    Hi, For what it may be worth, some folks who use fine silver a lot,
    and have tried Argentium Sterling Silver have told me that they feel
    that the idea that fine silver does not tarnish is a bit of a myth,
    and that they find that Argentium Sterling tarnishes less/more slowly
    than fine silver. 

    In MY experience, Argentium Sterling is nearly tarnish-proof. I have
    not needed to clean anything that I've finished making with Argentium
    Sterling. I think it is simply honest to call Argentium Silver highly
    tarnish resistant rather than tarnish proof.
