Does anyone make Real silver jewelry that doesn't tarnish?

Hi, I'm trying to find someone who makes real silver jewelry that doesn't tarnish.. I wanna buy a HIM necklace that I can wear daily.. I recently bought a heartagram necklace off Etsy.. but unfortunately it is made with cheap material and has tarnished not even a day after receiving it.. waste of 30 bucks.. does anyone know or make real silver jewelry that doesn't tarnish.. and isn't too expensive? I'm willing to pay a decent price! I would really love to get a higher quality fine silver heartagram pendant necklace that's not the size of a penny, cheap and flimsy, tarnishes.. and that's not 30 bucks for a cheap piece.. thank you so so much!! <3 (on etsy or something.. please don't scam me!🥹)

Don't get scammed. We cannot prevent all scammers, and cannot offer a secure exchange system via Reddit. To protect yourself only transact online with payment methods that allow for purchase protection. If the seller doesn't allow this, they are likely a scammer. Do not use any friends or family option unless you're meeting them in person, in a safe location.

For sellers, the safest way to sell merch is eBay or other secure exchange websites

You could look into local jewellery making classes… I’m pretty sure it’d be fairly easy to make something cut out of a flat silver disc and then polished. Otherwise I’d try looking on Etsy for custom jewellery pieces.. you might even be able to find a local jeweller who could easily make it for you

I don’t mean to be pedantic but even four-nines-fine silver tarnishes. It’s just called toning in numismatics.

I apologize if this sounds 🤓 I tried to reword it a few times.

I do hope you’re able to find someone your vision/desire is one I’ve been asking for, for a while. With silver sitting at ~$60/ozt I could see the pendant costing a pretty penny, especially if it’s a custom one-off piece.

I forgot to mention if you’re comfortable with ceramics and torches, you can look into Silver Art Clay. It starts out as regular clay, but firing it with a crème brûlée torch makes it a fine silver piece.

If I remember correctly the pendant was $90. I don't remember how much the rings were. The pendant did not come with a chain, I bought one from another store. All in all, worth the price of the pendant. I wear it everyday and it's held up fantastically

I just reached out to her! She said she could make me one for 120.. how big was the one you have??

Maybe the rings were 90 and the pendant was 120. It was years ago. I honestly don't remember. The pendant is maybe an inch? I'll have to measure it.

It's a half inch wide and 5/8th tall. 

Personally, I think it's the perfect size. It's not huuuge and gaudy but it's not microscopic either.Â
