I think your jewelry is fried. You could try getting plating done, but I think it would be better to replace it.


ETA: I tried googling reverse oxidation, I found a few things you could try:

Yes you can fix it. You try just a regular silver cleaner. I think the creamy kind works the best. You can find it at the grocery in the cleaning supply section. You can also try toothpaste. Not the gel kind, the OG paste kind. Use a dry cloth and smear it on the necklace and rub it off with the cloth. It may take a couple times to get it off but it should work. Don't forget to rinse in between. HTH!

I think you can try plain baking soda and a toothbrush, too. If that doesn't work, then go for the jewelry cleaner (sorry, but I go for the cheapest solution first ). Good luck!

Tootpaste actually works well but the best thing is Tarn-x, no scrubbing. It's about $5 at Walmart.

You'll have to do a corrective perm now....






j/k everyone else already made sensible responses..

The above responses (excluding Whimsy ) will take that oxidation right away. Relaxer is not THAT dangerous.
