<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9438523, member: 2844&quot;]I agree with your jeweler that it looks like some sort of chemical discolouration, although I don&#039;t know about soldering (heat induced).</p><p><br /></p><p>14k gold is an alloy of several metals, 58.5% gold with copper and another metal, usually silver, mixed in.</p><p>It looks like one of the non-gold metals reacted to a chemical. So that is the metal you have to treat. If you have a larger area of gold, like a ring or a pendant, professional buffing is usually best. But in this case there are thin twisted wires, which can&#039;t be buffed.</p><p><br /></p><p>A sunshine cloth, like [USER=29]@Ownedbybear[/USER] suggested, can be used to clean any metal, so that is always worth a try.</p><p>Other things you can try are silver polish or copper polish, because the discolouration could be related to the silver or copper in the alloy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Byzantine or king chain. The same as a Byzantine/king chain without the spacer rings.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
