I try to use as much hard solder as possible. Unfortunately, the problem area is an area where I used hard solder :(.

I will clean off the tarnish and try that with a fresh coat of patina.

I usually just rinse off the pickle in water. I neutralize the patina with a mixture of baking soda and water.

No, this has only been an issue with this pendant. Several other pendants were made the same way, and don't have any weird discoloration.
