I'm looking for a product to improve the gold appearance vintage costume jewelry earrings that have tarnished. Has anyone tried this?

I was trying to refinish the back of a druzy pendant. Initially the pendant looked fabulous! Then I decided to put an acrylic top coat on it to prevent the gold leaf from turning copper. (Also I wasn't sure how the gold leaf would react to being next to skin.) It turned copper anyway. I tried two different acrylic products, however, both times the pendant turned copper. Hope this info is helpful.

I have had no problems with mine so far. Is it sterling silver or what is your jewelry made of? I own cheap to expensive jewelry. And the sterling jewelry tarnishes just as quickly as my other inexpensive jewelry, but that's from wear. It depends on what your jewels are made of based on their life span. The box should tarnish it unless it has contact with moisture. Otherwise I'd contact the supplier.

To be honest, I just received it last weekend. I will send an answer soon. My jewelry has been in it since Sunday evening. If any discoloration is found I will send a redponse. I wish that I had an answer now. God bless.

I have not had a problem with any jewelry I have put in the cleaner. It all comes out looking great!!!

Yes they seem to be safe for all the jewelry. I do have to say that I am not that impressed with them. My silver still tarnish almost as fast as it did with out them. I would not buy them again. They were good for keeping earrings in pairs. Hope this helps you out.

I have used a small, handheld torch (Blazer GB4001 Stingray Butane Torch) on this clay with good results. This will do earring or pendant sized objects.

I inherited vintage English Cup and Saucers with lots of lovely gold accents. They had become tarnished though. I was afraid of harming these heirlooms but the tarnish was ugly. This cloth worked perfectly, took off the tarnish w/o hurting the gold overlay.

I gave two of these as Christmas gifts, both recipients report that they have cleaned Silver, Gold and Rose Gold just fine. They love these jewelry cleaners. Everything sparkles! So far, no one has tried copper or brass in them tho. Hope this helps.

I've had this product for 2-3 years and have not noticed any tarnishing of my jewelry (even the cheap jewelry)!

I tried it on an old silver spoon. It brightened up the spots that were not overly tarnished, but didn't do much for the parts that were black with tarnish. I may use it for silver that is just a little dull, but it certainly can not compare to real silver polish.

I have had good luck with removing tarnish from silver. I believe its chemically as the blue magic does not scratch or feel gritty.

Never tried clean costume jewelry. Works wonderful on fine jewelry. Probably will tarnish the costume jewelry.

I would say YES, but keep in mind that this polish works best while doing small areas (3 x 3) inches. I suggest using a soft cotton cloth (an old tee shirt) or something similar. For areas that are heavily tarnished, you may need 2 or more applications. This polish really does work well.

No. It's for real sterling. I tried it on costume plate jewelry and it dulls it forever.

A better method of cleaning tarnished silver, involves dissolving baking soda in hot boiling water, then immersing a sheet of aluminium foil into the heated mixture and then dipping tarnished silverware into solution making sure it makes contact with the foil. Tarnish should vanish immediately. No ultrasonic cleaner necessary. No buffing or abrasives needed. Just set it and forget it. Its that easy! LOL

I put both types of jewelry in this jewelry cleaner. I wasn't impressed with the outcome. I use a name brand toothpaste on both types of jewelry (rubbing gently with my fingers and using a soft toothbrush in hard to reach places) and I was very amazed and pleased at the results.
