Hi Jeanette

    this might be a problem to do with the customer and not you. A number
    of years ago I worked in a jewellery store here in town and we had
    one man who brought his heavy sterling chain in about every 2 months
    or so. Something in the chemistry of his skin turned the silver black
    (and I do mean BLACK). It took quite a while to clean off the black
    as well. The funny part was that the first time it turned black was
    in spite of the fact that it was rhodium plated. Of course the first
    repolish removed that. Before the first repolish I also tried to
    clean in ultra sound and then pickle to no avail.
