I don't understand how silver tarnishing works. Like I get it on a chemical level, but on a practical level, what the hell.

My necklace is 925 sterling silver. I have another 925 sterling silver necklace from a different jeweler and it gets all fucked up if you look at it the wrong way, but I've been wearing this one nonstop since I got it (the picture is the first time I've taken it off since I got it a few years ago), including while showering and stuff, and it never, ever tarnishes. I have a 925 sterling silver ring from *another* other jeweler that I only take off to clean the back of the gem, and that never tarnishes either.
