Discolored Jump Rings

Hi All,

Has anyone experienced discoloration of the jump rings on Judith's necklaces? I've worn the status link with Fleur de lis necklace for several months now, and have noticed this ugly discoloration. Aren't these pieces 100% sterling silver? This discoloration sticks out like a sore thumb, making the piece look cheap. Thoughts?

Perhaps the main part of the piece is rhodium plated but the jump rings are not?

All I know is that the necklace is unwearable to me now. The jump rings are now copper colored and ugly. I am very disappointed.

Email Judith....I would think she would be concerned about it?

I would get some of the Precious Anti Tarnish spray and spray the jump rings. I've gotten it on Amazon. They could just be badly tarnished.

Take a magnet to the area of concern, magnets don't attract to sterling silver.
