How To Brighten Up My Ripka Silver Pieces

I have many silver Judith Ripka pieces that I love. I keep them in a Silver Safe Keeper jewelry box and they don't tarnish, but some pieces seem to have dulled. I usually clean them with a soft cloth after wearing, and I'm very careful to avoid hairspray or lotions coating them. Does anyone have any advice on how to brighten them? I have tried silver jewelry polish, but they still seem a dull grey. I know they're supposed to resemble platinum and not super shiny silver, but they've lost their oomph! Thanks in advance for advice, and pardon the lack of paragraphs due to iPad!

Petals, I have had very good results with a product called Sparkle Sparkle. I believe it is sold on the southern channel. It seems to be gentle and removes tarnish, oils and "dirtiness" from old jewelry well. HTH Marilyn

I use Sparkle Sparkle, too, and it is very good.
