Have you noticed the tendency of silver jewellery turning black or dull? If yes, then it is not a problem it is just a sign of less maintenance. If you forget to store it properly, the metal undergoes a chemical reaction with sulphur present in the air and turns black. That dark layer is called tarnish, and not dirt or a sign of bad quality. But, don’t worry and you still have good news, yes, you can prevent tarnishing by practicing few simple habits.

 925 silvers, which is also called sterling silver, is a combination of 92.5% pure silver mixed with copper. That copper makes it strong enough for daily wear. But that same copper is also why tarnish creeps in over time. Silver has natural tarnishing character to slow it down and keep your jewellery looking good for years.

Store it in the right way that prevents Tarnishing

 Don't toss your silver into an open tray or bowl. Air and moisture are the main things speeding up tarnish, so keeping pieces sealed helps a lot. A small Ziplock pouch works well. Squeeze the air out before you seal it, and if you have a silica packet lying around, drop it in too. It soaks up extra moisture and buys you more time between cleanings.
