A friend told me to use toothpaste once. It worked on the necklace I tried it on. There's something else too but I can't think of it right now.

They're usually 2 for $5 there.
Pick up a red jar, too. It makes your diamonds nice and sparkly!!!

Re: Tarnished Jewlery???

I found this online:

You need:
1. An aluminum pan (like the disposable ones you buy to bake a cake or pie)
2. Hot Water (must be boiling hot)
3. Box of Baking Soda

Place your silver jewelry on the aluminum pan first. Spread the pieces out so each piece of jewelry is touching the aluminum pan and so that it is not too crowded.

Boil water in kettle, when it reaches boil, pour the boiling water into the aluminum pan so that the jewelry is completed covered by the water.

Last, sprinkle in the baking soda into the water. The water will start fizzling and sizzling and steam will come out that smells like rotten eggs. The steam is partly composed of the sulfur (which creates the tarnish). Stir the water a little to make sure all the baking soda dissolves.

After the fizzling stops, you can pour the water out and rinse everything with cold water to wash off the baking soda. Most of the jewelry will look like new! If some are still tarnished, just repeat the process again.
