Silver turned black, what should I do?

I need some advise. I left a piece of silver jewelry in the jewelry cleaner too long and it turned black and it won't come off at all. I've also taken it to several jewelry stores and they couldn't fix it either. What should I do?

You probably are going to have to polish it out with something like a moto tool and a very fine abrasive.
