I use a silver polish. It works great.

Don’t try any of these methods. Don’t use the dips either as they damage silver. Just order a silver jewelry polishing cloth off Amazon and you’ll be good.

An ultrasonic removes gunk but not tarnish — buy a polishing cloth online and once you’ve used it, you can just rinse the chain to remove any leftover polishing compound. I have a rouge cloth and a sunshine cloth, and the sunshine cloth leaves way less compound. If there are a lot of recessed areas/you really wanna get into the chain links, you could do a home pickle and then use the cloth. I doubt a jeweller would charge much to clean your pieces, but why not do it at home!

Haggerty silver polish is good. Buy the cloth from Amazon.

The more often you wear silver the less it will tarnish. Everyday worn silver jewelry shouldn’t.

Id recommend a silver polishing cream

If you decide to remove the tarnish, I would use a tiny dab of silver polishing cream on a cotton swab or corner of a soft cloth. Avoid the stone, just clean the silver.

No need to get crazy, a silver polishing cloth will work just fine. It’s adorable! It’ll look amazing cleaned up.

Make a paste with baking soda and water. Then rub the silver with the paste or use a soft toothbrush to apply the paste. That should remove the tarnish without damaging the jewelry. This is how I was taught to clean my ancient greek silver coins by a numismatist.

Blitz polishing cloth.

Polishing cloth

Silver polish. An impregnated cloth is gentler than the liquid but takes longer.

Are they genuine sterling silver?

Wrap your earrings in aluminum foil. Toss them into a bowl filled with hot water and baking soda. Allow to sit 30 minutes or so.

Rinse.

I love cleaning jewelry with a tiny tiny dab of toothpaste. So shiny.

Might be an old wives tale but shouldn't vodka work?

one for you one for me (https://youtu.be/ZWYHVvHAG0Y)

For silver, get proper polishing cloths. Do not scrub, or use any acids including vinegar. Tarnish is, on certain pieces, character and if so should stay.

FYI never use baking soda, toothpaste, or other non-jewelry related abrasives on silver or gold. You can and will ruin the finish and polish on your jewelry.

I don’t know why people keep spreading this horrible advice

I learned trick #1 from this sub. I now use a drop of Dawn dish soap and a pipe cleaner (ones that clean the inside of a straw) to gently brush my diamond ring and gold jewellery from time to time to keep everything shiny. The diamond sparkles so beautifully after I do that!

No, no, no! Toothpaste of any kind is a NO! Just buy some jewelry cleaner.

This needs a warning at the start about gemstones, particularly ones such as opals and pearls

Washing soda, tinfoil, boiling water.

****Not pearls, Emeralds, Opals or fragile stones *****

Couple of tablespoons of washing soda into a old jar or some glassware you don’t care about, pop in a bit of tinfoil, like 2 cups of hot-very hot water. Mix, should bubble, drop in your silver item wait 5 seconds, remove and rinse in hot clean water. Dry.

Wow I wouldn't even give the unclean ring a second look. But the cleaned up version is gorgeous. I guess I have no imagination.

I've been cleaning tarnished silver by dropping it in aluminum foil + baking soda + boiling water. (and something with good ventilation because it emits sulfur gas potentially lol). Is this something you'd typically would do or would advise against?

I just cleaned silver using boiling water over the jewelry in a small bowl with a little baking soda. I used a makeup brush to clean the surface of my delicate viny celtic cross. I would start with something less harsh and gradually go more crazy if you aren't getting results.

Don’t ever put amber in an ultrasonic. Could damage the stones. The rest looks fine for that. Elbow grease is safest. As is a silver cleaner too like the other commenter recommended.

I sold jewelry for a few years. We used Wrights silver cream on all silver. It's in a white container with a blue label. You could probably find it in your local grocery store.

I wouldn't mess with the ultra sonic personally because of the stones. Don't use anything abrasive on the stones either.

I use silver polish and a soft cloth on my sterling silver jewelry...works great.

I just cleaned a bunch of silver jewelry and it was super easy and worked wonderfully. I put foil In a 13x9 Pyrex, sprinkled baking soda on top of the foil, laid the jewelry on top of the baking soda, and poured very hot water on top. Then, I waited 10 minutes (can do less time 2-10 min), rinsed off the jewelry, and dried with a microfiber towel.

1. Heat coffee mug of water for 2:30 in microwave 2. Line cereal bowl with aluminum foil 3. Place chain in empty bowl on top of aluminum foil and sprinkle with a few tablespoons worth of baking soda 4. Pour hot water from coffee mug over chain 5. When it stops bubbling just sprinkle baking soda on it again and repeat that process 2-3 times. 6. Pull out and rinse chain in cold water to remove all baking soda residue. Chain will look brand new in about 5 minutes total time start to finish.

Pickle bath and a polish

Is there a hallmark stamp with the silver content? I’m perplexed how it’s only black in one spot.

Take it to a jeweller for a polish....

I would have it pretty much good as new in 15 mins.

It needs cleaned then barrell polished.

Simple polishing cloth will work too but I like the method someone here has posted for large amounts I may try it
