    The majority of posts have to do with keeping polished silver from
    tarnishing.  Well, I'm about to turn the tables.  How can I keep
    blackened silver black? I've been making silver work that is
    blackened and some clients have balked because they fear the black
    will wear off (which it will if they wear it a lot), especially the
    rings.  So, I'd like to offer them a trick that they can use to keep
    the work black.  I'd love to have some product that fits in a box or
    baggie that the client could just store the item in and it would
    recolor whatever silver was exposed from wear, but even homespun
    methods are acceptable as long as it isn't gross and/or smelly.  

    Any ideas?

    weeks and finding myself in a cash flow and time management
    crunch...man, I hate it when that happens
