Default Help! I ruined my sterling silver letter beads in jewelry cleaner!

Help! I ruined my sterling silver letter beads in jewelry cleaner! The
black letters dissolved,
so all I have left is the engraved letters. Does anyone have any suggestions
on how I can fix
these beads? (I have 15 letter beads in my bracelet, so it's too expensive
to replace them!)

Thanks in advance.
Julie

You can get a product called Silver Black. It iwll re-oxidize them. You
will need to dip them (take apart your bracelet) and turn them black
then polish off the high parts with a silver polish cloth.

It'll be okay! Don't worry! Get some silver black.....I'm sure others have
explained this already. They're not ruined.

If you give them time they will turn black all by themselves. Just
keep the high spots polished.
