Best Answer

it could be due to oxidation, a small amount of gases given off from the metal and with a reaction to the skin. Also, your environment could play a part in the metal becoming tarnished. However it is easy to remove, just go and purchase a silver cleaning cloth, it will remove the tarnish and polish the metal at the same time, there are also dual-cleaning cloths available, one side for removing tarnish and the other for polishing. I find that the cloths work better than the chemical jewelry cleaners. I have lots of silver jewelry and the cloths work best for cleaning silver, whether its a necklace, bracelet or ring.
