will sterling silver turn black/green or darker over time?
if so, how can this be fixed?
Usually, wearing the item - eg: a ring will result in the tarnish being "polished off" by casual and repeated contact by you during the day.
If however you took your sterling silver jewellery off and left it near, for example, egg yolk, matches or other sulphur bearing compounds, then tarnish may occur.
It is not oxidation of the silver that occurs (oddly enough), but the base metals that goes with it - hence why some sterling silver is over plated with pure silver - FAR less likely to tarnish.
Additionally, it is NOT the reaction with air, but with sulphur. To reduce this happening to silver items (eg: cutlery), store some common blackbaord "chalk" in the drawer along with the cutlery. This will help to absorb most of the sulphur in the air.
An alternative is to use Alum soaked blotting paper - 3M sell this product for about £5 / $10 for a few strips but you can make it yourself for pennies. But blotting paper, make a VERY strong solution of alum in HOT water, soak paper in solution and let dry. pop a sheet of paper in with your cutlery.
Lastly, if items DO tarnish, sit them on some aluminium foil, add some hot water, a few spoons of salt and a few spoons of sodium bicarbonate. So long as the silver touches the aluminium, you will get an electrolytic reaction which will convert the tarnished silver back to bright silver - easy AND it doesn't end up in your silverware beomcing "polished away" over time.
