Hi
I have the same problem with my white gold wedding ring when I use bleach. The first time it happened, I got into a panic and then scrubbed it with washing up liquid and it came right again. Just leave them in a cup of warm water and washing up liquid and give them a scrub now and again. Hope this helps
Happy Christmas

I must try this one. Never heard of it before, Thanks.
I have tried the washing up liquid and yes it works brilliantly. Gives the jewellery a great shine. All precious stones, golds etc. can go into it and come out looking good as new.

sounds like some sort of chemical reaction took place- hmmm- I dunno -- google the problem and someone will know what to do- I'm thinking lemon juice but I'm just guessing-

my silver ring went black from swimming in the sea.

Stick it in a glass of coke - or a friend of mines mother used to use tomato ketchup to clean copper pipes behind a solid fuel range - may be worthy a shot

re silver

Hope it works for you

Thats very good information Magiceight. Thanks for that as its useful information.

cleaning silver
 

i believe brown sauce cleans jewellery, cant verify

i'lll give it a try if all else fails i have one of the items soaking in coke now to see how that gets on

i'll keep ye posted
cheers marie

well the coke didnt seem to help so going to try the baking powder on 1 of them see how it goes
cheers marie

I have a solid silver bangle and the hallmark is oversized and used for the design. It gets tarnished in the hallmark over time. I use cigarette ash and a damp soft toothbrush or cloth. Gets rid of the tarnish a treat.

cheers thanks i'll keep that in ,mind..

update
as i didnt have the baking powder to hand i tryed the brown sauce.
it was on a mans braclet and i must say with a bit of scrubbing the brown sauce made a bit of difference ..
but still black patches so i'm going to do the baking soda one tonite

cheers marie
