Guys be careful when using solutions like this on jewelry. Some gemstone (as well as pearls) get damaged by it and loose their shine. At most only throw pure metal into the mixture and leave the gemstones out if you aren’t sure they won‘t be damaged by it.

More crinkles = more aluminum foil surface area that strengthens the chemical composition used to loosen dirt and debris. Also, the more crinkles = space for your jewelry to sit UP on and not stay at the bottom with all the dirt and debris. Let the chemical reaction work and the junk fall to the “valleys” or low spaces, keeping the now cleaner Jewelry up on the “peaks”.! ❤❤

Ex-employee here, Pandora offers free cleanings year round for all Pandora jewelry. Also, if you wanted to clean it at home, just use a teaspoon of blue dawn dish soap, some WARM water, and a reusable container and gentle shake it then use a toothbrush to get in the nooks and crannies then pat dry with a paper towel and polish with a polishing cloth! Boiling water may cause some charms to break/crack and you may not be able to get it replaced if it’s not covered by the 1 yr warranty or that product was discontinued!

Past Pandora worker here. Flakey salt and foil are equally as effective in cleaning (aluminum and salt chemically reacting is a great tarnish cleaner) and safe on ALMOST all Pandora jewelery. You can and should skip the baking soda bc baking soda is an abrasive and will cause micro scratches in your jewelery and will actually strip the luster on certain stones and metals much faster. Been cleaning my Pandora pieces like this for years after leaving

You can use tamarind to clean it. It is much easier. Soak a piece tamarind in hot water, then put your jewelries keep them overnight and wash them with a toothbrush next morning. It is much easier to remove any tarnish.

I love the charms you collected! It's definitely better, but still doesn't look like it did. You need some actual silver polishing paste and a silver polishing cloth. I also like the nano bristle toothbrushes, they're very densely packed and they get every crevice. That will restore it to how it was. (source: I run a small jewelry shop)

I use the Pandora cleaning solution and I wear my bracelets for nearly 10 years now and I have over 40 charms and mine look like new. I wear them in the shower too, but I do not use them in a swimming pool as that turns them black. If you buy their solution it does an amazing job. Mine look brand new and I am complimented about them constantly. Definitely wear them more as they mean a lot to you and those are beautiful x

I did this with my engagement ring and i was not aware that it was that tarnished!!! Take before and after pics under the same florescent light because it is a huge improvement!

you can also get them cleaned for free at the store!! i would suggest a polishing cloths after as well

I love charm bracelets also. Thanks for the video

What a lovely collection! Be careful not to use too hot a water, and don't do this for charms with wood, pearls or enamel. ;) I'd also avoid using a metal fork/utensil as that can scratch the silver, which is soft. I've also had some Pandora items for a long time (got my first bits back in 2009) and I clean them this way. I also use a soft toothbrush and then a soft silver polishing cloth (Town Talk) if I feel like it needs an extra oomph. :)

Yes, as plated jewellery is a layer of gold placed on to the surface of another metal (usually sterling silver) to coat the piece, anything plated will eventually tarnish over time and wear. However the thicker the gold layer, the longer it takes for you to see any tarnishing or fading. In general, though, most gold plated jewelry will begin to tarnish within a few years of regular wear.

You should try also cleaning it with shaving cream, I heard it helps as well

There is a product called Tarn-X it works a lot faster and you don’t have to scrub it after you have a soak in the product for about 10 minutes and it works better than that

Are there any similar hacks for solid gold?

WARM WATER AND BAKING SODA DOES THE JOB JUST FINE!!!!

Get an ultrasonic, it’s so satisfying

Pandora will literally clean it for free

The more you wear your bracelet and jewelry the less it will oxidize because the oils and movement from your skin will keep it shiny. You will just have to clean it once a month with either a pandora cleaning solution or a small drop of dawn dish soap a soft toothbrush and some water. Also if you aren't planning to wear your jewelry you can store it in a ziplock bag to keep the air from oxidizing it. Don't store it in your bathroom because of the humidity and lastly don't shower or sleep in your jewelry that can cause the charms to wear much quicker than they normally would. Always use a last on first off mindset with your jewelry to avoid getting perfume or anything on it that can have a negative chemical effect.

FYI pandora jewelry cleaning solution is just unclarified tap water and dollar store dish soap.

Please take your darkened jewelry to the jeweler. no need to clean them yourself! you can ruin and scratch it. let a jeweler clean them and cover them with rhodium! yes, it is more expensive, but it is safe for your jewelry and such cleaning after coating with rhodium will be extremely rare!!!!!

Any kind of toothpaste will work as well, use a toothbrush to clean! 😌

hydrogen peroxide is god, it keeps the shine to the pearls

Oml I’m doing this to mine as soon as a wake up tmr

silver gets clean by wearing it. just don't take it off when you wash your hands or shower and you're good to go
