If possible buy different wire, a different brand of non-tarnish may work better. There are companies that make decent non tarnish silver plated wire. Try parawire.com, I've used some of their wires for french wire flowers, and wire wrap jewelry. I've used their non-tarnish copper and it was quite good, I'm fairly certain they have a non-tarnish silver plated!Have you considered a different guage of sterling? It's available in such a variety of gauges and in everything from dead soft to dead hard!





It could also be that if you're running beads along the wire you're removing the finish. I had this happen with the silver plated wire I used for the flowers in my sisters wedding bouqet last year! Fortunately for me the wire was completely covered with beads when I was finished, but in your case this could be truly problematic. If this is the case, I'd try a different brand or beads with larger holes.





Beyond that, there are spray fixatives, but if you're using beads or stones of any kind that are applied before the fixative, it may dull these components!

There are clear acrylic spray paints that are very easy to use. They're intended to seal crafts. Krylon makes one that's easy to use and is truly colorless. Any craft store ought to have it.
Store the object in a airtight bag and or wrap the object up in anti-tarnish cloth.
