Why does my Tiffany bracelet tarnish?

A Tiffany bracelet may tarnish due to the properties of sterling silver. When this precious metal comes in contact with chemicals, high humidity levels, chlorine, sweat and salty air or water, a reaction occurs that leads to tarnishing. Tiffany & Co. sells a care kit to help you polish and clean sterling silver in order to reduce the risk of this occurring. You can also lower the likelihood of tarnishing by not wearing your bracelet when you're swimming, showering, performing household chores or spending time in humid, hot weather.
