How do you clean your jewellery? Both cheap and not so cheap stuff?

[acewallgromit]

Have been given a new jewellery box for my b'day and was looking at my stash of bling. Some of it is really quite tarnished and I was wondering how to go about cleaning it. Can you clean up costume stuff? Also I have some proper bling that needs tlc too. Any thought on good products? I saw a sort of jewellery bath thing, but is that just a gimmick? What do jewellers use?

Jewellers use an ultrasonic machine, buffers, barrel polishers etc etc... they have options for every type of jewellery and it costs ££££.

For big ticket items I'd put them in to be cleaned professionally, as they get a checkup at the same time. I bung mine in at the same time (multiple items) once or twice a year and it costs me £30.

For general home maintainence I'd get a jewellery cloth and a baby toothbrush.

Costume doesn't clean.
