So I recently bought a cheap pair of antique cufflinks. They look pretty good except for a few black spots on what I'm assuming is mother of pearl. Are these spots permanent? Is there a way to remove them? I see them pretty often on other MOP pieces as well. S20180804_001.jpg

Likely those are natural blemishes and the color is what it is, but it could also just be grime. You could wet a soft microfiber cloth and rub very lightly to see if it comes off. I would not soak them.
