Comments on: How do you wash silver jewelry so it looks clean and like new again? http://www.shapeyourself.net/silver-jewelry/how-do-you-wash-silver-jewelry-so-it-looks-clean-and-like-new-again Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:20:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Melissa H http://www.shapeyourself.net/silver-jewelry/how-do-you-wash-silver-jewelry-so-it-looks-clean-and-like-new-again/comment-page-1#comment-423 Melissa H Thu, 14 Jan 2010 20:19:59 +0000 http://www.shapeyourself.net/silver-jewelry/how-do-you-wash-silver-jewelry-so-it-looks-clean-and-like-new-again#comment-423 The absolute best product I have seen to clean silver jewelry are these wipes by Connoisseurs. They come in a red tub-like thing. Here is a link to what the tub looks like: http://www.lacywest.com/wipes.jpg I know they are sold at Kay Jewelers but I think the might also be at WalMart and other such places. These wipes remove ALL the tarnish and make your jewelry look GREAT, brand new! They have even worked on quarters that I am saving for the state quarter collection. From what I have always been told, you should not use any type of liquid cleaner on silver jewelry. Only dry cloths.<br><b>References : </b><br>I worked at Kay Jewelers 7+ years.

It's common and not dangerous to you... just looks bad! Without getting it professionally cleaned, your best option is to call a local jewelry store and see if they carry something called Sunshine Cloths. They are yellow, chemically treated (non-toxic) cloths, that do wonders for silver and gold jewelry. Just rub your pieces with the cloth and there you go. If you have a lot of detail in your jewelry (hard to reach areas) some jewelers carry the same Sunshine brand but in a liquid form. It comes in a little plastic bottle with a little scrub brush. In the end, use stuff designed to work on jewelry and you'll get good results.<br><b>References : </b><br> What’s happening is that the copped in the sterling silver (since sterling in 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper) is oxidizing.
