TIPS TO CLEAN STERLING SILVER JEWELRY
1. The first one is a polish free method. Put two sheets of aluminum foil in a baking dish or cookie sheet, shiny side up. Fill the pan with boiling water to cover the silver. Add a couple of tablespoons of baking soda, a pinch of salt and stir. Place your silver in the water solution for about five minutes. Make sure each piece of silver touches the aluminum foil. After five minutes rinse off the silver and let it dry naturally. Each piece will sparkle without rubing or polishing! This is for SILVER ONLY, with no stones.
2. This one takes more elbow joice. Apply a thin layer of toothpaste to your silver. rubb off in small, circular motions with a soft cloth. Simple and economical! This is for SILVER ONLY, with no stones.
3. Always keep your silver in a pouch or plastic bag. Add a piece of aluminum foil to the pouch or bag to keep it even shiner. Get as much air out of the bag as possible. This works with or without stones.
4. Use a polishing cloth on the STERLING SILVER ONLY, never on natural stones such as Marcasite, Opal, Pearl, Onyx or Abalone. it can ruin the finish of the natural stones.
5. No swimming or bathing with Marcasite or Natural stone jewelry.
