Hi Kaysie,

If your earrings have started to tarnish, this is usually a result of a built up of sulfur in your piercing. Please make sure to regularly clean your earrings (2-3x a week) to prevent this from happening. The jewelry cloth provided in your order is needed to clean off the tarnishing that has occurred on your earrings. Just gently clean the tarnished area with the jewelry cloth and it will get rid of the black spot! Please refer to our cleaning instructions provided in your order for proper jewelry care to prevent your sterling silver jewelry from tarnishing.

Best,
Dorothy
