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.

All I can say is "WOW!" This silver cleaner is AMAZING!! I had NO IDEA it was going to work this wonderfully! I had a drawer full of really tarnished sterling silver jewelry that I had not worn in over 15 years or so. You know how it gets so bad and tarnished after you don't wear it for a while that you just don't want to even TRY to polish it? You have to buy a polishing cream and use a toothbrush to get in all of the tiny nooks and crevices, or maybe a polishing cloth which can't get into those nooks and crevices............ so the jewelry remains unworn, getting darker and darker........ Well, I bought this as an "Add on" for a $25 Free Shipping order. It was well worth it. SO worth it! I am shocked! I put my sterling jewelry into the little basket and like it said, I dunked it in and left it for only 10 seconds (NO LONGER!) and pulled it out and OMG everything was shiny and brand new looking! Every little crevice and tiniest places you could never polish with cream or a cloth was sparkling and bright and so silvery it astounded me! I dunked everything I had--ALL of my sterling and holy cow, it's like I've got a whole new cash of new jewelry to wear again! Amazing stuff!!! Only 10 seconds. Says not to use on gemstones, but I took a chance and did anyhow, and the only ones that came out not looking shiny anymore were some fake pearls. But the garnets, the amethysts, the blue topaz, the citrine, all beautiful. However, follow directions---don't use it on any gemstones you don't want to take a risk with. Well worth the very very cheap price. So easy and fast to use. I am SOLD!!!!!!! (I was going to scrap all of this sterling and get the $$$ for it, but now I'm keeping ALL of it!) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! A+++++++!!!

Have used before happy with its performance

je suis ravie de mon achat, le produit est top, j'avais des bijoux en argent oxydés, ils sont redevenus comme neufs, ils ont retrouvés leurs éclats, je recommande ce produit, l'utiliser avec prudence car je pense qu'il est corrosif !
