Yellowish color in LCD area. Silver bath

Yellowish deposit in LCD area of silver plating from a cyanide bath. I am plating sterling silver chain. HCD areas are good and white.

Thank you

Ollie, what type of cyanide did you use, maybe there is some sodium cyanide in the silver solution. Sodium cyanide will colour the silver to yellow.
