It’s a widely known fact that silver tarnishes. When it comes into contact with moisture in the air, it can discolour, darken and tarnish. Silver-plated jewelry and sterling silver contain a small percentage of silver and are therefore more likely to tarnish. Even contact with acids and oxygen can accelerate tarnishing.
