do you use this with silver polish? or without? I will use it mainly for jewlery; silver rings, bracelets, cuffs,and chains,also candle sticks etc.

Hi, I used this cloth without any silver polish and the cloth provided an excellent cleaning job - my bracelets and rings looked amazing

I inherited vintage English Cup and Saucers with lots of lovely gold accents. They had become tarnished though. I was afraid of harming these heirlooms but the tarnish was ugly. This cloth worked perfectly, took off the tarnish w/o hurting the gold overlay.

I use it with silver polish. I use a vibrator cleaner, Tarnex and then polish it with just the cloth. Works well.

I use it for my silver candlesticks and a silver cup and tray - that's it. When I bought it, I thought it would be the silver soap-like stuff I've bought in the past, but it wasn't. Anyway, you could try a small area and see if it's okay.

One of the best metal polishes for tarnish removal and with more effort small scratches. Metals like silver will eventually tarnish.

I use a couple drops of dawn soap which works pretty well. A special cleaning solution may shine jewelry more but I haven't tried it.

I have not used this on silverware but have used it on rings, I highly recommend more than one coat on your silverware

Goddard's has excellent cleaners, among them a jewelry cleaner, particularly used for that purpose. Though I did use the silver foam on sterling silver jewelry. You have to clean it well - a very soft toothbrush gets into the crevices if the jewelry is engraved.

Not sure. I am a metalsmith (mostly silver) but have used it on copper components of the jewelry.

I would check with a jeweler on how to clean pearls. They are very, very delicate and can be damaged easily. I would also not use this to clean opals. Maybe there is a cleaning detergent safe to use for pearls, but I would never take a chance until I knew for sure from an expert.

It works great with regular polish. Just remove it with nail polish remover like you would regular nail polish

Yes! I used to polish my real Japanese silver vase decorated with all kind of stones and shells! I also use to polish my silver ring with jade! Hope my information help :))

If It is gold you do not need this, also I am sure this is not recommended for gold. It is great for silver. I clean my wifes gold by letting it soak in hot water with dish detergent. then scrub with an old tooth brush. the gold and diamonds sparkle after that.

In my opinion, I do not believe it is strong enough to much remove tarnish off of silver. In using with an ultrasonic cleaning machine, I would also recommend checking with that company's ability to use a specific silver cleaning solution that is safe for the machine. This Hagerty product is meant to help clean off skin oils and other grime from waterproof watches, necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc. It is kind of effective with brass or copper tarnish, but not fully as one would expect, so that's where in the future I'd go with specific chemical liquid cleaners safe for silver, etc. The fact is, I've even read that if one does not have ultrasonic cleaning solutions like Hagerty, then to simply use dishwashing liquid mixed in water...and that surely won't remove tarnish.

Yes, I have cleaned sterling silver jewelry with the "soap" that it used in these machines, not the silver cleaner that can be used in the machine. I ruined a few pieces of obviously lower quality silver pieces with the silver cleaner and will not use it again. If the pieces are especially dirty, I have soaked them for a few minutes in the liquid silver cleaner that comes in a plastic jar, I get it from Wal-Mart or Target, but then put them in machine with the soap cleaner. I have used it to clean my Pandora pieces, again with the soap. It's the vibration that contributes to the cleaning. It did wonders for a bracelet I got in Punta Cana that was so dingy I was ready to trash it. On the other hand, some things I have had to trash since they really didn't get clean. It has to do more with the quality of the item, I'm sure. But overall, I am extremely pleased with the ultrasonic cleaner and clean all my jewelry twice a year with it.

This can be used on every type of jewelry, even opals which can be very sensitive. You can use this with just water so it allows you to be more versatile with what you can clean because it doesn't require harsh chemicals to clean your items.

It's for gems & gold mostly. for silver, you need a tarnish removal cream or solvent. But, for gold, this is great!

Lauren. It would work well on silver and gold. I am not sure on the other three metals but people polish rocks with them so I don't see why not.

I have not used it that way, but it might work. I have used the little silicone pouches I sometimes get in packaging, in zip lock bags. I cut up my Pacific Silvercloth to line my jewellery boxes, drawers and make covers (cut to size little blankets) to put on top. That way my jewellery stays clean and doesn't need polishing, or it only needs a little buffing to shine like new. I also used it on top of my silverware in the box. Stays like new! I think it would make awesome pouches for jewellery, so you might not need zip lock bags.
