<p>[QUOTE="Jet, post: 1620392, member: 13952"]Nice pieces, and hard to find with original stones still intact. My mother and I had matching bracelets just like these, and were always loosing stones from them. Her quick fix was to replace them with a small lump of formed crayola crayon matching the color as closely as possible. Very few stones remained after wearing them for years. Personally, I like my silver polished too, and have found it sells better when the detail of the piece can been seen and appreciated, though all I ever use is a soft microfiber cloth, no polish, to remove the obvious surface dirt and allow the original beauty of the engraved work to shine, so to speak... when I see a piece that's dark and unclean, I wonder if it might have hidden flaws or repairs that can't be seen in photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
