The back of #2 doesn&#039;t look that bad, take a Sunshine cloth to it and it should clean up a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>A warning, do not wash rhinestone jewelry, the moisture will damage the foil backing and over time they will turn dull and blackish. If you need to clean the fronts use a very soft toothbrush, dip it in alcohol, shake the excess off and brush the stones. Have a hair dryer standing by and immediately blow it dry. Make sure you use a very soft brush, the AB is a surface coating and can scratch easily.</p><p><br /></p><p>My hunch on the cranes is AN revival. The clasp doesn&#039;t look like a replacement to me.
