Oh, I agree you did a great job cleaning your pieces! Didn't mean to imply otherwise.

I was referring to the loss of tarnish in the 'valleys' between the silver wires in your GJ tie clip - IMO having the black outline the silver aids in highlighting the elegance of the design, and IMO again is one of the charms (and thus the point) of getting something in silver. No worries though, I'm sure it'll return in time.

BTW, have you used anything on your silver pieces to keep them from tarnishing? :)

Apropos -- The pieces get an occasional buff with a silver polishing rag. That's about all it takes. BTW, I cleaned the tie clip MOSTLY to verify the hallmark AND to make sure that I got no nasty tarnish on my favorite ties!
