Its 'tarnish. Silver reacts with air and this is the result. If you wear silver (as opposed to leaving it in a jewellery box), it wont produce as much tarnish because it isn't as exposed to the air. Having said that, I have items of silver which are terribly tarnished yet have not been exposed to air--silver also reacts with skin chemicals. Its easy to clean off if you do it every time you wear it-let it build up and its a nuisance to get rid of. .
