Will 925 18k gold tarnish?

.925 is a silver content. Sterling silver being 92.5% or higher silver content, the remaining alloys are 7.5%. Some alloys may slow tarnish, but there is no alloy that will eliminate the need for polishing. .750 or 18k gold wont tarnish but may change color with age depending on the remaining .250 alloys. If you are asking if 18k gold plating over a .925 sterling silver base will tarnish, the answer will be when the goldplating has worn off exposing the base metal to the elements, It will tarnish like any other silver.


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.

Does Bangkok gold tarnish?

Gold does not tarnish, as it is a noble metal that is resistant to corrosion. However, if the gold piece is not pure and contains other metals like copper or silver, it may oxidize and appear to tarnish over time. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent any discoloration or dullness.

Do silver and gold combine with oxygen?

Silver does, slowly (which is why it tarnishes). Gold for the most part doesn't (which is why it doesn't tarnish).It is possible to combine gold and oxygen, but it doesn't happen spontaneously at ordinary temperatures.
