Does sterling silver tarnish? 

When I started wearing silver chains as a kid, at first I was one who would clean em everyday, and try the most to keep from tarnishing. Eventually a jeweler told me to not be so uptight with the maintenance of the chain. He recommended quite the opposite, he recommended I sweat in it, wear it, and not even focus on keeping it clean. In other words this has been the secret for me to keeping my chains clean over the years. I cycle chains every couple years, and wear them 24/7/365, I work out, sweat, swim, sleep, shower in them and never had tarnishing issues.

I own a pendant that I’ve had since the mid 90’s. I had it stashed away until about 1 month ago. It was heavily tarnished but I was able to clean it very good and bring it back to life.

Hey Dennis. What’s your opinion about oxidized silver jewelry. Do you like the way it looks?

Thanks for your intake on this subject...just got my 3mm 8 sided chain from you and love it...will stay tuned

What's so awesome about this baking soda and water paste is that it will clean silver, gold, white gold and stainless steel

Can I work with my chain on or will it get ruin even under my shirt

I don't know too much about sterling silver jewelry but your videos are very helpful. also I want to thank you for helping me with my 3mm rope, I bought the product you told me to and it looks brand new.

What size and type of chain are you wearing in this video bro?

Does it tarnish as far as becoming green? Like the metal eats itself? Considering it’s silver does it just get dirty (tarnish) rather then rusty (tarnish)

my chain fell into the kerosene (Diluente) when I was painting the house and we were afraid it would lose its shine...help my tell my about this thank you

How do I clean the stainless steel and where is the best cheapest place to get a nice cuban link chain with the box clasp in sterling silver

You should include in a video how to clean jewelry and like what’s safe. I have two of your chains and I use the polishing cloth that came with my first one to wipe off any oil from my skin or just moisture before I store them, and I don’t want to wear down the silver or clean anything too much.

the reason why some .925 silver pieces tarnish more rapidly than others is based on whether the piece of jewelry has a rhodium coating or not. Rhodium is highly tarnish-resistant and will help silver jewelry keep its color longer.

Great video, very informational and honest 🙏

Hey man I was wondering when you guys will be stocking 5.5mm 22” Miami Cuban chains.

all silver tarnishes with time even pure silver I prefer my silver to have tarnish in the crevices it brings out the details

My silver has tarnished. Got this product called Wright's Silver Cream...stuff is amazing!!! Simple to clean your silver, I have an 88 gram hand made Miami cuben that I ware every day and it looks new just by using the product I mentioned once every 2-3 months.

Really enjoying your content and your chains looks dope, ever since i saw the prism cut Franco on cuba knows I wanted one for my extra chrome hearts pendant. Luckily the construction seasons about to kick off so ill be making the upgrade soon

I have a ring that I wear a lot that's stamped 925. I noticed that copper is showing a bit. I was wondering how to fix it. Thanks.

What do I do so after I was using connoisseur sterling silver cleaner on my jewelry it turned white and idk what happen please help

Heyy i have a question, can we swim with a sterling silver bracelet, in chlorine water

How much is ur chains ⛓ ,got any pendants?

On which type of silver is the tarnish reversible that’s the question

What mm is that on the neck

I have a Italian silver ring it didn't tarnish for years

whats the width on this necklace youre wearing?

Something people forget about is that everybody's body is different the silver up against your skin will react depending on what your body secretes.... I have seen people wear chains and it tarnishes in 2 days and I have seen others wear them for a month and nothing happened. The cleaner your diet the less crap your body will release. Even if the silver tarnishes you can clean it in less than 2 minutes and make it look new again.

Which one lasts longer?

This video left me with more questions than answers.

What size are you wearing?

my 925 continue getting black every 2 days. any recommendations.

I have this 925 Sterling Silver cuban link chain bracelet made in Italy does it last long?

Nice chain 🔥💯

I just dropped a small $200 on a 136 gram sterling rope chain. I used a boiled Ed to tarnish it then buffed it. The aged look is 🔥

Thanks for video

The only downside to silver is that it tarnishes, but it’s an easy fix, especially if you know the baking soda and aluminum foil method, which, in fact, takes only the tarnish and plates it onto the aluminum, whereas jewelry cleaner solutions, and other methods takes silver off, as well as the tarnish. So with that the pro side of having silver jewelry is that it’s 92.5%, pure silver, whereas most gold chains are only 48%to 75% pure. So unless you’re buying 22 karat or pure gold jewelry, which is really not economically liable is that with a silver chain can say it’s “a silver chain” a chain made out of silver, whereas a 14 karat gold chain is only a little bit over half actual gold. Oh, and I forgot to mention that gold also does tarnish just not usually as fast as silver. One more note is that some people prefer the look of tarnished or “patina” on their silver jewelry and gold jewelry. I have it a gold mariner link bracelet from my grandfather that has a little bit of a tarnish what I like to call a patina and I think it looks cool, so it really depends on what kind of person you are whether you mind or not and that it’s an easy fix if you know what to do. Just google using baking soda and aluminum foil for silver. And aside that which also works for gold, the only other thing you need to use cleaning your jewelry is Dawn dish soap. So for tarnish boil some water line a tray with aluminum foil lay your jewelry on top of the foil sprinkle some baking soda over it, and then pour boiling water into the tray. Maybe add some more baking soda it will foam up a bit mix it up a little and let it sit until cold, then rinse off and/or use Dawn dish soap and hot water. Gold or silver.

Hi, I hope you could help me out. Which lasts longer? Or doesn’t tarnish easily? Cubic zirconia, zinc alloy, stainless steel or 925 sterling silver? Thanks

Please do a video on gld shop nfl pendants.

I came here because I have sterling silver earrings I've been wearing just over a week and the colour is starting to look like 9k gold. I had them in the box for 10 yrs but wearing them caused them to tarnish so fast. I wash my face multiple times a day so maybe them getting wet is causing it. I actually like the warmth of the metal look as it is now. Just curious why it happened. Before this I wore ball studs for many years and they didn't change colour on me. Weird

How much would it cost to have a relayer of rhodium plating on the ring that tarnished and it wore off

Did u make that video?

It depends on the alloys. Higher end Italian jewelry often uses less of the alloys that a lot of people react to. Like 2 large Italian solid organically shaped rings I have that either don't tarnish or hardly at. About $100 each & worth it.

Thank you for the video. I really like sterling silver, especially large organic shaped rings. In chains & other jewelry, my skin will tarnish it if it's not rhodium plated. It's all about how your body reacts.

Bro get the box lock cubans, would cop ASAP if they dropped and I dont fw lobster clasps

Whats The chain your wearing in this video update Dennis? Look sweet

Yes. Thank me later.

How long dose silver dipped in gold last?

Hi do u have a shopee shop?

I have a 925 Sterling silver rope chain and in the grooves it’s turned yellow. I’ve tried the baking soda and hot water thing but it never really worked to remove the yellow. Anything I can do to get it cleaned ?

You never answered the question...why does it tarnish for person A but not B

Simply buy an Argentium/935 Silver, it does not tarnish so bad and so fast. The price is only a little bit higher.

you going to be back in restock on 6mm miami cuban link chain

sterling silver will tarnish mainly because of the other alloys mixed in with the silver except fine silver 99.9% which has no other alloys in mixed in and except for pmc silver clay fine silver 99.9% which does tarnish because of the chemical clay compound which makes it porous brittle and weak

I have bangles that are hallmarked 925 silver, but they are gold, they are quite old, have yo seen ths before?

Do you clean your sterling silver jewelry often?

What chain are you rocking in this video? 🔥

I like tarnished silver far more than the bling bling one. How can I make it tarnish more/faster?

What about silver rings

Just subscribed, will a gold plated stainless steel bracelet for men tarnish?

Sterling silver is 92 1/2 % silver. There are higher percentages of silver than sterling (925), such as Ultrafine or Superfine silver, like 950 silver (95% silver), which don't tarnish at all or only very little. I have some. After all, 99 % ( 100 %) silver coming out of the mines is never tarnished. ( Even the alloys in anything other than 24k gold tarnish.) I have 22k gold rings that never tarnish. I have had 14k gold jewelry that has "tarnished" due to the alloys. The higher silver % 's can be searched for availability.

How many mm is that chain you have on 🤔🤔

My father is wearing his marriage ring since 1997..and he wasn't able to take it off since 2003(because his finger did get fat and the ring is stuck till now)... And he does everything with it... And it's still superrrrr clean.... He never cleaned it,,, nothing changed on it,,,real sterling silver never tarnish budd...neveeeer...

Baking soda hot water in aluminum give it 5min back to shine.

What size chain is he wearing?

Argentium Sterling silver is tarnish resistant because Argentium alloys replace some of the copper alloys that are found in Sterling silver. It is also more expensive. However, I have never seen someone that can tell by just looking at a piece of jewelry if it I Sterling silver. If it’s Sterling it has to be stamped somewhere with .925. The cheap stuff can tarnish also.

I prefer the darker silver. I even bleach it, to take the shine off it.

Hi! Is there a lot of fake stamped 925 going around? 🤔

buying precious metals from luxury brands is a sign of stupidity. if you are gonna get silver and gold, why pay extra money for the brand!!

What MM is your chain and is it sterling

Cool

Silver will tarnish if you don't clean it if you make a paste out of water and baking soda if you wear the piece of silver everyday clean it once a week with this paste if you wear the silver every now and then clean it once every two weeks to a month and it will never tarnish with this paste cleaning routine if you are really truly wanting to get the best shine out of the Piece for a special occasion silver or gold get a liquid jewelry cleaner for either silver or gold and let the piece soak in the liquid cleaner for the piece silver or gold for a few minutes then air dry mix the water and baking soda paste together brush if you have an old toothbrush or use a paper towel with the paste on it and rub it into the piece of jewelry then let the piece of jewelry air dry and develop a crust from the baking soda and water paste then rinse off with water and wipe dry with a paper towel or lint-free Fiber or cloth towel you can also clean the piece with a regular towel you'll just have to deal with the lint from a regular towel which is no big deal

Long video for a yes or no question

I wouldn’t mind hearing about argentium silver. I heard it is more tarnish-resistant than sterling silver.

Very knowledgeable. He’s got the nose that knows

How often does sterling silver tarnish? Also how long would a sterling silver rope chain last?

The best way to un tarnish it is, hot water, tin foil, and baking soda

Do you think is ok to wear silver to the gym, lots of sweats....

Silver on Aluminium foil + boiling salt water = restored silver

It’s pollution it depends of the air quality

I don't understand people buying Tiffany.. I get that you want quality, that's one thing but to an extent. Also to overpay for a gold chain is one thing, but to overpay on a silver chain!? Even most places like in the mall, Sears, and most big name jewelry stores will try and sell you silver jewelry at some INSANE high premium! That or 10kt hollow gold. I took my nephew to Jarred just to try on some chains to see what he liked. He was looking at this 8mm flat curb silver bracelet they were selling for $170!!! Came home and ordered him a 8mm flat curb silver chain from Luke Zion less than the price they were charging for a single bracelet! I think it's because these people selling over priced, low quality jewelry either at mall stores or jewelry shops either do it because they know they are taking advantage and don't care, or don't know and are told much because they personally don't know crap about jewelry. I don't remember the last time I went to a jewelry store and saw an actual scale! They just care about getting low quality product out the door ASAP with an insane premium. MAJOR props to guys like Dennis at Luke Zion for not only selling quality products but at a fair price!

Why does silver tarnish for one person but not the other? I do the keto diet.... I've been searching for that video since it peaked my interest

It tarnish because person A wears perfume. If you want tour chain shining avoid to spray it with perfume

Can you get me a larger then 7mm rope chain? Like 10/12mm? I’d buy rite now

can i wear sterling silver in the pool

Omg that i start business selling… lot complains.. lol.. normal, if u don’t ready of.. buy plastic! Idk how explain all that I’m not scammer.. after given 50% discounts them.. what maybe accept their returns and fix to sell another time?

You didn’t even explain why some tarnishes and others don’t🤦🏽‍♂️

Baking soda and water made into a paste

That doesn't make sense brother. The reason for the existence of sterling silver is that it's a non corrosive alloy composition. Think about it, the jewelry wouldn't make it off the sales floor before it was tarnished. Jewelry companies would be stuck with mass piles of tarnished, non desirable jewelery weeks after it was made.

Why are you selling 925 sterling silver if you know it fades and tarnishes?

Yappin

Tiffany's silver jewelry are horrible most probably they use too much copper above their unreasonably high brand price 😳

"I'm gonna be making another video" you hardly told us anything in this video.

I hate sterling silver, I only wear Argentium that has germanium and makes the silver highly tarnish resistant and gives it a bright white luster or fine silver

looking to get my first piece from you, can i wear it in the shower?

you said a whole lot of nothing

??? So what's the freakin' answer to the question?? Why is it it does tarnish with some people and not with others? ...I know that silver does tarnish but why only with some people? Is it the rubbing on cloths? Are some people just cleaning it more often? What's the deal? You pose the question but you just won't give an answer.

Make a video about wearing sterling silver chains in the shower and going to sleep with it on

Its all on thr human sweat

Bleach darkens sterling silver

the intro was half this video :/
