Good afternoon ladies. Has anyone kept their stickers on their hardware and seen oxidation ? Is It more prone on gold or palladium? How long is It ok and not ok to keep the original stickers on?
Hardware oxidizes?

Yes it happens. Take the stickers off immediately. It happens with the later batches, less with PHW and GHW and especially with RGHW. Reduce humidity and use and air your bags regularly. This is the advice given by SAV. (after sales service at FSH)
The stickers are very bad for metals and actually on everything too, absolutely no use to keeping them on?
I just learned my lesson the hard way, but thankfully with a pair of shoes and not a bag 
The stickers were left on for 4 months and I just took them off, as I noticed some tarnishing. Any tips on if the tarnish can be polished out? I carefully wiped it with a micro fiber cloth, but it didn’t help.

@daisygal03 not a problem. Just rub harder/polish with a polishing cloth and it will all come off. Rghw seems to be the most susceptible imo. I've had it occur on a constance and everything shown in the pics below came off easy.
Thank you!! Phew, glad to hear that it’s easy to polish out. Do you have a specific brand that you use? I’m assuming you’re referring to a polishing cloth like this:
CONNOISSEURS Ultrasoft Jewelry Polishing Clothes, 11x14 Inches https://a.co/d/0gElctq
Yes this is what I use and it works wonders
That’s great that worked for you! I’ll try rubbing with a soft cloth again, but it didn’t seem to help much. If it doesn’t work I’ll purchase a polishing cloth.
hi! has anyone tried Connoisseurs jewelry cloth on permabrass hardware? Do you use the one for gold or silver? Thank you!
