We once had a customer tell us that she accidentally dropped a sterling silver necklace behind some furniture. There it sat for almost a year until she was doing some spring cleaning and discovered it. My how it had tarnished! Our customer took some cleaning solution to the necklace, but it still wasn’t looking its best. She wore it anyway, thinking it had a nice aged look. After a few days of wearing this necklace, she noticed that it started looking shinier and shinier.
