Do not worry. Bleach only tarnishes silver (which gives it the black colour). Try toothpaste and a toothbrush, or clean with a silver cleaning cloth. Alternatively, take it to your local jeweler who can polish it for you.
Try a probiotic cleaner, visit DistinctBright in Facebook for information about the cleaner without chemicals. Bleach is a powerful chemical and will oxidize your luxury pieces. Tarnish is a form of oxidation. Avoid chemicals in your body and jewelry. I do not recommend ammonia also, although is one of the oldest cleaner. Take care of your Allergies and health

True sterling silver will not leave green marks on your finger. Sterling from North America is fine silver ( .999 pure) a .925 % and copper makes of the rest of the alloy.

What is the meaning of the term sterling silver?
Sterling is 92.5% silver. The other 7.5% is usually copper, but can include other metals. Copper is added to silver to reduce the material cost, and to increase the hardness. Sterling is by no means the "highest" quality of silver. It is slightly harder than .999 "pure" silver, but it also corrodes much more easily because of the copper content. The black oxidation on sterling silver is a result of copper catalyzing the reaction with air. Salt will also cause sterling to corrode more quickly, but will not affect .999 silver the same way. Salt is found in sweat, seawater, at the table, etc., and all of those sources can cause sterling silver items to turn black. Sterling silver is often coated in a fine layer of .999 silver to hold off corrosion and for the brighter reflectivity of pure silver.
