It depends on the age of the silver, if it is more than 4 years old it will be dull.
Unlike pure gold, silver will eventually tarnish and go dull. Silver can be cleaned of tarnish by soaking for a few minutes in a mixture of half a cup of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Afterwards, rub the silver gently with a soft cloth. Or, on silver jewellery, use a dry soft-bristled toothbrush or similar.

oxydization
ornaments of silver look dull because silver reacts with h2s gas present in air to form black silver sulphide so it looses its shine

No. Sodium reacts with oxygen in the air and becomes dull and boring. Sodium also reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas which will also cause burns on the skin where it was worn. Only stable metals are used for jewellery, such as gold, silver, and platinum.

It's called oxidation. Rust if it were on steel. Oxygen in the air combines with the silver and causes it to darken.
It is in fact the best radiator. Dull black is the best absorber and emitter. Then shiny black, followed by white, then silver. While the best reflector goes the other way around (silver's the best, then white, followed by shiny black, then dull black)
It's a dull silver color that looks were metallic.
At home this can be achieved with a piece of abrasive material, a bit like a pan scrubber! In the workshop we use a "scratch brush". In much the same way as a highly polished piece look dull after the scratches of day-to-day wear and tear, then a dull finish will eventually wear shiny. The dull finish, just like the highly polished finish, can easily be restored by your jewellery workshop.
