[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 2863468, member: 147"]I am of a belief that silver is meant to be polished, tarnish is damage and should be removed.

I also know that tarnish can cover marks and/or damage, polishing makes it easier to see both. JMHO PS I love those salts with blue glass inserts![/QUOTE]
