Hermès silver rings take on a beautiful patina!
I got this in December, wore it al the time and it was nice and shiny until I “lost” it inside a bag in February. I found it again last night and it has darkened to a beautiful warm grey with turquoise flashes!

I like I even better now and hope the patina never wears off! If it does... I guess i’ll experiment by sticking in a ziplock baggie with some hard boiled egg yolks.
I was told many years ago how to clean silver jewelry with hot water and salt and since I do this all the time and it works, just in case if someone would like to know this :)

First I boil water, then put a piece of aluminum foil in a small bowl (for example dessert bowl), then put boiled water in it, then one tablespoon of salt and stir this together, and then just put the silver jewelry in it and wait for two minutes, normally you see the results after seconds already. I repeat this once again and they look like new :)

But of course this patina looks beautiful and gives silver a special unique look :smile::heart:

Just wanted to share this simple way to clean silver jewelry :amuse:

So funny!! No, my mom is by herself in all this ( do NOT want to go near her) and she is the best sport I've ever known. She made a schedule etc. and one big part of every day is reading TPF. This thread has totally inspired her and she figured she would make her contribution as well.
Good news- she's already working on another one! ( and as I'm her conduit for the forum, she asked if I would tell you she LOVES your avatar ( and what's in it!!).
