IHSI-02 - "Motorcycle Chain" Bracelet - Sterling Silver

[leeroy]

how do you guys clean/polish yours when its all tarnished and dirty, I can only get the most outter parts clean, but the inside and hinges is impossible to clean.

any tips? (I'm using a polishing cloth)

I took mine to a jeweler it cost $35 to clean and polish it gets tarnished again in about 2 weeks.

Use salt and foil (google it), no point in giving money to a jeweler.

I let mine embrace the patina of age…..

In the future, just go buy some silver polish or jewelry cleaner. Way cheaper in the long run. Or do the Salt and Tin Foil thing.

I tried the salt and tin foil thing on my Self Edge Feather bracelet - never again…...

what happened?

[Giles]

It did not shine but got super salt encrusted and took ages to clean with a "real" silver polish….

[Finn666]

thanks G. doesn´t sound that nice at all…

[derivative666]

Tried the silver polish it did not nothing. The jeweler made the bracelet look brand new

Yeah they have a device for silver… I witnessed it once at a friend's place... It takes a while but it does look really good as a result...

I just rub it with a cloth from time to time

Try baking soda and tin foil. That works!

[zhivago]

An electric toothbrush (sonicare) and silver polish will do wonders. Obvi use an old brush head, not one you are currently using.

Unless you have silver teeth.

tried tin foil, salt, baking soda and boiling water…left a nasty film on the bracelet. also made it blacken in some spots...made it much worse
so I took an hour to polish every crevice, will likely never try that method again.
