Regaining the tarnish on a silver ring (follow up)
Thanks to all for your suggestions!! Here is a followup.
The ring has spent the folowing: A couple of days in an egg white/yoke mix. . . no visible change (but the cleaning was 'interesting'). A couple of days in a baggy with an onion slice and a day with diced onion. . . no visible change. Two days in a baggy filled with propane (refilled for the second day). .. . . this time there was _some_ new tarnish. Looks like the gas is the 'leader' but just wearing it may be just as fast g. I think the wife will see if the jeweller has some "liver of sulfur" next time she is in Silverdale. Thanks again!! Bob rgentry at oz dot net |

If you are going to get some liver of sulphur and want to keep it for future use it needs to be stored in a specific way I am told, else it goes off. The jeweler should know.
