How
to Clean Silver Jewellery Containing Pearls
925 silver may tarnish with oxidation. First
use a silver polishing cloth and polish the entire surface of
your jewellery; it can remove the oxidation and will buff away
tarnish. Jewellery stores and large department stores' jewellery
sections carry the silver polishing cloths. After using the polishing
cloth mix a small amount of baking soda with a little bit of hand
soap or detergent (do not use cleaners that contain ammonia).
Using a medium soft toothbrush (a used brush will be fine), brush
the silver surface gently then rinse with warm water and carefully
dry your jewellery gently with a paper towel. The final step is
to use the silver polishing cloth again to buff away any remaining
tarnish and bestow a tarnish resistant barrier at the same time.
