The Big Problem With Silver
Do you love silver? We do too! But there’s a big problem. Most silver turns dark and ugly over time. This is called tarnish.
You buy a pretty silver gift. It shines at first. Then one day, you look at it – oh no! It’s not shiny anymore! It looks dirty and dull. This happens to rings. It happens to necklaces. It happens to all kinds of silver things.
This Makes People Sad and Mad
When silver gets dark, it makes you sad. You spent your money on something pretty. Now it’s not pretty anymore.
You have to clean it and polish it. This takes time. It takes work. And you have to do it again and again. Some people put their silver away in a drawer. They don’t wear it. They don’t show it. What’s the point of a gift you can’t use?
Good News! Some Silver Stays Shiny!
Here at Sixke, we have good news! Not all silver turns dark. Some types of silver stay shiny for a long, long time!
We make Custom Gifts that last. We use special silver that fights off tarnish. Your gifts from us will stay bright and beautiful.
Why Does Silver Turn Dark?
Before we talk about the fix, let’s see why this happens. Silver meets air. In the air, there’s a thing called sulfur. When sulfur and silver meet, they make silver sulfide. This is the dark stuff you see. Think of it like an apple slice that turns brown. The air changes it.
Types of Silver That Stay Shiny
Here’s a look at different kinds of silver and how they fight the dark stuff:
| Type of Silver | Does It Tarnish? | How Good Is It? | Why We Like It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Argentium Silver | Almost No | ★★★★★ | Has a special metal called germanium that fights tarnish |
| Rhodium – Plated Silver | No | ★★★★★ | Coated with a super metal that blocks air |
| Sterling Silver | Yes | ★★★ | The most common type, but needs cleaning |
| Pure Silver | Some | ★★★★ | Better than sterling but too soft for most gifts |
| Silver – Plated Items | Yes, Fast | ★★ | Just a thin coat of silver that wears off |
| Stainless Steel | No | ★★★★★ | Not real silver, but looks like it and never tarnishes |
The Best: Argentium Silver
At Sixke, we love Argentium silver. It’s our top pick for gifts that stay shiny.
Argentium has a special metal mixed in. This metal is called germanium. It fights off the dark stuff like a superhero.
Our S925 Personalized Projection Necklace uses this amazing silver. You can wear it every day without worry!
Rhodium-Plated: The Shield of Shine
Another great choice is rhodium-plated silver. Think of rhodium like a force field around your silver. It’s a super-strong metal that blocks the air from touching the silver. No air contact means no tarnish!
Our Heart-Shaped Crystal Pendant with Custom Photo uses this special coating to stay brilliant for years.
What About Regular Sterling Silver?
Most silver is sterling silver. It’s 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. The copper makes it strong. But it also makes it tarnish faster.
Don’t worry! We can help sterling silver too. At Sixke, we use anti-tarnish tricks to help all our silver gifts last longer.

The Science Behind Our Shine
What makes our silver special? Let’s look at the big words in simple terms:
Argentium silver has germanium in it. This little metal does something amazing. It forms a clear, thin layer on top of the silver. This layer keeps air out. No air means no dark stuff!
Rhodium plating puts a thin coat of super-strong metal on top. Rhodium never tarnishes. It’s like a permanent shield.
