Sterling Silver tarnished over a period of time
Over a period of time, silver jewelry and articles tend to blacken. The reason is very simple: even though silver is fairly inert, it reacts with the sulfur present in the atmosphere to form silver sulfide which is dark in color. This corrosion causes temporary surface discoloration of silver which can be simply washed away with luke warm water Surbhi S Guptahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11208576775943984521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18858150.post-81999742622251138702010-09-11T11:33:00.007-04:002010-09-12T17:02:49.164-04:00Neelam- Blue SapphireKINDS OF BLUE SAPPHIRE- नीलम

It is plating not just polishing
Gold plating on silver jewelry is not the same as gold polish on silver. Plating is a chemical reaction which allows gold to adhere to silver. Gold polish is like a paint on your silver jewelry which will wear off much faster.
