Sterling Silver Leaves Black Marks

There’s nothing quite like Sterling Silver.

You wear a beautiful Silver Ring for the evening. You take it off at night, and there are black marks all over your fingers. Ugly streaks that stain your skin and clothing.

WHY?

Is it Real Silver?

Real Silver doesn’t Tarnish does it?

Well, the fact is, YES, it is REAL Silver, and YES, those Black Marks prove it!

You see, Sterling Silver (Stamped 925) oxidizes when it hits air. It makes it Tarnish, turn Yellow, and leaves Green and Black marks on your fingers, wrist, neck, and anything else it comes in contact with. And the sad thing is, there’s not much you can do about it. That’s just the nature of Silver.

Why even the most popular Charm Bracelets in the world (Pandora) oxidizes and turns colors over time. You know this when you look in the showcases and see BRAND NEW Charms with a yellowish cast to them. They’re tarnishing already!

All Silver Jewelry will do this!

Granted there are some stores that sell Silver that is also plated… Which is supposed to make it last longer and NOT turn colors or leave stains… But eventually that plating will wear off (just by normal wear) and yes, it will tarnish.

It’s inevitable!

Just like this Silver Ring of mine in the image below…

Luckily, Cleaning and Polishing Silver and removing those ugly stains and tarnish is easy!

It can be polished up pretty quickly on a Jeweler’s Buffing Wheel, or you can take a Silver Polishing Cloth, or even Silver Jewelry Cleaner to it and make it sparkle and shine like the day you bought it.

See some Silver Cleaning Products below…

These Cleaning Products are sold at Amazon and are pretty cheap too! :)

Silver is beautiful.

And inexpensive.

But the sacrifice is Oxidation!

We all have our weaknesses, don’t we?
