Wedding Forum - Cleaning silver with pearls safely...

You can get them cleaning cloths, ive used them before. I would say they would be ok x x

My gran use to use warm water and a mild detergent suitable for woollens

have U tried to google cleaning pearls? X

Thank you Velcro - I looked it a bit more, it's a simple electrolysis to remove silver sulphide (the tarnishing). I tried it on cheap jewellery I had and it worked, and I figured that as pearls come from a salty environment, they should be ok. And it worked! I used a toothbrush to help along some of the more stubborn areas (plus it was quite an intricate design), and without the worry of getting chemicals on my skin.
I now have a clean tiara!
