Bathed in the glow of perpetual luster, jewelry that doesn't tarnish speaks a language of eternal beauty, unmarred by the passage of time. In this realm of enduring radiance, Naude Bourn emerges as the artisan of the ageless—crafting exquisite, tarnish-resistant 18k gold pieces designed to defy the dulling effects of time. Each creation is not merely an accessory—it’s an heirloom.
Understanding Tarnish: Why It Happens and How to Prevent It
Tarnish is the silent thief of brilliance. Caused by oxidation—when metal reacts with air, moisture, or chemicals—it dims even the most exquisite designs. Perfume, sweat, water, and household products accelerate this process. Even luxury jewelry can tarnish, depending on the materials used.
Common tarnish triggers include:
-
Air Exposure – Extended contact with open air causes surface oxidation.
-
Moisture & Humidity – Water and dampness lead to corrosion.
-
Chemical Reactions – Lotions, perfumes, and soaps can erode finish over time.

Why 18K Gold Is the Gold Standard
Unlike lower karat gold or plated options, 18k gold resists tarnish due to its high gold content (75%). It carries the rich warmth of pure gold while maintaining structural integrity.
At Naude Bourn, we work exclusively in 18k gold to ensure our pieces meet the highest standards of longevity, elegance, and sustainability.
-
Bravura Yellow: Pure, unplated radiance that reflects your fire.
-
Rebel Rose: Romantic warmth with enduring strength.
-
Surge White & Stealth Black: Rhodium-plated finishes for heightened tarnish resistance.
Each tone is selected not just for visual appeal, but for its ability to carry your narrative—bold, unchanging, and luminous.
Protective Craftsmanship: Rhodium-Plated Finishes for Endurance
Our white and black gold designs receive an advanced rhodium-plating treatment, forming a high-shine barrier against wear. This not only resists tarnish but enhances brilliance over time.
Our yellow and rose gold are intentionally left unplated, showcasing the true character of their tone. They resist tarnish naturally due to gold’s chemical stability.
The Brilliance Is Built In
Every Naude Bourn piece is meticulously polished and sealed to amplify its natural brilliance. Unlike silver or plated brass, our 18k gold does not lose its glow—it deepens in beauty over time.

How to Care for Your Tarnish-Resistant Jewelry
Even the best materials deserve mindful care. Extend the brilliance of your Naude Bourn collection with these essentials:
1. Clean Gently
Use mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners unless advised.
2. Store with Intention
Use soft-lined pouches or anti-tarnish boxes. Keep pieces separate to prevent micro-scratches.
3. Protect from Harsh Elements
Remove jewelry before swimming, cleaning, or applying products like perfume or lotion.
