The best way to prevent tarnish is to wear your sterling silver pendants and other sterling silver jewelry often. The touch of your skin and hand will prevent the build up of tarnish. However, don't wear sterling silver in chlorinated water or when working with household cleaners such as bleach or ammonia. Some of these cleaners will turn your sterling silver jewelry black. If this does happen, don't despair. Pick up some Twinkle, or another silver polish and you should be able to fix the problem. If not, take it to your local jeweler.
