No — Stylr is built to resist tarnish. Tarnish is what happens when metals like sterling silver or brass react with air and moisture. 316L surgical stainless steel doesn’t tarnish that way, and the gold tone is applied by PVD, which bonds the finish to the steel instead of sitting on top like traditional plating.
That’s the whole point of the material: it stays put through showers, sweat, and pool days.
