The Best-Kept Silver Cleaning Secret Ever!

Sad Lookin&#; Silver

We all have that tangled lump of silver jewelry sitting in a drawer, basket or box somewhere.

The company is the world’s best china silver plated yarns company supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

I recently came across mine and was slightly saddened to see how tarnished it had become after a few months out of circulation&#;

My pile included a Links of London charm, an old silver bracelet, a Tiffany ring, a few pairs of earrings, etc. I&#;ve also noticed that for whatever chemical reason, my body reacts to silver and blackens it after a few wears (I believe this has to do with the alkaline balance in my body &#; but I am sure someone smarter than I can correct me on that).

I kind of chuckle/snort/cry when I see silver polishing products.

They are so utterly expensive and don&#;t always work.

There&#;s got to be a better way.

Saddened that my silver jewelry didn&#;t look as beautiful as I wanted it to, I investigated the best, most effective way to clean silver that yielded exceptional results. I was so excited. I cleaned every piece of silver I could find in my house. It was amazing, I felt really accomplished. This doesn&#;t preclude other silver pieces, such as family heirlooms, silverware and service pieces, picture frames, coins, heck even silver bars. I tested a few techniques out but this one seems to be the magic combination. It can be used on all kinds of silver alloys, but cannot be used of other metals or costume jewelry. Silver only!

What you&#;ll need:

1) 1 cup of boiling water

2) 1 tablespoon baking soda

3) 1 tablespoon white salt

4) 1/2 cup white vinegar

5) 1 sheet of tinfoil, shiny side up

6) bowl (I used a soup bowl but you can use a larger bowl or even a bucket depending on how much silver you have)

7) Polishing cloth (I used a microfiber cloth).

What to do:

Prep it

Boil the water. While it&#;s simmering up, line the bottom of the bowl with the tinfoil, shiny side up. I literally covered the bowl with tinfoil. Then, add the salt and baking soda to the bottom of the bowl. Add the vinegar slowly (prepare for the fizz) and mix everything together to dissolve the salt and baking soda. You want all the granules to dissolve so that they don&#;t scratch your pieces (always thinking&#;).

Go Ahead & Wait

Add the boiling water to your bowl and then gently drop each piece of silver in the bowl. Just let it sit, the chemical reaction does all the work for you. If you wish, you can flip them over (like burgers on a Q) with salad tongs, just to ensure that both sides get exposure to the tinfoil.

Spit & Polish

Take each piece out carefully, being sure not to burn yourself, and buff it gently with your polishing cloth. You should start to see all the tarnish come off and all the original glory of your silver come back!

If you have charms or stones, you can try massaging good old ketchup onto the silver and rinsing it clean&#;I don&#;t think this mixture is OK for enamelled charms (although I did it on mine &#; I was willing to take the risk).

See what I mean?

So easy, so cheap and so incredibly effective! Enjoy this tip!

Beware of Fake Chinese “Sterling Silver”

Paula,

I just bought a bracelet on eBay that was listed as sterling silver. When I got it, I thought, no, this isn&#;t sterling silver&#;&#;.I&#;m not an expert but I wear it all the time and this looked funny. I looked for hallmarks and there was a stamp that said &#;925&#; which I know is supposed to mean sterling silver.

Well just for my own peace of mind, I took it to a jeweler who is a really nice man &#; he said right away, No, but did the acid test and it was not silver of any kind, let alone sterling silver.

Then once I got looking at the bracelet, it didn&#;t look Native American made &#; it looked like a wannabe.

Do you know about this?

Sheila

Hi Sheila,

Oh yeah. I know about this. Native American designs and hallmarks are copied every day over in Asia and passed off as NA made. It is disgusting.

And now there is an influx of fake sterling silver. Here is an excerpt from the Society of American Silversmiths:

Fake Chinese sterling jewelry and holloware is a growing problem on eBay and rapidly spreading throughout the world. Marketed as sterling or 925, this merchandise is actually PLATED BASE METAL, as illustrated by its unusually low pricing and free shipping.

The sterling or 925 quality mark that is stamped directly on the object or attached as a tag indicates that the entire piece is sterling, even if the seller says it&#;s plated. If you intend on buying these plated Chinese pieces with this quality mark, it MUST be removed to make it a legitimate plated piece. The law in the United States says that if a piece is marked or has an attached tag that says &#;sterling&#; or &#;925,&#; it must be SOLID sterling.
