Does sterling silver jewelry fade?

Answer:
Sterling silver can fade as it is coated with a substance called rhodium. Rhodium is a coating used on all white tone jewelry. It gives the jewelry its white color and shine. When this rhodium wears off due to wear and tear of the item, it can be replaced at a local jewelry store.
