Silver does, slowly (which is why it tarnishes). Gold for the most part doesn't (which is why it doesn't tarnish).

It is possible to combine gold and oxygen, but it doesn't happen spontaneously at ordinary temperatures.

Why silver metal does not combine with oxygen but silver jewellery tarnishes after sometime?

Silver metal is resistant to oxidation due to its low reactivity with oxygen. However, silver jewellery can tarnish when exposed to sulfur compounds in the air, forming silver sulfide, which creates a dark layer on the surface of the silver. This tarnishing process is a chemical reaction specific to sulfur, not oxygen.
