I know I've seen a few of you post antique jewelry finds where the gold was alloyed with silver and nearly tarnished black. Well I've come across an example of sorts myself and was just curious if anyone found a particular at-home method better than others.
I normally use the foil/baking soda method to clean jewelry, especially tarnished sterling, but the stuff that is near black takes numerous soaks and still a polishing if that even gets the desired result at all.
Thinking the obvious choice is taking it to a jeweler and making it their problem , but anyone have some successful at home success?
Thanks for ideas!
