Cleaning Vintage Jewelry

Cleaning Vintage Jewelry. Today I’m going to show the different methods I use for cleaning pieces of vintage costume jewelry. I will also show how I remove verdigris/ the unsightly green gunk that can get on pieces of jewelry.
Please watch the content all the way through as some of these methods will not work with rhinestones.

You clean using the same old good methods I grew up on as a farm child. Gentle, effective and thorough. PS. Verdigris is pronounced “vurr-di-greee” - s is silent. You are one of my favorite collectors!

Thank you for this vid! I hate verdigris, and I pass on pieces that have it because I don’t want any spread on any other of my jewelry! Excited to try your methods that obviously seem to work in future.

Thank you for this!! Rewatching!!

I have about 2 to 3 lbs of nice costume jewelry and I am afraid to clean the pieces.
Some have semi precious stones and pearls.
Any advice?

You didn’t clean the silver looking bracelet at the bottom of the screen. I have that one. It was my grandmother’s.

Would this work on a filigree necklace that I have? I don't believe filigree is real sterling silver. Thank you.

I have a 150 yr old garnet necklace that I can't polish with a cloth. I'm not doing tomato sauce... Idk

[fibienn]

Really useful. Thank you
Pro tip: it’s actually pronounced ver-de-gree 😊

[CopingwithGrattitude]

Do you have any experience with ultrasonic cleaner?

[TaliaMargherita]

Putting stranded beads in tomato sauce is a BAD idea. You can see how the sauce has discolored the cord that the beads are strung on.
