What Is Causing My Silver Jewelery To Tarnish?

margerie103186 asked:


I wear several pieces of sterling silver jewelry daily, and have been for years now. I never take off my 2rings or the 2 pairs of earrings in my ears, and wear a necklace and bracelet during the day.

Recently (in the past 2 weeks) my earrings have turned completely black, tarnished. I’ve had to clean them, only to find them tarnished again within a day. I havent really changed my daily routine and I know the water hasn’t changed, what could be causing this?

    Your jewelry is oxidizing cause by moisture. Silver is prone to oxidation. Also your sliver may not be pure. It may be mixed with another metal alloy as a hardener or your jewelry is electroplated. Jewelry that oxidizes is covered in coating that keeps it from oxidizing. The coating could be wearing away. Either way gold is the only transitional metal that does not oxidize(rust).
