This recipe is from wire-sculpture.com. I couldn't believe how dirty my watch and silver jewelry were when I tried it. Yuck! This saves money and is safe for you and the environment. The solution can be very drying to your hands so consider using rubber gloves or even tweezers to handle the jewelry.

SERVES 1 , 1 bowl of cleaning solution (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon dish detergent
1 cup water
1 piece aluminum foil

Directions

1
Heat water in the microwave for 1 or 2 minutes.
2
Cut a piece of aluminum foil that roughly covers the bottom of a small bowl (like a cereal bowl).
3
Pour hot water into bowl. Place salt, soda, and dishwashing liquid into bowl. Place jewelry on top of foil and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse jewelry in cool water and dry jewelry completely with soft cloth. Discard solution after use and make a new batch next time.
4
According to wire-sculpture.com, "this works well for gold-filled, brass, german (nickel) silver, and sterling silver. I have even cleaned jewelry with freshwater pearls, shell cameos and mother of pearl with no problem.".

I'm throwing away my jewelry cleaner machine!!!! This is the ONLY way to clean jewelry. My only question, is should you really put your watches in the solution??? I have a Bulova watch and I don't know if it's waterproof, but I'm concerned about putting it in the solution.

Just tried this and it works wonders. My diamond sets up high and it is always hard to clean under it, but this does the trick! My rings look brand new!!!

I want to tell the world this works!! After 10 minutes soaking time in this easy, inexpensive solution, my jewelry was sparkling...and without lots of rubbing or buffing! The necklaces I cleaned were handmade with lots of small intricate sterling silver beads and wire strung with artisan,dichroic glass beads. I had tried to clean these favorite pieces of mine by using a jeweler's cloth, but the material just wouldn't reach inside all the small twists and turns, leaving lots of tarnish. I can now wear all my sterling jewelry and make some more without fear of having tarnish ruin everything. Thanks so much for posting this recipe!!!
