It is tarnish resistant as it has been rhodium plated. The rhodium plating provides a layer of defense against the tarnish that happens to sterling silver. However, with many years of wearing it, the rhodium plating can wear off and begin to tarnish. In that case, a jeweler could polish it, and reapply rhodium plating.
It's best with all of your sterling silver jewelry to keep it in a zip lock back when not wearing it, Just in case there is an exposed part that the rhodium is wearing thin on. Keeping it stored this way keeps oxygen off of the silver, which causes the tarnish.
