Polishing ~ Copper, Brass and Silver jewellery

Last year, I bought this beautiful Tri-Metal Nested Necklace 

from Jessica Van Den at Epheriell

(I also own a ring and earrings from Jess too)


In recent months, my necklace has tarnished and looks like this. . .

I was sad it had lost it's lustre


I cleaned it regularly with my silver jewellery cleaning cloth 

however, it didn't bring back the shine


I sent an email to Jess to ask for her advice


One of her suggestions was to use this polish


 I rubbed the paste onto the tri-circular part only (with my fingertips) 

for approx 5mins, then rinsed under a running tap 

and dried on a clean cloth


I used my silver jewellery cleaning cloth to clean the necklace chain


It was such a relief to see my necklace shiny again!! 

I will be using this polish method every 1-2mths
so my necklace doesn't tarnish again


Have a gorgeous weekend!
