[princessthailand]

Help!

MAy i know is there a way to remover tarnish from silver? I didnt wore it before then today when i took it out to wear, i notice a bit of tarnish on it.

By the way, is there a way to prevent tarnish for silver?

actually, all silver will tarnish but it's whether they tarnish fast or slow as they'll form a layer of silver oxide.

u can use the silver solution that u buy from jewelry shops.

Yep can just buy silver solution. I got mine from Bits N Pieces. It's not expensive, just dip the jewellery into the solution and your jewellery will become bright and sparkly again. Rinse with water afterwards. You can also use a silver polishing cloth for smaller and not so intricate items.

does anyone here has tarnished tiffany?

mine doesn't but my friend's one tarnish real badly and i m so curious as to whether cotters' ones tarnish or not.

Mine tarnished quite a bit but I had it for a long, long time like, for 6 years. It is not that bad *touch wood*, looks yellowish and am kind of lazy to soak it into the solution.

For remove tarnish baking soda is better. Put on a paste of baking soda and water. Rub gently and then rinse with water and then polish dry with a soft cloth. And other one is you can also use toothpaste to clean off tarnish.

My tiffany silver pieces tarnish like any other jewellery. My 3 ways to maintain
use a polishing cloth - handy but my fingers always turns grey after
use a soaking solution - hate that cos it stinks
use good old fashion palladio rice powder and flannel cloth to polish - cheap and fast.

My mom swears by white vinegar or assam water but i sure dun want pretty funking smelling jewellery.

Tiffany will tarnish on different wearers. it's ok with me but not with my friend. i think it got to do with the silver composition and a person's sweat content.

use the silver cloth.

pure silver tarnish.

can get the silver polishing cloth from diva, $6. it works wonders. I just polished my tarnished tiffany necklace last night and it looks brand new!

to prevent tarnishing, you can wipe it after using it everytime and then put it back into the pouch.. but silver will tarnish somehow due to oxidation etc.

I put baking soda and boiling water in an aluminum baking pan and heat it on my stove top then i dip my silver items in it and let soak for a few seconds, they come out quite clean with little 'elbow grease'.

Keep a piece of chalk with your silver jewelry to help prevent tarnish


Buy some jewelry cleanser and clean silver at home

seriously i think baking soda is the best (and cheapest) method!

2 part baking soda + 1 part water and mix into paste. rub onto the silver and rinse! it will be as shiny as new!

somehow feel the silver cleaning solution do not do a very good job, even if i dip the silver for extended period into the solution. the silver did not obtain the same shine as what the baking soda can do!
