How do you clean silver jewellery?

Question

Is they a good way of cleaning silver jewellery in particular a ring

Answer 1

This works for all silver, and it's really easy. In a glass bowl place a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom of the bowl, sprinkle 1-2 Tbsp baking soda and add warm water, deep enough to cover the silver you want to clean. Place tarnished silver in the bowl, make sure it touches the foil and is covered by the water. It will remove moderate tarnish in seconds, heavy tarnish in minutes. If you have dark etching to define a design, this process will remove that, so a series of dunking and rinsing should be used to ensure that you remove unwanted tarnish, but not your design enhancement.

Rinse your silver and polish to a high gloss with a soft cloth.

This works for large silver serving pieces as well....line the sink with foil and use 1/2 cup soda to 1/2 a sink of warm water.

Answer 2

Well I put my silvers in a silver bucket, such as a champagne bucket or maybe a silver pot...then add boiling water, a few lemon halves and a few scrunched up balls of tin foil, and soak the jewellery in that for a few moments, perhap after letting the water cool just a little, especially if its a delicate piece...then that should bring the sparkle back into your life!

Answer 3

I used this answer when someone asked about gold:
Connoisseurs jewelry cleaner. There's different formulas but you want the red one for your gold and gold with gemstones. There's a pink labeled one for delicate pieces and the silver label is for sterling. Be careful with the sterling cleaner because it's strong and may be too harsh on the more porous gems. Don't leave the silver in the silver cleaner for more than 15 seconds at a time and don't get it on your nails. If you want to check out their products, go to:

Answer 4

You can buy silver polish from the cleaning/laundry section in large supermarkets, usually near shoe polish and the like. If its only odd bits, I bought a cloth (made by Goddards) which is impregnated with silver cleaner, works really well and only cost a couple of pounds I think.

Answer 5

Get some jewellery cleaner from the jeweller/grocery/drugstore. If you don't want to do that, you can just use a bit of toothpast & some baking soda. Mix together, rub onto the jeweller for a bit & rinse well.

Answer 6

I use Hagertys Silver dip, only takes a few seconds then rinse clean. As already mentioned, if it is stone set take care.
Single crystal stones - diamonds,rubies and sapphires are OK but don't dip turquoise, opals and organic materials such as pearls, coral and amber.
Usually silver stays clean when it is warn regularly.

Answer 7

Go to Wal-Mart and get a silver jewelry polishing cloth (it's in the jewelry section). It lasts a long time and is just wonderful for silver jewelry.

Answer 8
