Cleaning Sterling Silver Jewelry



Use any liquid silver cleaner. Dip the entire form into liquid as instructed on container, usually around 60 seconds. This will not affect the copper, magnets or crystals. Rinse the form under water. In the case of Buddha Maitreya Shambhala Solar Form Pendants, dry the back of the disc with paper towel or cloth, dry the inside or front of the form between the crystals with a qtip. You can also use a can of air to dry the form. Make sure you dry the form immediately to keep water spots from forming on the crystal disc.

For a more green approach, try covering a glass or plastic pan with aluminum foil. Pour in about 1 cup of boiling water and add 2 teaspoons of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir to dissolve. Drop the silver pieces into the liquid and make sure each piece of silverware is touching. The tarnish will slowly disappear. Rinse and buff dry. For seriously tarnished silver, more than one treatment may be necessary.
