How to Prevent Sterling Silver from Tarnishing

Silver is the most popular type of metal used for Jewelry in the World today. 

But there's one huge down-fall to Silver. It tarnishes! It turns black.

Silver Jewelry has been around forever. Silver is very soft. Silver is actually too soft to wear as Jewelry. That's why most of the Silver you find on the market today is called "Sterling Silver". 

Nothing stops Silver from tarnishing. When Silver is exposed to the air and atmosphere, it causes a chemical reaction. That's what that little black mark is on your finger...a sulfate stain....usually brought on by oxygen and an acidic pH from your body.

The best way to prohibit tarnishing of a piece is to have it platinum plated. That is the most effective way to wear a piece and keep it fresh silver color.

We offer this to our customers constantly and have yet to have a customer tell us it didn't work or they didn't like it...

Any sterling piece can be plated since the platinum only adheres to the metal.

So next time you consider sitting down to polish your silver...think platinum!
