Question
Hi,
I just went swimming in a sulfar pool, and my silver necklace turned black.
I was wondering if there was a solution that would turn it back to silver.
Thanks
Marc
No. You can have it cleaned or clean it yourself, but that surface layer will be lost. If you can find a jeweler with an electrochemical setup, some of it may be reversed with electricity. Are you sure it is silver? Sounds more like it may have other metals present.
