Bronzo Italia bracelet - should it "tarnish"?

[reflexgirl]

I bought the tsv bronzo bracelet a few weeks back, lovely, liked it. Worn it a few times and kept it in my preserve jewellery box. However I was looking at it and it seemed dull and when i put my glasses on (groan) to look I noticed the oval rings under the 3 round rings were black. This was last week, I cleaned it with a tissue which was awkward but it just seems to come back - even if you put your little finger inside on of the round links, twist it a bit, your finger is black. Sadly I returned it yesterday as it will drive me mad. Anyone else had this problem? Should it do this do you think. I bought a bangle too which is fine.

I'd be returning this to QVC after requesting a peraid label off course

If the bracelet really is bronze then yes it will. Bronze jewellery goes green on me.

I've been wearing the same TSV bracelet pretty much daily and mine is fine. I just hope it stays that way.

Isn't bronze a mix if copper and tin? If it is then the copper element of it will tarnish I'd have thought. Copper is the reason that some rose gold tarnishes.
