How can I clean my filigree jewellery?

There are a number of methods you can use for cleaning your filigree jewellery;

Several of our customers have said that they have cleaned their silver jewellery with toothpaste, so today I have decided to try this method and share the results with you.

To start with cleaning any filigree work  use a soft brush to remove any excess dirt,

following  this I coated my bracelet with toothpaste and then proceeded to scrub it with my toothbrush & hot water (recommend soft bristles for this method of cleaning).

I think I was fairly persistent with my scrubbing and can definitely see a change in the bracelet – photos below, and Seba Dizajn smells minty fresh.

Use a soft cloth of strong tissue to buff the silver work for an additional shine.

Although not 100% sold on the toothpaste cleaning method  I can see a change (I think I preferred the darker colours as they highlight the filigree work – will have to take the bracelet swimming tomorrow!).  On a different note, I may have found my new favourite prop for taking bracelet photos.

For now I’m off to buy myself a new toothbrush before the Konzum closes, thanks for stopping by.
