Tarnish is such a nasty word for a beautiful process that is completely natural and even characteristic of the metal it is often used to describe. In fact, to say your Silver or Bronze is tarnished is like saying that glass of wine is sour grape juice. It misses the entire point and beauty of what makes the metal so characteristic and unique. That's why we prefer the word PATINA. Like a pair of well-worn and beloved jeans, bronze gets better with time.
