Nothing you can do BUT take it to a jeweler. They will re-dip it into gold (because your necklace was gold-plated, they must plate it with gold again).

She has 2 necklaces she wears on the show!! "One is a gold pendant engraved in Sanskrit with ?Abhaya? meaning ?Fearlessness.? You can purchase it on Joyful Heart?s web site (www.joyfulheartfoundation.org). The other necklace I wear is called the "Studio Waterfall." It's a yellow sapphire and diamond necklace from Michael Eigen Jewelers!!" Its for both her character and for Mariska,"The necklace Benson wears is part of Mariska Hargitay's real life. She spends a lot of her own time outside of the show working with sexual assault victims. One cause she is deeply involved in is the Joyful Heart Foundation, which is committed to the healing of rape and sexual assault victims. The pendant Mariska wears is called the ?Fearlessness Necklace? and 100% of its sale profits go directly to the Joyful Heart Foundation.

Question: How can I clean a necklace that is not gold?
Okay, so my boyfriend bought me a heart locket last Christmas that is really special to me and I wear it all of the time, so now it's dirty and has lost its luster. It is not real gold, but I think it is sterling silver. It's engraved with my name also. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to clean it without it rusting? Should I take it to a professional cleaner, which I really do not want to do.

There are several electronic jewelry cleaners on the market. You put the item in a basket with the cleaning solution, turn it on and a motor in the unit vibrates causing sonic waves in the solution. The waves help the solution get in the nooks and crannies of the item and bring back the shine.

You may think this is daft, but get some pepsi or the other drink cocoala and put some in a glass, and put your necklace in and leave overnight. you be surpised how well it comes up bright and shiny. It wont hurt it either.

Question: question about gold necklace?
okay. so I wore a gold necklace today in the pool. hot tub. shower. it didnt turn my neck green. that means.. its real? riight.

Answer: actually that only happens with silver. and it's ...
actually that only happens with silver. and it's probably fake if you even have to ask this question. who ever gave it to you would've told you it's real. and if you bought it then you should've known if it was real or not before you paid for it.???

Answer: That means that it isn't made out of a cheap metal. What ...
That means that it isn't made out of a cheap metal. What it doesn't mean is that the necklace is made of solid gold or any other precious metal. Most likely, it is some middle of the road metal that is gold plated or painted in gold leaf. I have a "gold" Harry Potter necklace and it doesn't turnneck green, but I know by the price and weight of the chain that it's only plastic or metal alloy coated in something that looks like gold. The only jewelery that will turn your skin green is jewelery that contains copper. Cheap gold jewelery can still turn your skin green if it has a very low karat rating. The lower the rating, the less pure gold there is and the more of other metals that are mixed with it. Nickel can also change skin color as well as cause a nasty rash if you're allergic.

Why don't you look at the stamp? Real gold will have a stamp (10K... 14K... 18K... 24K... and it should only be the number and a K... if there's anything else, like GP, or something, its not real... GP means gold-plated...) If there's no stamp, it's not real.
