    It would seem that your brass underneath is tarnishing...You could
    dip them into a tarnish remover and rub down with a baking soda
    paste. But it would only last for a short while...Maybe your pieces
    need to be replated-perhaps a sealer of some type and then re-apply
    the gold plate..I'd check with a professional plating shop. There are
    several here in the Bay Area.. 

Good luck,
