<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 680144, member: 5398&quot;]Beautiful chain.&nbsp; I&#039;m thinking it&#039;s either rolled gold plated or gold filled, which uses a thicker sheet of gold over brass or copper than plated metal. Your chain probably has copper sandwiched between two sheets of gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect you could brighten it up with a polishing cloth. It won&#039;t take off the gold surface, but will shine up any exposed copper so it more closely matches the gold. Another option, which may horrify some, is to test one link with 0000 steel wool; if it brightens it up, you could gently rub it along the length of chain. I do that with tarnished antique gold filled or rolled gold watch chains and bangle bracelets.&nbsp; When done gently, it doesn&#039;t scratch the surface and really brightens up the whole piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
