I have a ton of Tiffany that has tarnished.

You need to buy a cream silver cleaner. it works really well.

I got mine from Avon. It comes in a tube..and its sorta gritty like soft scrub. a silver polishing cloth works well too.

But my Tiffany 1837 jewelery has tarnished and I still ahd trouble getting the black out of the numbers and lettering that is sorta lower then the rest of the ring.

Silver is weird.. some pieces have never tarnished and others did right away.

I have many tiffany pieces and they do tarnish a little. The best method I've used is a silver polishing cloth...they have two sides. One side is made to remove the tarnish (you'll see all the black some off onto the cloth) and the other is to buff it super shiny. Seriously works wonders! I would use it before any of the abrasive stuff first.

I bought some silver cleaner at Bed, Bath, Beyond that you can just dip your jewelry in. It works really well instead of using a cloth. Or you can take it to any jeweler.

I recently was in one of their stores and it looked like a lot of the stuff in the cases needed to be polished. That's why I don't think I'll buy any more silver Tiffany.

I have one of these it cleans more than just jewelry - water-resistant watches, spectacles, etc.

Where do you buy these cloths, and by what company?

I would definitely recommend the silver polishing cloth. I bought mine from Walmart for $6 and it is made by Connoiseurs. I recommend the cloth over the cleaner that smells like toilet bowl-cleaner in which you dip your silver. I have used that on other silver items and IMO it kind of strips the shiny finish and the items seem to tarnish even quicker.

My favorite way to clean silver is to line a bowl with aluminum foil, put the silver pieces on the foil, cover liberally with baking soda and pour boiling water over the top. Let it sit for a few minutes and voila! No more tarnish. It's a chemical reaction, but it seems like magic to me. :p

:wtf:This thread has scared the heck out of me!

I don't own any, but I never would have thought a TIFFANY's silver piece would tarnish so quickly! I mean I know good pieces can tarnish like that over time, but that quickly?:confused1:

I guess I'm not one to like to do a lot of maintenance on my jewelry. :p
