Sterling Silver Adjustable Ring Blank Heart Bezel Winged Mounting

Sterling silver is an alloy containing metals that react with chemicals found in the air and produce tarnish; high moisture levels, exposure to sunlight, and contaminants such as salt water increase this reaction. Take steps to protect your sterling findings by keeping them in airtight packages, use tarnish-resistant products (such as tarnish tabs or strips) that absorb harmful chemicals, and store sterling findings in a cool, dry place. Most tarnish is easily removed by polishing with a mild abrasive or soaking in an anti-tarnish solution.
