Sometimes when making a piece of jewelry the findings I need just aren't the right color.  I'll need say a bright silver finding, and all I'll have is an antique silver finding.  I've found that using nail polish remover on a cotton swab will remove the black, and I'm left with that bright silver finish I needed.  I'll rinse with water, then polish with a jewelry cloth.  Works for antique gold findings too.  Hope this helps someone else too.
