Is it possible?
Silver tends to react with my skin, and with a month or less of wearing something made of silver, it becomes black.
Is it possible to stop this from happening? I know it doesn't happen to everyone, but I - and a few other members of my family - don't seem to be able to have anything silver.
Have you tried one of those special clothes for cleaning tarnish off silver ?

Clear nail varnish.
Sudocrem.

I used to be one but I'm alright nowooooooOOOOOOOOOO!
I wear a gold chain (no not that sort it's a very subtle thin one)!!
Bit of a scrub with an old tooth brush in the sink, with warm water and a squirt of general purpose cleaner once every 6 months or so brings the shiny right back.

There's not a pair of eyewear that can stop the glare...
Its just oxidization, you cant stop it happening. Some skins make it happen faster.
Get a tub of silver dip, chuck it in and rinse off. If its something with Oxidisation in recesses as part of the design like a lot of silver is these days bear in mind the dip will strip that as well so you might be better off with a silver polishing cloth for a bit more control.
I wear mostly silver, and on occasion the old curb watch chain I wear round my neck goes black, but giving it a scrub and carrying on wearing it the outer parts get their shine back, the inner parts stay black, which for me makes it look better, it’s natural aging and patina, and gives contrast as well.
I’ve been wearing it on and off for around thirty years, with a variety of different things hanging from it, originally an ivory heart, more recently various sharks teeth, the latest a black fossil one related to modern Tiger sharks, mounted on thick silver wire by me, and hung on a thin silver ring I had which a goldsmith mate bent into a rounded triangle.
I’ve got a couple of heavy woven silver bracelets which have gone black inside, but continued wear keeps the outside polished silver.
Probably just regularly washing and giving the outside a polish with one of those silver polishing cloths would keep the outside shiny, without losing the natural aging patina of any detail.
