Caring for Silver Jewelry
Silver is tarnished by sulfur containing elements such as wool, felt, food (onions, eggs, and mayonnaise), fossil fuels, rubber bands, latex gloves, carpet padding, and certain paints. Tarnish can be accelerated in a humid environment. Salts, from foods, bodily oils, or natural elements (the ocean air) are corrosive elements and therefore a danger to silver. The effects of salts, if not quickly removed, can permanently damage fine silver.
Tarnish is easily removed when first noticed. If used and polished often, silver will tarnish infrequently. Tarnish that is allowed to sit over time, however, becomes difficult to remove.
