Hi all! My DH bought himself a gunmetal (oxidized???) silver David Yurman chain last year. He wore it while golfing in Spain and it became badly tarnished from the sunscreen he was wearing. On his return, he dropped it into a silver dip solution and polished the heck out of it, obviously ruining the gunmental look. Is there anything that can be done, or is he stuck with this gorgeous shiny chain? I thought about just leaving it out to darken a wee bit.  By the way, how would you clean gunmetal or oxidized silver safely??

I would send it back to David Yurman and have them re-oxidize it. It is a service that they provide, they may charge you for it, but it will look like it did when new! I wish you well, Bridget Pterodactyls rule. Except for the whole being extinct thing. |

don't ever dip silver it ruins it. use the polishing paste instead.

If a jewler told you they had a dip that worked really really well would you run away from that jewler? One told me this today.

a quick dip in gemcare shouldn't hurt it. I dip to get the grease off the diamond and then take it out right away to polish it with the cloth. The oxidation is chemically induced and should not just float away in a dip. But don't soak it, just dip it. And really, that is why DY provides the care cloths- unless you have stones, you should really only need the cloth.
