VCA necklace tarnished/damaged?
I’ve had this Van Cleef necklace for six years, and the bracelet version for about four. I was just cleaning my jewelry and noticed the necklace motif looks dark and even like there’s a black gap between the outer frame and the inner motif. It may be harder to tell in the photo but in real life, it’s pretty noticeable. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or idea on what caused this and what I can do. I cleaned it several ways, but am worried about the gap. I’ll probably take it to the store, but wanted to consult everyone first! Thanks!
