Sulfur is an element and as such no silver would be found in pure sulfur except as a trace element.
Sulfur causes silver to tarnish.
yes it is Ag plus S (Sulfur found in the atmosphere) yeilds Ag2S silver sulfide
The combination of silver and sulfur is silver sulfide (Ag2S). This is a compound with a metal (silver) and a non-metal (sulfur), so we use the metal's name with the non-metal's name changed to end in -ide.

Ag2S = silver sulfide
Sulfur causes silver to tarnish.
Silver is found in veins underground. It is also found in trace amounts in zinc, lead, gold and copper ores. Silver can also be found with other minerals like sulfur and arsenic.

Silver tarnishes because it reacts to the sulfur/hydrogen sulfur in the air. I assume that if the necklace is tarnishing so quickly it likely means that there is an unusual amount of sulfur or hydrogen sulfur in the air or, more likely, the reactant in the silver that causes ir to tarnish is found in an unusually high amount in that particular piece of jewellery.

When silver is combined with sulfur, it forms a layer of black silver sulfide. Being exposed to air and sulfur will cause any type of silver to tarnish.
