If you are deciding to buy sterling silver jewellery then a point to note is that sterling silver jewellery is prone to tarnish due to the tendency of sterling silver to oxidize in air. So if you rub your hand on the sterling silver jewellery and see a dull smudge on your hand you will know it has tarnished. There are many ways to avoid tarnish. Easiest is to buff up your sterling silver jewellery by regularly
cleaning it with a cotton cloth. Or after sometime if it has tarnished a lot you can polish it with jewellery polish available at the super market. But, there is another way out; you can get your sterling silver jewellery lacquered with a polish and your sterling silver jewellery will not tarnish. A downside is that when the lacquer wears off it damages the jewellery, and you will have to ask your jeweler to lacquer it again. Be sure to keep these things in mind when you are buying a piece of sterling silver jewellery.
