I have started to experiment with using a new type of silver in my work. It is called Brilliante and is less prone to tarnishing so keeps it's shine for longer.
Silver tarnishes naturally over time as elements within it react to the atmosphere and body sweat.
To help prevent tarnishing, store your silver jewellery in air tight plastic bags in a cool dry place. Some jewellery boxes are lined with anti-tarnish fabric, or you can buy anti tarnish strips from Lakeland Limited. You can clean off tarnish using a special anti-tarnish cloth available from most jewellers.
It seems to be working out well and should mean less cleaning for my customers!
