i already tried sterling silver jewelry cleaner and it didn’t do much.

What Is Causing My Silver Jewelery To Tarnish?

margerie103186 asked:


I wear several pieces of sterling silver jewelry daily, and have been for years now. I never take off my 2rings or the 2 pairs of earrings in my ears, and wear a necklace and bracelet during the day.

Recently (in the past 2 weeks) my earrings have turned completely black, tarnished. I’ve had to clean them, only to find them tarnished again within a day. I havent really changed my daily routine and I know the water hasn’t changed, what could be causing this?

How exactly is this cleaning reaction working?

The Lady Mermaid asked:


I am working in the jewelry industry and was wondering how this reaction is working. We frequently clean tarnished silver with a bowl of water lined with aluminum foil, hot water, baking soda, a pinch of salt and a little dishwashing liquid. I have a little chemistry in my background and figure it is an oxidation/reduction reaction. I am curious to exactly what happens and how it is working. Also, are there any other effective methods for cleaning tarnished silver jewelry?

Did I just ruin my silver and diamond ring?

Becca asked:


I put it in some liquid all-purpose jewelry cleaner, and forgot about it for an hour, and when I pulled it out, the band was black. I’ve been scrubbing it for a few minutes, and it’s lightened up, but it’s not shiny anymore. Did I ruin it?
Oh, yeah it was expensive. My grandmother gave it to me, and it was a gift to her from my grandfather. It’s a full carat canary diamond.

Melissa S asked:


My 7 yr old nephew decides to play with my tiffany’s bracelet in some cleaning products and now the sterling silver has melted off and its now a metal bracelet. I was wondering if there was a place where I could send it so I could have a coat of sterling silver back on the bracelet. Is it possible to get this done and where?
