[Jewelry making - Article 01324] - [Orchid] Controlling humidity & tarnishing in showcases

    In my never-ending efforts to combat silver tarnish, I'm wondering
    if reducing the amount of moisture in the showcases would also reduce
    the rate that the jewelry tarnishes while on display? 

    A company called ULINE (phone # 800-295-5510) sells various sized
    bags of desiccant, calcium chloride, and silica gel (page 249 of
    their catalog) at seemingly very reasonable prices. However, I don't
    know which product would be best (desiccant, calcium chloride, or
    silica gel?) and I don't know if any of these products gives off any
    other gases that would be even more harmful & negatively affect the
    silver.
