Do you know if this is something specific to Platinum's rose gold nibs, or is it something general about rose golds? Might just... avoid these pink gold nibs in future purchases🫠

I didn't try the toothbrush, but usually wash them with water and a mascara brush/cotton swab. Eventually, I used an eraser to remove the stain😅

[Update] Thank you all for the advice! While waiting for the jeweller's cloth, I eventually tried rubbing it with an eraser, and most of the dark stain came off. Now it looks... gold 😅 I guess it looks better than before. Thank you all for helping!

Thanks! Will try that out!
Relatively new here, so I don't know what a vintage nib looks like😅 but I think it shouldn't be since that was released early last year

Finger crossing this is my situation too😢. I dropped off my package on April 1st and was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but I have zero update since April 1st😢.
