<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 94780, member: 59"]I wouldn't think that chemical cleaning should be your first action. A lot of what's giving it the dark appearance is "gunk" - oils from being handled, dust and dirt. Polish won't remove that easily. And I just checked my jar of jewelry cleaner which makes no mention that it works on silver. Take it to a good local jeweler first and see if they think sonic cleaning will help. I've only had sonic cleaning done (professionally) on gold and diamond pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
