Silver tarnishes, but does not develop a patina. People go to pains to keep silver items polished …they buy silver for it’s high luster.
Bronze and copper form a patina that protects or passivates it against further corrosion.
The tarnish that forms on silver degrades the silver. It leads pitting and degradation.
If you’d like something vintage buy something else, and keep the silver necklace for sometime in the future when you’d appreciate it more.
