    Sandi, if you have not tried the speed brite ionic cleaner to take
    the tarnish off silver I suggest you do. I was skeptical until a
    studio mate of mine who crocheted silver ran into this problem. How
    do you polish a mesh of crocheted silver wire.. instant disaster if
    you try. She bought one of the speed brite units and I was amazed. In
    seconds all the brown and black tarnish from months of storage was
    removed and the things looked brand new.... Give it try if you know
    someone who has one or if you can afford the $85 or $90 bucks. I use
    one for case tarnished gold as well as silver and it saves hours of
    polishing. Worth every penny you pay.(usual disclaimer goes here)
