Hi Noel,

    I had this happen to me with a pendant.  I could never figure out
    whether the jewelry or the fabric was at fault.  The easiest cure is
    to lacquer the back of the piece.  In your case that won't work, at
    least not if it's the snake chain that's leaving the stain.  I hate
    to suggest it, but the best solution may be to have the piece rhodium
    plated.

    Obliged?  No.  But it couldn't hurt as a measure of good will.  Did
    she suggest it?
