Silver's rate of tarnishing in salt water
- Thread starter KinTN
- Start date
Really varied. Too many factors .(porosity,pureness etc)
Similar- certain silver rings (I used to wear) would turn black inside & out when I would sweat. Even stain my finger. Others would be unchanged for weeks.
You'll note similar effects from silver from beaches, soil, fresh saltwater.

Very interesting, guys. Thanks for posting.
I ask because my last trip to the beach I found a blackened ring in the dry and several untarnished (tho 2 had settings missing) earrings in the wet. Would have thought that the blackened one was dropped long ago based on the wet earrings' condition. Then compound that with when I find silver coins or rings in my acidic east TN soil, they are always pristine/untarnished. I guess I should have paid more attention in chem class.
