Silver items can be tarnished due the nature silver when they are
exposed to oxygen or sulfur. The purpose of white-plating is to prevent the
tarnish by decreasing the contact of the item with oxygen. However, there is still a possibility that your necklace or bracelet
tarnishes by particular
substances. Also, when it tarnishes by those substances, it may look more
smeared.
For these reasons, we recommend plating
when it is for gift but not recommend plating when it will be a daily item.
