Yellowed Swarovski crystals

Is there any way to clean crystals in a necklace that have yellowed?

I have my eye on a necklace on Vinted and I don't know if it'll just need a good clean like old silver does or if it's past it.

If it's Swarovski it's usually not set in silver, just a plated base metal. It's likely just lost plating over time, it can't be polished up.

The rhodium is perfect still it's the actual crystals that have discoloured. I've managed to knock the seller down to £6 so not a great loss if I can't clean it.
