STERLING SILVER and RAW BRASS will both oxidize over time. Polish as needed. We recommend Selvyt Brand polishing cloth for light polishing; Sunshine Brand yellow polishing cloth to remove darker oxidization.

Vermeil and gold plated jewelry

VERMEIL (18k gold-plated sterling silver) and ALL GOLD PLATED jewelry can be brightened up by GENTLY using Selvyt Brand polishing cloth. A toothbrush and toothpaste or dish soap can easily clean dirt or grime from plated jewelry.

Some stains can be removed with acetone or rubbing alcohol.
