Sterling
Silver
Silver has been known and used for thousands of years
and was believed to have magical properties which could
promote healing and bring good luck. In ancient times,
silver was used for jewelry, ornaments, utensils, and
as a substance that could be bartered for other goods
and services. Silver is Precious metal & much like
gold it is too fine to be made in 100% form.
To make it durable for jewelry, pure silver (999 fineness)
is often alloyed with some quantities of copper (7.5%),
thus comes sterling silver 925. Copper is added to strengthen
the silver & make it durable to be use as decorative
or in fashionable jewelry.

they may absorb the chemicals, & cause discoloration.

film from silver you can use fresh, uncontaminated

Tarnish is a product of oxidation, caused by interacting
of silver jewelry or objects with certain elements
such as oxygen or sulfur as well as with certain acids.
Tarnishing on silver jewelry, when worn on a regular
basis, usually does not occur. Storage for a prolonged
time causes silver jewelry to tarnish.
Usually, tarnish will not appear on jewelry that
is worn on a regular basis. The gentle frictions from
wearing and contact of oils on the skin will likely
keep your jewelry bright and sparkling. Note though
that taking certain medications can cause changes
in skin acidity and may cause your jewelry to tarnish.
Contact with rubber bands may cause tarnish - the
sulfur in rubber is a catalyst for tarnish.
To keep your silver tarnish-free, frequently clean
your silver in a mild dishwashing liquid diluted in
water. Thoroughly dry your silver jewelry after exposure
to water. Store silver in a dry container or a plastic
bag with anti-tarnish paper.
It is recommended that you keep your sterling silver
in an air-tight protective bag made of tarnish proof
cloth or a plastic zip lock bag. Although your jewelry
is scratch resistant it isn't scratch proof, so we
recommend that you store your jewelry so that it isn't
rubbing up against other articles. Also, when storing
remember
that exposing it to air promotes tarnishing. Avoid
storing your Sterling Silver Jewelry directly on wood
surfaces, because wood usually contains acid that
can mar the finish.
To Summarize
Do not allow your silver to come in contact
with items containing sulfur like matches, rubber
bands, etc.
Avoid your jewelry's contact with abrasive soaps,
perfumes, sprays, dyes, etc.
To prevent tarnishing, wash jewelry with mild soap
and water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
