Black Streaks On Inside Bracelet Links
Anyone experience these and if so how do I remove them? The gold center links on the inside of the bracelet has some black streaks. Not sure if I can do anything about them or if I should even be worried about it. Also, does anyone know what causes them? Any information would be helpful. I should add that this picture is after I washed it with warm soapy water and a very soft toothbrush.

While they look black, they are really just small polished areas on the brushed surfaced caused by metal-to-metal contact of the clasp. If you fold your clasp over you will notice that it rubs right on those spots. It's normal wear.

I have the same exact marks on my TT bracelet....not much you can do. They become a little lighter after washing though
