I inherited some lol.
There is something nice about the way light bounces off of well polished silver that’s different from steel, no matter how well polished the steel is.
But you’re completely rigid on any practical level. Just the degree of upkeep is prohibitive.

Ok, we don’t polish the inherited silverware, that’s why.

I switched to using preservation stuff a while back myself. Renaissance wax does the job, since we never actually use it. Just sits there looking pretty, no target’s tarnish at all.
That being said, I do have some silver pieces that I let tarnish that aren’t inherited, just because I dig the look of it personally
