What tarnishes silver?

Answer 1

Good question! I know that there are so many different things that can tarnish silver. I believe the main cause for tarnishing silver is sulfur that is found in many lotions and cleaners. To clean the tarnish, you can go to the JIC (Jewelry Information Center) website at www.jic.org to get info on now to take care of your favorite silver items, as well as plenty of other materials. They have everything you can possibly need to know about jewelry and they host a ton of really fab gift ideas... Also, dont forget to visit the jewelry stories section where people (including me!) contribute their own personal jewelry story for others to read. And feel free to add your own so others are able to read it and feel inspired! I think what's so great about this section is that you get to see how people have come to cherished certain pieces of jewelry so much.. whether they be items purchased for themselves or by others. Plus, if you submit a story, you're entered into the JIC Sweepstakes to win a beautiful Kay Jeweler's white gold diamond necklace! www.jic.org Good luck, Laur
