Why is my Vivienne Westwood necklace rusting?

Why your Vivienne Westwood necklace is rusting may be due to something it was exposed to. Sterling silver can tarnish, rust or corrode due to chlorine, seawater and chemicals found in soaps, body washes, perfumes, lotions and other skin care and beauty products. Discoloration doesn't just occur with Vivienne Westwood jewelry. It can happen to any necklace made out of sterling silver. You can reduce the risk of tarnishing by removing your jewelry before you bathe, swim and apply body lotion and other products. Following the care instructions provided by Vivienne Westwood can also help to keep your necklace looking like new. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of Vivienne Westwood jewelry.
