Can I use the foil-and-baking-soda silver polish trick?

Question

I want to clean my silver jewelry; I have lots of earrings, etc., but they all have semi-precious stones.

Rose Broadway · Answer

NO NO NO!!! The foil is too harsh and will scratch your jewelry, maybe even loosen the stones!! Use a soft toothbrush on them. Here's a video in which soda is used, so I think you'll like it.

I sell a lot of silver on Ebay. Jewelry, silverware, serving sets. Silver polish like Wrights and dips like Tarn X tend to remove some of the metal. The foil method doesn't work that great and still leaves a grey film that still needs to be removed AND it also removes some of the metal. I use white toothpaste (not gel) and a damp toothbrush. For large items I use a damp cloth. Also cleans and polishes gems. Also works on copper, brass, gold, porcelain, ceramics, sneakers, plastics, etc. For my sales I needed one product for cleaning everything.

You can buy a small jar of cleaner for that purpose from a jeweler; not tooo costly. Get the smallest yiu can find, s\as you need so little.
