So I'm liking these titanium earrings I've have for a couple of months. One is just a plain ole ball, and the other two have a decent looking (but fake) crystals. I notice that the crystals started to look a little dull, so I headed to WalMart to get some jewlery cleaner. I was thinking of the nasty smelling liquid kind that I used to use on my gold earrings. Just dunk the earrings in and the come out all pretty and sparkly.
So the girl at the counter asked if she could help me and I explained I wanted some cleaner for my titanium earrings. She said, this one and this other one are basically the same. Just so you know, after you use it they will tarnish faster.
Tarnish? I guess I didn't think that titanium would tarnish. I explained that I didn't care if the metal was shiny...I wanted to make the crystals look sparkly. She then suggested a silver polishing cloth to use just on the crystals.
Can titanium tarnish? Does using jewlery cleaner make it tarnish faster?
