Silver Jewelry Cleaning Tips

Hello,
After spending years of selling silver jewelry, I have found that the BEST way to clean sterling silver is with a jewelry polishing cloth. The cloth usually has two inner sheets for cleaning and two outer sheets for polishing.

Use the inner sheets first for cleaning tarnish off of the piece of jewelry. You will see lots of black tarnish come off onto the cloth. Once you are finished cleaning you can start polishing. Use the outer layers to polish your piece. You will notice the silver will sparkle and shine!!

This is the best way to clean the jewelry, especially if you have a piece with a gemstone in it. The cloth does not destroy or damage the gemstones. Some gemstones may be very delicate and can be harmed by using cleaning solutions.

Hope this helps!!
Judy
