Why your sterling silver jewelry disc?
If you are a jewelry fanatic, you probably know that sterling and Hill Tribe silver jewelry tarnish comes. As a result of its reaction to air and chemicals such as sulfur. The copper alloy present in nearly all silver jewelry also undergoes a separate chemical reaction.
Silver corrosion combined with sulfur makes a dark appearance known as tarnish. That’s why you must always clean your jewelry appropriately and dry it thoroughly before storing it as moisture, dust, dirt, or oil might accelerate tarnishing.
Where and how do you store your silver jewelry?
Sterling and Hill Tribe silver jewelry should preferably be stored in airtight containers because reduced contact with air lowers the rate of corrosion and tarnishing.
Ziplock bags are the most preferred household items to use for this function or another airtight bag with no scratchy surface, for instance, those made of polyethylene. Do not store silver jewelry in polyvinyl plastic bags because they contain some chemical compounds which hasten tarnish. However, if you are ready to spend, there are specialized boxes and bags for silver storage in jewelry stores.
