[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4614432, member: 2844"]Was it lustrous when your family first got it? The surface looks fine to me. Unless it is very grimey I would just dust it. And I wouldn't advise using sandpaper on an authentic Inuit piece, or many other pieces for that matter. Before you proceed with any cleaning, rubbing, glueing, it is best to wait for [USER=346]@Mark London[/USER] , his advice is best. As an aside: We have heard the rancid olive oil theory here before and it has been discussed every time, us European members have never had olive oil go rancid. I haven't had other food grade oils go rancid either. Is it a US problem?[/QUOTE]
