Cleaning "Costume" Jewelry
Permalink Closed

I have a few necklaces from Forever 21 that I absolutely love, but they are in a major need of cleaning.  The faux gold one is looking more like brass and the faux silver ones are turning pink.  Does anyone have a way to clean these non-precious metal items or is it just a lost cause?  TIA!

Well, I can't guarantee it, but you can try a basic jewelry polishing cloth. My old standby is a mix of baking soda and lukewarm water into a paste. Rub that on the jewelry, then buff it with a soft cloth, and rinse with warm water. Then, of course, dry it off. That might work, but not knowing the base metals, it may not.

I've never tried it on cheapie jewelry, but I've posted a few times before that it works really well with silver and gold jewelry: Line a shallow dish with foil, lay out jewelry, generously sprinkle with baking soda, pour in boilng water to cover jewelry, let sit for 10 minutes.
