How do I clean a sterling silver ring?

Answer 1

rub with a soft cloth dipped in baking soda, use a toothbrush to scrub if needed. rinse well in warm water and buff dry with another cloth


line a small bowl with aluminum foil, shiny side up. fill the bowl with hot water and mix in 1 tbs of bleach free powdered laundry soap (not liquid). put the jewelry in the solution and let soak for one minute. rinse completely and air dry

Answer 2

Go to Walmart in the jewelry department, and pick up the liquid sterling silver cleaner. I believe it is in a silver container. You drop your ring in for 15 seconds{it has a little basket inside with a post to drop rings on. Take it out of the solution, run it under warm water for a couple of seconds, and dry off. You may have to do it twice, if it's really tarnished. I also use a small[like baby toothbrush] to clean inside the inner part of the ring and any parts with scroll work or designs etc. Your can use a q-tip instead of a toothbrush. Also, you may want to rub it for a few minutes while your drying it off,best with like a terry cloth towel. The solution tells you to be careful of semi-precious {or soft gem stones} but I have never had a problem with any of mine and I have stones like Onyx Pink Quartz, Topaz, cz, and Mother of Pearl and Mystic Fire Topaz. Never has hurt any of mine, just makes them shine!

Answer 3

you can buy several silver and brass cleaners at any store really, even the grocery stor has them. I often use one called Twinkle.
However, I recently heard that fizzy stuff that is made for cleaning dentures( I think it is called Efferdent)works really well. Just drop the fizzy tablets in a cup of water and drop in your silver or gold rings. It cleans all of the icky gunk out of the crevices on the ring, and makes it all sparkly.
Good luck!

They sell jewelery cleaner, you can get it at any jeweler or Target or Wall mart. It does a great job. You could try baking soda and a little water, and make a paste Rub that on the ring, leave it for awhile and then rinse it off and buff it with a soft cloth. You might want to do it again.
