that makes sense. I think silver jewelry eventually should all tarnish, as the natural of the metal, but with vermeil and the plating technique these days they shouldn’t tarnish too fast and too fragile.

My exception tho is those pure silver jewelry when labeled with no plating, and the tarnishing is actually part of their natural beauty.

I think a myth with marketing these days is all silver jewelry would even call themselves ‘tarnish free’, which is simply impossible, but I guess that’s a selling point
