Carnelian Jewelry
How to clean silver and gemstone jewelry?

I have a silver and carnelian necklace. The silver is oxidized and I want to know how to clean it without harming the carnelian. A silver cloth is out of the question becuase the necklace is too detailed.

There is a method of cleaning silver which involves baking soda, hot water and aluminum foil, can anyone give me the exact details on this or other home remedies? Thanks.

First of all, your silver jewelry is better off saved in a "tupperware" like container, put the jewelry in cloth bags or in aluminum foil in the container... Always keep your silver jewelery when not in use... also try to change the foil bi-weekly! And clear bags may work too!

To clean silver, you may wanna try this inexpensive home remedy!

Take dampened cloth/sponge and pit some toothpaste, but not the gel type, on it and gently rub gently over the silver!
You may notice that the cloth/sponge becomes darker because of the tarnish... add more toothpaste to the other clean part of the cloth/spong... and continue rubbing it in! Then rinse it with hot water (you may add ammonia to the wash water) and dry it of gently using a soft towel.

I heard WD-40 also works well!

Good Luck ;-)
