But does it turn black?

This is the question we hear more often than any other.

If "turning black" means that silver loses its color and can never regain its shine, we have to say: NO. Silver with a purity of 925 or 800 does NOT turn black under normal conditions.

Why?

Because the oxides that settle on the surface can be removed, just like any dirt on any surface. You just need to use the right product at the right time.

In general, we can say: If we don’t wait until our silver item is completely dirty (oxidized), it can be polished with less effort.

Exceptions include silver-plated items such as decorative objects (photo frames, trays, etc.) and certain types of silver-plated or rhodium-plated silver jewelry.
