Designer Silver Jewelry at http://www.lustrejewel.com/ : You are at the right place to get all the information on how to clean the oxidized layer off your designer silver jewelry in most quick and cheapest way.
Method for cleaning:
A. Requirements for cleaning your designer silver jewelry:
1. An aluminum container which is just as big as your jewelry sizes, when it laid flat .In case you dont have a aluminum container , just use the disposable plates that are used in most of the small parties and birthdays . Aluminum is required to clean off the tarnished layer through a small simple chemical reaction.
2. Baking soda , I am assuming all homes have this item and will not explain further where to buy it.
3. Hot boiling water ready to use.
4. A spoon, fork or any kind of stirrer will do.

B. The cleaning process of designer silver jewelry:
1. Place the designer silver jewelry item to be cleaned in the aluminum container or plate. Try to spread it wider so that no ends are overlapping and touching each other.
2. Cover the designer silver jewelry item with baking soda completely. A thin layer of around 3-5 mm is fine.
3. Pour boiling water into the container with jewelry and baking soda. Dont lean towards the container , but try to keep your head and body tilted backwards. There is a small chemical reaction taking place as soon as you poured the boiling water on baking soda , aluminum and silver jewelry. Nothing too serious , but its better not to breath in fumes that come out.
4.Turn the silver jewelry continuously with the fork or spoon as long as the water is still very hot. The more the jewelry comes in contact with the aluminum base, the cleaner it will get.
5. As the water temperature reduces, take out the designer silver jewelry from container and dry it with a clean cloth. Check if you are content with the result of cleaning. If it is clean, just wear it or store it as I told you in earlier part of this article.
6. Sometimes the silvers tarnished layer is very thick. In such cases, 2, 3 or 4 repetitions of this process might be necessary. It depends on how clean you want your designer silver jewelry to look. I prefer a slightly tarnished look as it looks very elegant. I dont clean it to the point where it begins to sparkle again. Slightly tarnished looks gives silver jewelry a lots of grace. In case you have any questions or doubts, please leave me comments below. I will answer your doubts ASAP.

  • Beginning looks like shes ready to make crack rocks.

  • From silver restoration specialist Jeff He,man:

    Objects cleaned by this method may tarnish more quickly than silver that has been polished, for the object's surface will act like a sponge and more readily absorb tarnish-producing gases and moisture. The solution can also seep into hollow areas such as coffeepot handles, unsoldered spun beads around the tops of lightweight holloware, weighted pieces with minute holes, and any porous attachments.

  • Thanks so much for this! I have a beautiful silver chain that's in need of some cleaning, and this will work perfectly.
