How to clean a sterling silver Tiffany necklace?

I have a Tiffany %26amp; Co. pendant, and it's starting to tarnish a little bit, what can I use to clean/brighten/shine it?|||You can either get a silver polishing cloth (Tiffany sells them and they work pretty well, but I'm sure any polishing cloth will do the trick) Or you can go to Tiffany and get it cleaned there. I know before they did free cleaning but I dont believe you can get free cleaning anymore. I want to say it is $15 for a necklace and it usually takes a few days.|||Sterling silver has a 7.5% content of copper and that is what causes it to tarnish. Tarnish will accelerate in humid weather and when worn against your skin.





The best way to clean it up is with a silver polishing cloth that is available from jewellery stores or even supermarkets. The cloth is impregnated with a fine polishing compound that won't hurt the silver and will bring back the shine. If there are any stones or pierced work then clean those with a small bowl of warm water, a drop of mild liquid detergent and an old soft toothbrush - soak it and then scrub with the brush - then rinse and leave to dry on a paper towel.





To minimise tarnish in the future, wipe it over quickly with the polishing cloth after each wear and then store in an airtight environment, such as a ziplock plastic bag.|||Put it in COCA COLA.100% result!!!
