Featured Danish Silver Necklace Marks - Help

Have you used any polish on it? A sunshine cloth? How did you get the grime off?

 

Thank you for this. I was looking at a cabochon three tiered necklace today that was said to be carnelian and an orange stone. The carnelians were a warm brownish red.

 

Does look like there are letters inside.

 

Just a sunshine cloth. I have polish but was told here never to use it.

 

Well I could try a dab of polish on a q-tip?

 

You could, just be careful not to goop it up or get any on the stones.

 

OK. I'll go and see if I can find the polish. I may have thrown it away but I can get some tomorrow

 

Kiko's looks like garnet,possibly almandine she needs to shine a light through the stone.

 

Exactly.

 

Wright's Silver Cream, you put it on and polish with a damp sponge and rinse with water so no polish collects and dries to a crust in the crevices

 

@Bronwen @Hollyblue
Is this what to do? or perhaps the second one? I'll try again, if it isn't right.

 

Thanks for this.

 

Love it in coral.

 

Wow, a really nice find. Congratulations!

 

Try using the tip of a wooden toothpick on the mark, I usually nibble on the tip a bit to make it a bit damp, softer and broader, the wood won't hurt the silver (and enzymes in saliva are a gentle cleanser)...

Thank you. Most of what I buy and post here or do my own research on goes back. I keep the special pieces. I will tell them what I found out, so they can attribute it and price it accordingly.

 

OH. Great idea. The polish and q tip didn't make a difference.

 

Thank you Lucille. I had no idea it was something special.

 

I looked and that's what I have. Thank you.
