Silver can become discolored due to tarnishing, which is caused by a chemical reaction between silver and sulfur-containing substances in the air, such as hydrogen sulfide. Other factors like exposure to moisture, certain foods, and cosmetics can also contribute to silver tarnishing. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help prevent and remove discoloration.
