Zinc alloy also referred to as the Tibetan Silver is an alloy of several elements, including nickel and lead. These elements should be avoided when purchasing Zinc Alloy jewelry - nickel is the biggest cause of allergies while lead is toxic.
Well-crafted zinc alloy makes excellent jewelry. The main forms of zinc alloys are brass; a zinc alloy made of copper and zinc, and nickel silver that’s made of zinc and nickel-copper.
Of these two zinc alloys, brass is the most common in the jewelers’ world given its non-allergenic design, as well as its high degree of corrosion resistance.
Just like most other metals, over time, yes. But there’s some good news – the tarnishing doesn’t take place directly.
The reason for this is that the corrosion resistance of the zinc alloy comes from the fact that zinc exposed to the air will react with carbon dioxide, forming a protective film which prevents further tarnishing while enhancing the longevity of the jewelry pieces.
Therefore, it means that you shouldn’t expect your zinc alloy jewelry to look tarnished for a while!
