be assured it is not.

Tarnish tends to happen most quickly when the jewellery comes into contact with:

• Moisture
• Chlorine / Pool / Hot Tub Chemicals
• Shampoos/Body Wash
• Sun Cream
• Perfumes, Moisturisers & Cosmetics
• Household Cleaning Products
• Insect Repellent
• Perspiration & Humidity (this one can be difficult to avoid)

Light tarnish can be removed effectively with a dedicated dry silver polishing cloth (we use the Town Talk brand) and these can be ordered from ebay/amazon inexpensively. If the tarnish is heavy or stubborn, a clean with a wet Cape Cod metal polishing cloth first, followed by the dry cloth afterwards will work wonders. Again, you will find these for sale online.

Always clean your jewellery gently and sparingly. Never polish gold plated jewellery - that should be cleaned with a microfibre cloth only.

If you are struggling to remove stubborn tarnish, we are always happy to clean jewellery purchased from us provided you cover the postage in both directions. Please send us a friendly email to let us know.
