Silver darkens due to a chemical reaction between the metal and sulfur compounds in the air. Moisture in the air can accelerate this reaction, so if you keep silver in a damp place, you will notice it darkens faster. Silver can also be tarnished by hand oils and sweat, creams, perfumes, and certain food products, such as eggs, mayonnaise, and onions. For these reasons, it is practically impossible to completely avoid silver tarnishing, according to Good Housekeeping.
