Useful Facts about Tarnishing
Noble metals like gold and silver do not tarnish. However, copper, nickel, zinc, and a variety of other metals oxidize or tarnish in contact with the sulphides in the environment. Because of this, the color isn’t darkening as a result of silver, but rather due to alloys. The yellowish tint and even green stains can be found on your skin after putting on the jewellery.

Only men who spent their whole adult life in the last century wore a wedding band, which is most likely to be a medal or cross if they were raised Catholic.
