There’s nothing quite like Sterling Silver<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nYou wear a beautiful Silver Ring for the evening. You take it off at night, and there are black marks all over your fingers<\/strong>. Ugly streaks that stain your skin and clothing.<\/p>\n

WHY?<\/h2>\n

\nIs it Real Silver?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nReal Silver doesn’t Tarnish does it?<\/p>\n

\nWell, the fact is, YES, it is REAL Silver<\/strong>, and YES, those Black Marks prove it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nYou see, Sterling Silver (Stamped 925<\/strong>) oxidizes when it hits air<\/strong>. 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<\/strong>. That’s just the nature of Silver. <\/p>\n

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

All Silver Jewelry will do this!<\/h2>\n

\nGranted 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<\/strong>… But eventually that plating will wear off (just by normal wear) and yes, it will tarnish<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

It’s inevitable!<\/h2>\n

\nJust like this Silver Ring of mine<\/strong> in the image below…<\/p>\n

\n\"Sterling<\/p>\n

\nLuckily, Cleaning and Polishing Silver<\/strong> and removing those ugly stains and tarnish is easy!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIt can be polished up pretty quickly on a Jeweler’s Buffing Wheel<\/strong>, or you can take a Silver Polishing Cloth<\/a>\"\", or even Silver Jewelry Cleaner<\/a>\"\" to it and make it sparkle and shine like the day you bought it.<\/p>\n

\nSee some Silver Cleaning Products below…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"Sterling<\/p>\n

\nThese Cleaning Products are sold at Amazon<\/a>\"\" and are pretty cheap too!<\/strong> :)<\/p>\n

\nSilver is beautiful. <\/p>\n

\nAnd inexpensive. <\/p>\n

But the sacrifice is Oxidation! <\/h2>\n

\nWe all have our weaknesses, don’t we?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
