How to Clean Tarnished PANDORA Silver Charms, Bracelets and Other Jewellery

[@janessarojas9353]

Thank you so much for this video! I wanted to cry seeing how tarnished my bracelet had become but I was able to restore it with your help!

[@crasicatlady]

Thank you! In 5 min I cleaned 2 rings and 2 necklaces. They look new! I just used the second method. Can't argue with results. Gonna share this video!.

[@vionadsouza4970]

Thank u for your video my bracelet was black and I didn't know how to clean it. I followed your video and now my pandora is like new😊

[@RoRo-hb4kr]

Absolutely perfectly cleaned my tarnished silver charm thanks 🙏🏼

[@80s90smovies.]

If your Pandora bracelet is full of grime and the charms are tarnished, and you just know that it needs cleaning, you may be wondering if you could maybe take it back to the nearest Pandora store to have it cleaned. The good news is that you can, and the best part is that you won’t have to pay for the service.

[@rosiegirl7112]

Just have to add this - all .925 sterling silver that is NOT coated will tarnish. The speed of tarnishing depends on many factors - air exposure, humidity, individual skin chemistry, etc. The reason you might not see tarnish on other .925 SS jewelry is that it is often coated with rhodium or other non tarnish substance., just depends on what the manufacturer decides to do. Pandora has always taken the route of NO coatings that is why some of the sales assoc. say 100% silver when what they mean is NO coatings. It is still the same .925 SS and not junk and it will tarnish to varying degrees. Use the polishing cloth before it gets overly tarnished and wear it. (also keeping it stored out of the open air helps).

[@justanotherhuman8592]

Thank you!!!! Saves me going to Pandora and having them do it there. Managed to find that brand of cloth too on Amazon. Didn't think Id find it in the UK! Great stuff!!!!

[@LadyDiaVa]

Thank you for this message, I also know the same cleaning method using Borax,hot water an an aluminum tray or bowl,very efficient for cleaning all jewelry,except Opal.

[@mamamia5556]

Sharing from my own experience, I wore daily Pandora matching neckpiece & bracelet with charms 925 sterling silver even during bath since I received it from my daughter in 2016, never break never tarnish and still shiny👌

[@pikanova]

The baking soda method works. To remove the remainig stains you can rub backing soda powder in the dry pandora piece with a toodbrush

[@sarashepard7504]

Simple to the point and informative

[@mad4pandora804]

Oh no. I can't believe you are suggesting this for Pandora. I've done this before. It even removes the oxidation from engraved words and makes the inside of the clips which are meant to be oxidized all funky. Also some of the Pandora went a funny yellow tint. I don't recommend doing baking soda. In my 10+ years of collecting it was only when I tried this that I wrecked some.

[@nisaayua]

Yes, the baking soda ruins the chemical

[@modelchic9961]

So what do you prefer cause pandora messed mines up from whatever they used then it started to tarnish i need to know what to use?

[@mad4pandora804]

@@modelchic9961 I store my Pandora in proper Pandora jewellery boxes. They are anti tarnish. Never store Pandora in the square ones that come free with your purchase. Unless they are the special GWP ones. Even alot of jewellery boxes from stores are anti tarnish. Once your Pandora is tarnished though or even before it gets that bad, I use a few drops of dishwashing liquid like morning fresh and warm water to soak my Pandora. Take the bracelets etc apart though. Don't ever soak pearls, opals, or essence charms. Pandora has instructions for cleaning on their website too. After I soak for up to 10mins I usually add a bit more hot water again to make it warm again and use a soft toothbrush to rub the charms etc. A cotton bud can be good to clean inside the charm. I do a second lot of warm water to rinse them. The process can be repeated if the charms are very bad. I just dry on a tea towel or paper towel. After they are dry, I use a good quality polishing cloth to polish the charms etc. Connoisseurs polishing cloth are the brand I use. I hope this helps.

hello, if you’re your jewelry has precious stones in it, I recommend to not use baking soda. It could damage the stones. I usually use Dawn and lukewarm water and my Pandora items come out extremely shiny especially when I use the polishing cloth.

[@cebie941]

Umm baking soda... no thanks especially if the Pandora jewelry has stones, enamel, etc., this will be a disaster and common sense should probably tell you this. Also to those that are saying how badly their pieces are tarnishing... a couple of things could be happening. 1. you're not wearing the piece(s) enough, 2. the piece is not being stored properly (those little white polishing bags Pandora gives you are amazing), 3. you could be using soaps, lotions or perfumes that are causing it to change color.

Hello I cant find the cloth in the comment section. Anyone able to get me a link to Amazon or the link he has provided for that particular cloth? Thanks

[@Heni-chan]

Why is this happening to PANDORA pieces?😢Never happened with my other (non pandora) silver jewelry

[@shirben-moshe4757]

Really? All silver tarnish quite easily. Maybe your other jewelry is plated with rhodium? Or is it stainless steel and not silver?

[@AndreUtrecht]

@@shirben-moshe4757 My mother is wearing a 925 silver bracelet. For over a year now. And it has not tarnished yet.

[@sarashepard7504]

Because most silver has a clear varnish over it to prevent the tarnish.

[@thomashiscocks7348]

Some jewellery companies rhodium plate their silver which can slow down tarnishing Pandora do not do this

[@christiantiosen1737]

It really works!! ❤️ thanks! ❤️

[@malinagrimsley3394]

I would never use the baking soda method butThis is something I’ve done for years whether it’s fashion jewelry I’ve bought or pieces I’ve made myself. Some of you may have tried this as well and I’ll tell you now, this works. As soon as you purchase or make the jewelry, Simply take a high quality clear nail polish. Polish everything that is gold or silver plated and sterling silver. Before doing this, cover your work area with packaging tape. The reason is while your jewelry is drying, it will not stick to your work area and look “tacky” afterwards. Also, instead of putting your jewelry (other than rings) in a jewelry box, hang them on a jewelry hanger. Depending on how often you wear your pieces, this method should last for some time. You’ll know when it’s time to repeat the process but this method saves all engraving and no scratches. Hope this helps, works for me!!

[@tutorialedits1808]

Malina Grimsley clean it with toothpaste i totally recommended it’s what I’m doing

[@heatherwarner865]

I just did this with mine and knew what to expect. Yes, it will take off ALL patina whether purposefully there or not. Good news...it will return, silver tarnishes. Those little grooves will be filled in again soon with black. Why do you think people always had silver polishing days, true sterling tarnishes. This is actually the only safe way of polishing silver all creams and chemicals take a layer of the silver off, weakening it with time. This is the only method that will not weaken the silver. Any brown spots left behind is due to oxidation that will get better with buffing. If you are left with yellow looking silver it's from the oxidation of silver and hydrogen, which is in the air...use a polishing cloth then. You can take your bracelets and charms to a professional and they will still get all the patina out of the grooves. All the extra patina does is allow you to see the designs up close when you first buy, it's basically for first-time out of the store decoration purposes only.

I used to buy Pandora but I found it to be a waste of my money , I wear it just like all my other jewelry that's Sterling silver. I have NEVER had any other piece of jewelry tarnish like Pandora jewelry does , All my other Sterling silver still looks great but my Pandora is tarnish in spots which is sad. I just don't believe it's 100% Sterling silver. I don't want to buy jewelry for just the name , I want to buy it if it's great quality for my money and the price I pay.

And when their customers bring up issues with the jewelry quality , They shouldn't blame the customers for the jewelry turning colors.

I don’t buy Pandora jewellery anymore. Overtime it tarnishes and Pandora can never make it look shiny like you first buy it. I tried the toothpaste method, it worked some what but it is not the same.I am sure I have tried this method too and in the end I just gave up.

[@thomashiscocks7348]

That’s sterling silver, it’s a natural metal so it naturally tarnishes it’s got nothing to do with it being Pandora. I have been buying pandora for ten years for myself (yes men are allowed to wear it) so I have a hefty collection. I put the effort in and I clean and polish every single piece once a month, and not once have I ever experienced tarnishing and all my pieces even the old ones look like they are new from the shop. Why would you spend lots of money on jewellery to not look after it? I personally use and ultra sonic machine with a silver polishing cloth

Wow, Please DO NOT use baking soda on your jewellery as it will remove the oxidization in the words and crevasses that is supposed to be there, to show the detail and characteristics of your charms. This detailing has been put there on purpose by pandora themselves! Do you see how the words 'pandora' on the bangles clasp is alot less readable now? That is because you just stripped the detailing of oxidization! This is how you ruin your pandora and as a result makes resell value alot less.

Also toothpaste is also a HUGE no no with jewellery as it put tiny scratches all over your jewellery and will also strip it of its purposeful oxidization detailing!
