What happens if sterling silver gets wet?

I just got a new necklace that I never want to take offIt is cubic zirconium and sterling silverIs that ok to wear in the shower?

Answer:

Yes it's fineI haven't taken mine off in years except to clean itHowever, if it starts to get tarnished, you can polish it with a polishing cloth or line a small bowl with aluminum foil and put a tsp of baking soda with hot water and dip the chain in it for a minute then rinse with cool water and wipe with a cloth.
Your answer is to use copper foil shieldingIt is costly and can be ordered through many electronic supply companies.
