    Just a little tip, if you buy pretend silver or gold, after wearing it, make sure you put it away in a little seal plastic bag, a small sandwich bag will do, flattening it so that there is little air left in there. I have found that they does not tarnish then. This also applies to silver chains or pendants. Something else if you are cleaning as above in the sink, make sure you put the plug in so if any small parts break off while cleaning, you can save them.

    I just needed to say thank you with more than just a thumbs up. I bough a cheep princess tiara for my girlfriend like 4 years ago. It got really rusted over the years. I Tried cleaning it with a more complicated method but it just didn't work. I tried this and it looks like new. She is now planing on wearing it for our wedding in a few months. So thanks again this was a huge help.

    If it turns your skin green like a ring or something, put a coat or two of clear nail polish on the inside of the ring. It should stop it from doing so. Hope it helps

    I just wanted to say thank you very very much for refreshing my memory on how to clean cheap jewelry you really saved my butt with my wife's pendant that she has because I put it in the wrong cleaner because she told me it was real silver but it actually wasn't and she was devastated when it got tarnished but with this method I was able to bring it back to life so thank you very much again I liked the video and subscribed to your channel and I also hit the notification bell as well !!!! And p.s. this method made the pendant look alot better than when we first had purchased the pendant so thanks a million 😊

  • @meliai0
    @meliai0 10 лет назад +10

    I tried this right after I watched the video above and IT WORKED!!! I couldn't believe it. I purchased a necklace from Urban Outfitters for like, $16 a couple months ago. It's a thin chain with a small "gold" bar (that's really made of "mixed metal", it's says on their website). It has a small 'a' on it for my daughter's name, anyway, it became tarnished-like more dark then gold colored. It looked grossed so I haven't worn it for awhile... :( This toothpaste+toothbrush+scrubbing method worked really well, and it's super easy; no time at all. It's not as shiny as it used to be (as expected, I suppose), but the varnish disappeared! I wish I would have known about this a long time ago. The only tip I have is be careful with inexpensive jewelry when scrubbing, don't do it too hard! Thanks for listening!!!

    • @rosee8528
      @rosee8528 9 лет назад +5

      This is off subject but I started shopping at Urban Outfitters (online) like a year ago and i was buying sale items I ran acrossed a shirt with a pentagram and bought it. I have realized it is Satanic totally the eyes are in the pyramids at each tip of the star.Then I went into the store and was looking around and came acrossed Tarot Cards ( I used to use tarot cards for years and guess who showed up) I am shocked that store would sell something like that kids are going to buy those type of products that is not good. I just wanted to let u know about it.
