What is .925 sterling silver and Rhodium plating and do they tarnish?

0

Sterling silver is a mixture of 92.5% silver and 7.5% of copper. Sterling silver does tarnish when they come in contact with gases like Sulfur in the atmosphere. In order to avoid this, most of our items have a plating of Rhodium on top of it. However, these coatings will wear off in time at which point of time, your jewelry needs cleaning in order to remove the unwanted effect.
