Antitarnish Tips

Here are some simple, inexpensive tips for preventing tarnish on
your jewelry pieces and for dealing with it when tarnishing does occur.

* Store your jewelry is closed containers or jewelry boxes.

* Save the little silicon pouches you'll find when purchasing shoes
or purses, they will help impede tarnishing if you place them in
your jewelry box by absorbing moisture. Replace the pouch every
6 months.

* Use non-gel toothpaste and a medium bristle toothbrush to remove
light tarnish deposits. Works for both plated and sterling where a
lot of store bought tarnish removers will destroy plated pieces.
See pictures below of the results.
