Months ago I purchased the beautiful JAI Sterling Silver & 14K Gold Station Box Chain bracelet and the matching 18" necklace.  I would like to know the best way to clean these gorgous pieces as the design has oxidation, and I want to bring back the shine and color that it had upon purchase.  I am aware that one can't clean oxidated silver pieces the same as you would others that do not have it in its' design. Thank you for your input.

@MyTwoLoves   I use "Sunshine Cloths". They are yellow treated cloths to clean all silver and gold jewelry They should be available at most jewelry stores. The oxidation on your Jai bracelet is quite difficult to remove...usually only with chemicals.

Thanks for answering.  I never knew that.  I thought I had heard somewhere that the silver cleaning cloths can actually take the oxidation away from the silver item and make it more of the typical shiny silver color.  ????

@MyTwoLoves  Many do not understand the oxidation process. Not to get too technical, once the silver piece is finished, I apply a product (acid) called Silver Black or another is Liver of Sulfer. Wearing gloves, goggles and w/ baking powder nearby to neutralize if any acid spills, the piece is dipped into the diluted (w/ water) solution. When it's reached the desired level of oxidation, it's removed with long handled tweezers, rinsed, dried and polished so unoxidized portions achieve a high shine. A treated polishing cloth cannot remove an acid treated oxidized piece of sterling silver. There are base metal jewelry pieces and beads that are treated to look darker in places, but this fake oxidation will eventually come off.

I remember using liver of sulpher at summer camp when I was a kid.  We were making copper jewelry.  No gloves, no mask.  Between that and the mercury we played with in broken thermometers, its a miracle we had no lasting impact.  Knock on wood.
