Silver S80 is an alloy that contains 80% silver and 20% other metals. Over time, silver alloys like S80 may tarnish due to exposure to air and other environmental factors. Tarnish can be removed by polishing the silver with a silver polish cloth or cleaning solution.

Does tarnish on sterling silver chain make it stronger?

No tarnish is caused by oxidation of impurities in the silver; that means that when air comes in contact with impure silver, the impurities turn a dark color. Super-refined silver does not tarnish as easily because there is no hydrogen sulfide impurity in it. The tarnish does not make the silver item stronger, it actually can cause the item to have less silver. Polishing a tarnished item to make it shiny again removes a small amount of the metal. Take care against over-polishing any silver item.

What makes sterling silver tarnish?

exposure to substances which react with the surface of the metal, usually sulphur. Sterling silver is .925 (925%) pure silver. The other .75 is made up of an alloy consisting mainly of copper which oxidizes over time. When copper is exposed to oxygen, it darkens and eventually turns green. Sterling silver doesn't usually turn green but will turn almost black if not protected. Fine silver or .999 silver doesn't tarnish. Argentium silver is a new type of sterling silver that is tarnish-resistant. Only certain chemicals will tarnish Argentium but it will not tarnish from oxidation. Some metals that contain little to no silver are branded with names that make it seem like real silver. One of these metals is nickle silver, which doesn't contain any silver at all.
