Signed Sterling
Will this "Sterling Silver" necklace rust?
I want to buy this snake chain necklace from Target. I usually never take off my necklaces and shower with them. Will this rust or turn black soon or is it ligit?
Here is the target link to the necklace

Sterling silver does not rust. However, you can help keep it clean and shiny by following the suggestions below.
1. Always wipe with a damp cloth after wearing, and before storage to remove any oils that might have built up on your necklace while you wore it.
2. Never apply lotion or perfume while wearing it. Always apply it BEFORE you put on any kind of jewellery.
3. Keep your jewellery stored individually in zip-lock bags, away from heat and light.
4. If you find it tarnishing, stay away from harsh chemical cleaners that tend to strip a layer of silver. Instead opt for all natural cleaners you have in your house such as toothpaste, baking soda and even anti-dandruff shampoo. Take a bit, rub it in for a few seconds (or a minute depending on how tarnished it is,) wash off with lukewarm water and dry very well.
Lastly, whenever shopping for jewellery, keep in mind that sterling silver MUST be stamped with .925 (at least in the US & North America) for it to be true sterling silver. In Europe, you might get instances where it simply says "sterling silver" or "fine silver" in lieu of .925.
Hope this helps!
