You can still enter the jewelry giveaway in the previous post!
The other day I decided I needed to clean my necklace. The chains I use are sterling silver and as you know silver over time will tarnish as it is exposed to the air, salt, chemicals, perfume, lotion, your skin etc. The initial charms are fine silver (99% pure silver) and tarnish (never seen this happen personally) at a slower rate than sterling silver. Like I said chain I use on my necklaces are sterling silver, but also have an anti tarish treatment on them to stop tarnishing and provide "shelter" from air, elements, etc that cause tarnishing. There is never a 100% guarantee on anti-tarnish, some may never tarnish and some may, but the anti tarnish treated product help prolong the life of sterling silver...So I said all that to give you the best cleaner for your silver if it begins to tarnish or lose that new luster!
I DO NOT recommend any liquid jewelry cleaners, such as Tarn-x or any of the jewelry cleaners you drop your jewelry in as it can give it a yellowing look to it. It is almost like those cleaners are too harsh. You should never soak any jewelry in Tarn-x!!!!
You SHOULD USE a silver cream polish, such as Wright's Silver Cream Polish. It works great and brings back the new shine to your silver!
Just thought I would share if your necklace needs a Shine Boost!
