Does anyone know how to remove black antiquing from sterling silver jewelry?
I have a new ring I just bought that I really like but not the black antiquing that was used to bring out the detail – I prefer it to be all silver. I tried using Sparex acid disolved in hot water and left overnight but the blackening is still there. Does anyone know how to remove the blackening?
