The lustre of silver jewellery can fade over time. Silver is a relatively soft metal, and it is susceptible to tarnishing, which is the darkening or discolouration that occurs on the surface of silver when it reacts with sulphur compounds in the air. Tarnishing can make silver jewellery lose its original shine and lustre. Avoid keeping your silver jewellery in a moist environment because moisture can instantly affect your jewellery item so it is better to keep your jewellery covered.
