Has anyone had a problem wearing silver neck chains? im finding they turn black, does anyone know why.
 
the silver oxidises, buy a good silver cleaner which should sort it out.... either that or try and live in a nitrogen filled bubble (you won't last long but your jewelery won't tarnish) 😛:D
 
I use a bracelet (Talisman) .
My first one was silver and tarnished, so now I use a stainless steel one and am finding it too heavy.
If you win the lottery or have excess disposable income, a gold chain would be excellent. Gold is fairly inert and won't tarnish.
 
my sister bought me a gold medical alert pendant for my 21st to go with the gold chain my folks bought me as i cant wear silver due to the fact i sweat excessive so it tarnishes very quickly and also irritates my skin. they are not to expensive to buy and are a sound investment as it also alerts people to the fact you have a medical condition to.

I had the same problem so now opt to just carry a card in my wallet
