For as long as remembered, costume jewelry has been a huge draw.
There is no way I'd count the number of earrings stored in cleaned up egg cartons that have been placed in large, dresser drawers.
However, when inexpensive "silver" toned earrings turn dark, it's not appealing.
My tried and true way to get rid of the darkness and restore the jewelry to beauty, is simple and cheap.
Baking soda is sprinkled into a bowl. Then earrings, or whatever piece of jewelry that is tarnished, are placed on top of the powder. Last, but not least, white vinegar gets poured onto the whole shabang.
I grab an old, clean toothbrush and scrub away.
Rinse well, and the earrings or whatever will look SO MUCH BETTER.
Be sure to pour out the soda and vinegar and rinse the bowl well.
Let dry on a paper towel.
Voila! "newly looking" jewelry!
IF YOU HAVE ANY, HOW DO YOU CLEAN AND POLISH YOUR COSTUME JEWELRY?

What a good idea Susan. I have never tried cleaning any of my jewelry. I do have some tarnished silver earrings. I will try to clean them soon. Thanks for sharing that tip.
Yay...I'm happy to have this cleaning recipe... I've not used this in the past but will for sure be doing it in the future. I usually use toothpaste and an old toothbrush. I do love old costume jewelry.
What a good idea! Never knew baking soda and white vinegar were cleaning agents. I’ll give this a try!
