Can I wash a silver necklace to remove the black?

I've had this silver necklace for just 8 months and turned so dark. Its not everyday wear, maybe 3 times a week and ad SOON as i get home i put it back in its dark box, its never exposed to light unless im wearing it. I have a sterling silver ring that I've had twice as long that looks brand new and hasn't darkened.

The necklace do have a matte look so I'm not sure if there is some kind of coating that may be causing this?

... Read moreSilver jewelry is beautiful but can tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture. This darkening occurs because silver reacts with sulfur compounds in the air. To effectively clean your tarnished silver necklace, consider using a gentle silver polish specifically designed for jewelry, or a homemade solution of baking soda and water. When cleaning, gently rub the solution with a soft cloth to avoid scratching the silver. It's important to rinse thoroughly and dry the necklace afterward to prevent any moisture from causing additional tarnishing. If your necklace has intricate designs or gemstones, ensure they are safe for these cleaning methods before proceeding. To minimize future tarnishing, store your silver jewelry in a cool, dry place, preferably in an anti-tarnish cloth or airtight container. This will keep the air exposure to a minimum. Regular wear can also help prevent tarnishing, as the oils from your skin can create a barrier against tarnish. If you're unsure about the coating on your necklace that may be contributing to the issue, consider seeking advice from a professional jeweler. They can offer insights into the materials used and how best to maintain your piece. Remember, proper care and cleaning can keep your silver jewelry looking brand new for years to come.

Real silver tarnishes and you just need a polishing cloth or cleaner. I work at a jewelry store❤️

Low Porosity Talk: Wash Day Mistakes - Day 2
One of the biggest mistakes beginners make with low porosity hair is using the same wash routine every single week. Low porosity hair has tightly compacted cuticles. Because moisture penetrates slowly and buildup forms easily, your hair’s needs shift depending on what is happening that week.
