A few words on TARNISH                                                                 When you deal with silver jewelry...                                 you know about tarnish.                                 Here are a few tips:
                                Keep silver away from sulfur.                                 It's silver's main corrosive agent...                                 there are sulfur-containing substances                                 in the air and it occurs more quickly in damp and foggy weather.                                 What else is corrosive?                                 Ammonia...Think glass cleaner.                                 Nair (Check the label,                                 you'll see ammonia listed.)

Keeping your silver in an airtight plastic bag will also help; this will keep the sulfur and other corrosive agents in the air from coming in contact with your silver. The jewelry box may be a mass of plastic bags... but the jewelry will look good! If you keep jewelry in a box or drawer, your should consider a small bag of activated charcoal. It's an old fashioned remedy, but it helps.

When considering a silver dip, rethink it if your piece has a stone.                                                 Some stones cannot be dipped, soft stones like turquoise, lapis, malachite, amber and pearls are but a few.                                                 No problem with amethyst, garnet, onyx, moonstone, iolite, tourmaline and many others.                                                 Sterling silver jewelry should be worn and enjoyed...don't worry about the tarnish.
