<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 128222, member: 36"]It's the acid that gets the job done. If you want to apply acid, jewelry dealers use American ketchup to clean oxidation off costume items. Sit the ketchup on the affected area and let sit a few hours. Wipe with a damp cloth. The ketchup doesn't ruin rhinestones or run into porous gemstones and damage them. I'd be careful of immersing these in liquid if any of the parts are steel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
