Here on the humid Oregon Coast, tarnish of sterling silver is common. To keep my jewelry from tarnishing, I use anti tarnish strips in my jewelry boxes and in small sealable bags to store my jewelry. These plastic strips are impregnated with compounds that retard tarnish and last for a few months. I often cut these strips into smaller pieces to storage in small bags. For more information, see "How to Care for Your Jewelry" at the bottoms of the page.
