Haha, I wore a silver ring from my boyfriend, for about 4 years straight without ever removing it. I swam, showered, etc. It was totally fine until one day it just turned black overnight (I think it was because I swam in an over chlorinated pool??). Then I tried some internet remedy using baking soda and tinfoil, which added a lot of dings and dents (do not recommend!). That's the only reason it's so scratched up now, otherwise it was near perfect.
Lesson learned, definitely use a silver cloth when necessary and stay away from baking soda!
Haven't polished it since, over 10 years later, still shiny. Silver is a noble metal so it's pretty easy to care for!
Here's mine, would you care to share a photo of your new ring?
