CONNOISSEURS Silver Jewelry Cleaner Solution, 8 Ounce

I have some of the traditional Tiffany silver jewelry (the linked chain and the heart) which i have always liked to wear but it is the biggest pain to polish and to get in those grooves of the chain links would drive anyone crazy. not worth all the effort (and i have the necklace AND the bracelet). That was my main motive for buying this cleaning solution but i also have some other silver jewelry that would benefit. so it works JUST as it says. within in SECONDS i had gleaming, beautiful jewelry that looked like i took hours polishing. i did not even remember the last time those pieces looked that good. Added bonus: i had some cheaper jewelry that i thought had the cheap silver film coming off and was ready to throw away. Before I did so, i went ahead and threw those pieces in the basket too. it was NOT the film coming off, it was tarnish on the silver plating I guess b/c this restored those pieces too and they are also looking like brand new! couldn't be happier. this is NOT to be used on stones or anything else. please read the actual details of the product. there is another jewelry cleaner for stones and other items. this is silver and silver plated jewelry only. **the smell: i almost did not get it after people said it smelled. So when first opening, it almost smelled like one of those "wintergreen" tablets that are often in the airplane bathrooms. then after i kept using it kind of DID smell like the actual potty contents w/the wintergreen over it. LOL. so i can def detect the unpleasant smell. however, unless you stick your nose right in it, the smell is not at all over powering. i have a VERY deep sink in the kitchen. i put the container in the sink and used it that way and kept my head and my nose pretty far from the container. it was fine. In no way is the smell a deal breaker b/c for the few seconds that the product is used and if you don't stick your head super close to the container, it is really a non factor**

I have used this product for over 20 years and nothing cleans like it. However, being the strong cleaner it is, it leaves your silver looking pale - more like its unprocessed state - and not shiny as we prefer to see silver appear in jewelry. So here's the dealio: 1) also buy a silver polishing cloth when you buy this solution 1) dip your silver in this solution (you can leave it overnight but it's usually no better than leaving for a couple of minutes unless the silver has somehow become oxidized) 2) rinse thoroughly with tap water, feeling no slick residue on the silver 3) towel dry (might want to shake it out a bit, too, if a heavy piece like a bracelet or a Balearic silver necklace) 4) rub with a silver polishing cloth - the *second-most important* part to the polishing procedure. If you follow these simple steps, your silver will always look amazing with the Connoisseur's solution being the centerpiece and the silver polishing cloth being the companion of tantamount importance. Between dips, the polishing cloth alone will get you by but only until the details unreachable by cloth begin to get colored (the insides of etched details or the insides of chain links, for instance). That said, getting a silver polishing cloth is very important to sparkling silver and they are very cheap - just as this solution is - so don't cut corners by not getting one. However, the cloth is not a substitute for this solution, nor is the solution going to prove its magic without the polishing cloth. Now that you've read this, if you *don't* get a silver polishing cloth, too, be sure to wear a tall and pointed dunce hat at your next social engagement...along with your lackluster silver jewelry. Even a shopworn, discolored cloth blackened by the tugs of silver over the years will still work just as well even after two Miley Cyruses (my newest yard stick for aging). Oh yeah - and just as other reviews have noted - this stuff *does* stink like a rotten egg but only as the solution is frequently used and evaporates over time. When the Connoisseurs Silver Jewelry Cleaner is fresh, it is not so bad at all and smells very much like the household cleaner Simple Green. So far, a simple 8oz jar of Connoisseurs Silver Jewelry Cleaner like this one lasts me about ten years and buddy buddy, *does* the jar I'm replacing today have an odor (it's down to the last inch of solution today). But it DOES take *years* before it gets to stinking like that. You bet I'll forgive the smell of its tenure for all its wondrous effects...and this third jar I am ordering today will last me yet another decade, I'm sure. This is a fantastic investment in a time where few prove so enduring and reliable.

I finally got around to using it after buying it a while ago. Ok so I have 2 rings that are sterling silver and 1 bracelet from Tiffany's. The Tiffany's bracelet has been tarnished since 2005. I basically stopped wearing anything that is tarnished and put it away. So I tried it out on the 2 rings first. One ring I had since like 2009. The other one since like 2 years ago, 2013. I tried it on the first ring first and it came out looking great! Then I used it on the 2nd ring and it came out great as well, but that one was barely tarnished. Still it was like brand new after the dip. Now onto my bracelet. It was ALL BLACK before dipping. It has been tarnished SINCE 2005 bc that is when I remember I stopped wearing it. Ok so I dip it for 2 minutes and already it is mostly white. Since it is a chain link thing, some of the crevices were still black. So I dipped it again for another minute. When it came out the second time, it was perfect. White all over. Perfect. So yea this product deserves a review. I never used silver cleaner before and this was like magic. I guess most people would've cleaned their jewelry a lot sooner but I never cared for it. Anyway, I read some other reviews saying that this thing ruined their jewelry. I wonder how it could do that?? The only thing I can come up with is maybe they had stones glued to their jewelry and the stones came out? I have a stone, presumably glued to my first ring, and it is intact. It isn't fit with a bezel so it must be glue. Anyway I don't see how this chemical can ruin jewelry. All it did was clean it for me. I guess don't use it for anything other than silver. I have a white gold necklace and I wouldn't risk dipping it in here. I have had this necklace since I was a kid and it never tarnished. I guess that's the difference between gold and silver. Anyway, this product works. Try it on your least favorite item first (like I did) to make sure it does.

Recommandé par mon bijoutier qui n’en avait plus en stock, ce produit est pratique et facile d’usage. Il sent fort mais c’est normal. Les bijoux qui en ressortent sont comme neufs. J’en suis ravie.
