DO NOT GET MAD
I love antiques, statues, etc. I am visiting India next year, if I buy a piece of Ivory can I take it out of India and get it into the United States?
Another question, I saw somewhere on the internet you can only take a certain amount of gifts out of India 0.00, is this correct? Or is it that if I buy my daughter a gold bracelet, I just have to pay the Tarif tax, if it is over that amount?

if it is silver, dip it in chlorine bleach. Or use liver of sulfite which is available at most craft stores. I have also gently
heated silver over an open flame to darken it. If it is not silver, good luck with that.
Put it in the pocket of your jeans, and then wash and dry your jeans. Also, try..(if its fake) scraping the metal covering off and band it up by leaving it outside for a night, or you can even throw it on the ground or at the wall. Either way!
well my dad had a ring over the summer when we went to Florida and when he went in the ocean,the salt water tarnished it.it looks really cool now…i would say get some sea salt and put it in warm water and leave the necklace in there for a while and when the water gets cooled down,repeat the same thing.
Well, I don’t know what the necklace is made of but if it’s silver, you can tarnish it very easily with a boiled egg. Just rub the egg york onto the necklace.
If your necklace is too shiny, you might want to "antique" it with some scratches since most of the old jewelry surface are covered with fine scratches from the years of handling. You can do this with soft metal brush or just rub it against something hard like concrete wall
