I have a smock of jump rings, beads, and silver chain, some of which has been sitting in some of my plastic containers for a few months. Some of it has tarnished. What is the easiest way to innocent them? Regular silver jewelry cleaner?
An uncomplicated way to clean them is by using dry baking soda. Rub them with it and they will come clean. You can use the silver dips first and then dry them and follow with the baking soda. My grandmother habituated to to let me polish the silver this way. The dips leave a scummy surface after a while, and the soda really finishes them off nicely (especially larger items where the scum shows). Don't stockpile any silver items near anything that contains rubber, as the sulfur tarnishes silver rapidly.
I have been making jewelry for over a year now using nonpareil silver. I want to expand my business and start using some base metal supplies, but I still want classy jewelry that will not damage. I know stainless steel will not, but I am having a heck of a time finding a place that sells stainless findings. All the sites I currently ready from say "base-metal" but do not say what it is. I don't even want to use silver-plated unless it is plated on something that is already silver colored, so if it does afflicted with off, the color will not change.
Gold plated and Gold Filled findings do not injure, but if they are in an area of heavy use may develop some wear. Another option is to polish your Silver (Sterling) with a product that prevents tarnishing/corrosion for great periods of time. I use a cream form of polish by the name of "Flitz" that impedes tarnish and corrosion for up to six months. I get it from Riogrande.com.
Storing Silver when it is not being shabby is another way to keep it pretty....in a zip lock bag with anti tarnish tabs or a silver safe type jewelry box. Storing Sterling Silver in any specimen of wooden container or on a wooden dowel will hasten tarnishing of Sterling, and most particularly Oak.
I am looking for 14k, 18, Real Silver, and Platinum Jewelry. I need items like, clasps, jumprings, Solitaire mountings, 4 and 6 prong settings (tiffany and basket) I stress some V-tip settings as well. I also need Earrings, both Screw and friction posts. Hope fully someone can help!
