Hi there! Glad we could've helped a bit 😙 that's interesting that you were able to do this with a stainless steel...we often recommend tin foil as it aids in the electrolytic reaction to transfer the oxidized tarnish to the aluminum foil!
@@myjewelryrepair Is that so? Will try it with foil next time - I just don't like to use too much of it due to the environment pollution of waste. THANKs!!
Thanks a lot..It worked for me.. my gold chain tarnished few months before, I thought may be it's duplicate..I followed few tips from youtube but there is no result...from your video I got my jewellery colour back😂
Wonderfull! My jewelry looks sooo good!! Have to admit I left them in longer and added Hydrogen Peroxide Anything silver came out sooo shiny- the darker colors so clean!!
Gonna clean my 925 silver cuban chain this way. I these ingredients (plus vinegar) to soak rusty bicycle parts. But, not sure if the acid from vinegar will ruin the chain. Windex shines it up, but doesn't remove all tarnish completely. Thanks for the advice!
I just use baking soda and boiling water for my silver And it works really well. They look how they did when I bought them, aside from the scratches. 😅😂 It's only getting the surface grime off the silver so it should be fine as long as you don't leave it sitting for too long.
Omg thank you so much,I'm definitely subscribe to yo cuz I'm a big fan of Melanie Martinez and I have a necklace that says crybaby and I was so sad when it was super dirty and it's worked,your a life saver,thank you so much for saving my inner crybaby❤
@@stacyiguodala9857 I wasn't disagreeing with you. But polish is an abrasive. It leaves smaller abrasions than rougher abrasives. "Micro abrasions" if you will.
Don’t forget to rinse your jewellery after you clean it. It’s an acidic mixture. That is copper she is cleaning in this video, not gold, but should work on all metals.
If you don't have baking soda, you may use this alternative method: Fill a bowl with 3 cups of warm water and some dish soap. Let it soak for a few minutes and then scrub with a toothbrush. We made another video called "3 Different Ways To Clean Your Jewelry." We recommend checking it out 👍
I want to ask everyone, whether my Gucci Ghost necklace, when applying this method, will keep the black engravings on the pendant? thanks everyone❤❤❤❤❤
Hi there! Sorry to hear this happened. The probable reason why your gold jewelry turned rose gold is most likely due to a chemical reaction from the oxidization. There is a chance that your gold jewelry may not be pure gold, and therefore can affect the color of the metals (i.e., copper)!
Unfortunately, baking soda can be abrasive for softer gemstones like pearls. You can substitute the baking soda with dish soap and that should do the trick! 💍
Unfortunately, we would not recommend using this technique for gemstones as baking soda can be slightly abrasive. We would recommend you send it in to a professional like us for a proper clean and polish for more precious pieces like this one!
@@myjewelryrepair too late.. the stones & gold are *gleaming*. Thanks. I had some sort of purple-ish looking oxidation collecting in the corners of each side of my ring; however u alls concoction tonic worked perfectly. 🖖🏽
But that doesn't look gold again, it looks reddish, kinda like copper. I have a gold filled chain that looks slightly darker after a month of heavy use, still looks sparkly and nice, but I can see it darkening already and I want to get it back before it gets even darker. I'm still going to try this method and I hope I can get the original color back and not have it look reddish.
Yes! You can use this method for pure 24k gold, or even 18k, 14k, or 10k gold, and other metals including silver, sterling silver, etc. All metals will not tarnish equally as the more pure the metal, the more resistant it will be to tarnish. However, we advice to use this cleaning method with caution as it can be too abrasive and we do recommend getting a professional clean & polish whenever possible :)
Hi there! We're not sure what your gold monopoly pieces are actually made of. It really depends on the type of metal, for example, if they're made of real gold, then this should work! It's just like the concept of people polishing their silver 😄
@@debracrager3639 Hi, Debra! It does work with silver! All silver tarnishes, but the more pure silver present, the more resistant it will be to tarnish. Fortunately, you can use this cleaning method to keep it looking new, however, we do recommend a professional clean and polish whenever possible :)
Uhh 🙄. Yes, 10k gold can tarnish over time due to the other metals in its composition Yes, 14-karat gold can tarnish, but very little, if any, is expected 18k gold is not pure gold and is susceptible to tarnishing, but it doesn't tarnish easily Pure gold, like 24 karat gold, cannot tarnish Pure (100%) gold, titanium and silver do not tarnish. Metals that can tarnish include copper, brass, bronze, and alloys - that includes any fine jewellery that are less than 24k or 100% pure silver like 9k, 14k, 18k gold or sterling silver. There is common misconception that just because a piece of jewelry is solid gold, that it will not tarnish. Solid gold less than 24k can certainly tarnish, due to the alloy metal that is compounded with the gold component being one that is not corrosion resistant. However, on the other hand 24k gold and pure silver is too soft to wear on a daily basis. 14k gold is the most commonly used gold for jewelry settings. It's composed of 58.3% gold and 41.7% alloy.
used a little stainless steel cup instead & added hydrogen peroxide to the mix - Worked like a charm!! THANKS!!

It worked 🎉
This works better with silver and it is a good way to clean your jewelry unless you want a mirrory look
Om my God thank youuuu ❤❤❤❤❤❤
What’s the Aluminium and salt for may I ask?
Worked!
Glad to have helped! ☺
Works 🎉
The abrasives in the mix create micro abrasions in the metal that cause tarnish to come back faster. Polish is a much better option.
Polish is literally micro abrasion
@@ilovepickles45 look it up im not the one talking out of my ass here

A tad defensive, isn't she? Day-um!
@@imhere653 i be on that ☝🤓 shit lmao

Does it erode the gold and lead to gold loss in just few milligrams?
What's the purpose of the aluminum foil? Would this work the same in metal or ceramic bowl?
The aluminum foil aids in the electrolytic reaction to transfer the oxidized tarnish to the aluminum foil, to be short!
I need a watch this video.
Would this would even with gold plating?
It worked
Glad we could help!
It’s working
Yay! Glad we could be of help☺
Does this work with stainless steel
Wait if my 10k gold earrings have a Lil reddish thing Wich I scrub and doesn't goes away it's tarnishing?
Could you please explain what you mean by " a little reddish thing?"
Yes
Does this worked for real gold also?
The baking soda will cause small abrasions. Just use salt, foil and hot water.
Do I need the foil or is there anything else I can use?
I don’t have baking soda but do we need it or can we do it without it?
If you don't have baking soda, you may use this alternative method: Fill a bowl with 3 cups of warm water and some dish soap. Let it soak for a few minutes and then scrub with a toothbrush. We made another video called "3 Different Ways To Clean Your Jewelry." We recommend checking it out 👍

Hi there! For a more valuable piece of jewelry like Gucci in general, we would recommend sending it into a professional for a clean and polishing ☺
so if i wanted to try this method on an 18kt gold vermeil on 925 sterling silver, would it work?
Yes! This method works for both gold & silver jewelry 💍
@@myjewelryrepair thank you so much!!!
@@keepyoursmile2476 No problem! Glad we could help :)
All ma jewellery has rust on 😭😭
Does this work for silver too?
Yes!
❤
Is this for fake gold jewerly?
No!
This didn’t even work, it turned my rusted gold necklace to a rose gold
Hi there!
Sorry to hear this happened. The probable reason why your gold jewelry turned rose gold is most likely due to a chemical reaction from the oxidization. There is a chance that your gold jewelry may not be pure gold, and therefore can affect the color of the metals (i.e., copper)!
Lmfao that aint real gold then🤣🤣🤣
Is this method safe for pearls that are attached to silver?
Unfortunately, baking soda can be abrasive for softer gemstones like pearls. You can substitute the baking soda with dish soap and that should do the trick! 💍
I have some fake jewelry that I brought and they just fades and tarnish now what should I do please reply
Could you please clarify what kind of material it is? Are you referring to fake gold or something else?
@@myjewelryrepair copper
Copper
Could I use this with silver as well?
Yes!
I kno I'm late ,but is this solution safe for colorless diamonds?
Unfortunately, we would not recommend using this technique for gemstones as baking soda can be slightly abrasive. We would recommend you send it in to a professional like us for a proper clean and polish for more precious pieces like this one!
@@myjewelryrepair too late.. the stones & gold are *gleaming*. Thanks. I had some sort of purple-ish looking oxidation collecting in the corners of each side of my ring; however u alls concoction tonic worked perfectly. 🖖🏽
Will it work on tungsten carbide
You can use warm water and detergent-free soap for tungsten carbide jewelry!
But that doesn't look gold again, it looks reddish, kinda like copper. I have a gold filled chain that looks slightly darker after a month of heavy use, still looks sparkly and nice, but I can see it darkening already and I want to get it back before it gets even darker. I'm still going to try this method and I hope I can get the original color back and not have it look reddish.
Curious - why the salt?
Does it have to be real gold or does it also work with jewelry from example: claires?
Yes! You can use this method for pure 24k gold, or even 18k, 14k, or 10k gold, and other metals including silver, sterling silver, etc. All metals will not tarnish equally as the more pure the metal, the more resistant it will be to tarnish. However, we advice to use this cleaning method with caution as it can be too abrasive and we do recommend getting a professional clean & polish whenever possible :)
@@myjewelryrepair thank you 😊
buy an ULTRASONIC CLEANER
That's one way to clean your jewelry! We're just providing another at-home method for those who have the proper materials 😊
Does it work without any cleaning agent?
Does this work for silver as well?
Yes! We've also made a video about how to clean silver jewelry, but it's basically the same process! 💍
Is this for real or fake gold?
Does the water need to be boiling or just hot
Just hot is fine!
Would this work for a fake gold ring
Yes, this will work for fake gold as well!
Boiling water ?
Just hot is fine as well!
What kind of water ??
Tap water should work just fine!
Why does it seem like the jewellery you placed in the bowl was already shiny and not the tarnished one? You were very careful at hiding it too.
I'm not sure if you noticed, but the colors are completely different at the end 😅 Plus it can still be shiny even if it's dirty!
I also use this methot for cleaning my silver and 18k jewelry and it does indeed work.
Is that rose gold ?
That tarnished necklace was beautiful!! I would’ve left it like that!
I brought some fake jewelry for myself and they just fade 😢
Gold don't tarnish

Oh OK
Why the tinfoil?
The solution might degrade the ceramic bowl if exposed to it.
Was that a copper necklace?
Nope! Just gold :)
You don’t need salt, hot water and bicarbonate soda is enough 🙄 basic chemistry reaction that normally kids studying at school 🤦🏼♀️
Is this gold plated over silver
Nope! Just regular 14k gold ☺
@@myjewelryrepair oh so you can’t clean gold plated
@@Missprettyladi You can! Just be aware that the plating will wear down over time so try to stay away from harsh chemicals. ☺💍
@@myjewelryrepair do you know if 14k gold plated flash over brass is good quality?
Its *boiling water that causes the reaction not *hot water
Gold does not tarnish???
It does. Like I smoke with my gold grillz before and they a little black now. I need to clean them
Would this work for a sterling silver ring?
Yes!
Absolutely. I did this method for my sterling silver necklace. It came out sooo shiny and new that I couldn’t believe how it looked prior
Does this work with fake jewelry
Yes!
@myjewelryrepair OK cuz I have a fake Cuban link
But why the tin foil??
The aluminum foil aids in the electrolytic reaction to transfer the oxidized tarnish to the aluminum foil, to be short!

I don’t understand how gold tarnishes? Maybe we should change the title and tell us how to fix fake gold jewelry.

Gold does not tarnish. I am not sure what your jewelry is made of, but it's not gold if it tarnishes.
anything gold less than 24K has metal alloys in it that will oxidize over time
24K will not tarnish
Ur wrong still looks bad and first off the aluminum needs to be facing the tuffer side out
