How to Clean Silver Jewelry

silverjewelry

Silver jewelry is beautiful and offers great durability. However, with any exposure to humidity, silver will tarnish. This tarnish will quickly build, leaving you with a dark black coating in place of your shiny silver. Fortunately, there are several methods to quickly restore your silver to its original beauty.

Salt and Foil Method

You Will Need:

Aluminum foil
Water
Salt
Soft cloth
Small jar or bowl (depending on size of jewelry)

The Cleaning Process:

Fill the jar or bowl about half full with hot water.
Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the jar or a couple of tablespoons of salt to the bowl and mix to dissolve.
Add a few strips of aluminum foil to the jar or cover the bottom of the bowl with a sheet of aluminum foil.
Now simply drop your silver jewelry in the water.
You can shake it around in the jar or swish it around in the bowl. The aluminum with the salt acts as a magnet, pulling the tarnish off of the silver.
Allow the jewelry to set in the saltwater/aluminum foil mixture for a few minutes.
Remove and rinse under running water.
Repeat as needed until the tarnish is removed.
Dry with a soft towel.

Tamarind. Can be found fairly easily. Just take a marble sized piece, wet it, and rub on the silver. Leaves it brighter than most propriatory stuff. Works on brass as well.
