    I am embarrassed that I didn't proofread this post before sending
    it. Some of it is next to incoherent. Here it is in a form that makes
    sense: 

    I would like to ask those of you who offer sterling omega chains
    with your jewelry if you have had the same problems I have. I have
    been frustrated with the surface quality of the chains I have gotten
    in the past. There have been areas of uneven coloration and because
    they are electroplated with a layer of fine silver, they cannot be
    polished to remedy that. I was frustrated with winding up with chains
    that I could not offer for sale because they looked bad so I decided
    to change sources. I ordered from a different company on the
    recommendation of a fellow Orchidian. The order I just received
    contains chains that have a surface that, though it is supposed to be
    high shine, looks semi-mat under slight magnification. The surfaces
    appear to have friction-type abrasions on them. One of the chains has
    spots that are definitely lighter than the rest of the surface--even
    visible to the naked eye. I don't know whether this is as good as it
    gets or whether I should send these back and ask for a refund. I am
    not thrilled with the way they look but don't know where to find a
    source for a better quality at a reasonable price. Shipping gets
    expensive when you have to return the order again and again.
