    The nailpolish before getting rid of the oxydation would keep this blackening in place:nailbiting:
    Time for tarnex first! (In this case or on oxidized vermeil only!)

    Isn't tarnex the devil's work?:vamp: Or is the devil's work the only way to tackle this problem?:nailbiting:

    Devil be damned!... I use Tarn-X all the time! Just a small amount is needed.
    It hasn't ruined anything I own yet!

    As I stated previously, a bit of Tarn-X dabbed on the broken out area with a small brush. Followed by a quick rinse with water. Then inexpensive matching frosty blue nail polish.

    Any further crumbling areas can be bolstered with clear glue, like Duco cement or even super glue. It's like a surgical procedure requiring a very delicate touch.

    This piece is beautiful but badly damaged. Anything is an improvement, yes?

    A very wise man once said to me:
    "It's mine and I'll f**k it up if I want to!"
    Words to live by.

    Exactly!
    it can be as dreadful as the aluminum foil and salted water trick on deeply oxidized silver:nailbiting:
    Leave the silver white but in raw state:arghh:
    Stracci method is the way to go:)
