[@JamieBeeReseller]

Great washing video ❤

[@BlessedBaubles]

Thanks Jamie!! There will be more videos to come on other pieces and methods. Thanks for letting me know you are here! 😊 Do you like to clean jewelry?

[@JamieBeeReseller]

@@BlessedBaubles no not really,,, I used to clean it in the beginning but no more!! Lots of hard work for each piece. I think if it was vintage rhinestone jewelry I would love to see the before and after pictures.

[@christinagonzales2690]

Oh wow that magnifier is awesome! And thanks for the good info!

[@BlessedBaubles]

You are so welcome. ❤ I really like the magnifier too! I will go into many more jewelry cleaning questions in this series. Thanks for watching.

[@TinaTo10]

Cleaning jewelry with such care it's so therapeutic and rewarding, one has the chance to look closely at every piece and admire its intricacy and uniquenesss...😮

[@BlessedBaubles]

Wow Tina!! I was expecting that people may be bored with a jewelry cleaning video but you are making me very glad that I made it and I can't wait to make the next one!! You have also added a great point of view that I believe many may read and walk away with more appreciation for jewelry. Way to go!!

[@SandraU_1]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! 😊

[@BlessedBaubles]

Awww. You are so sweet!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm very encouraged with your response.

[@PGwenCoughran]

I enjoyed this video. I have used a toothbrush and toothpaste for years. This was recommended by a jeweler many moons ago……I have also used Bar Keepers Friend to clean silver and copper. It isn’t gritty so it won’t scratch metal. I have used it on very tarnished necklaces when nothing else helped. Gwen❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@BlessedBaubles]

Hi Gwen! I'm loving your ideas here! I'll have to try some of those for sure. I did get some Maas silver cleaner and will give that a go on one of my next episodes. Thank you so much! Glad you are here.

[@sheilaebers389]

Good information. Thanks!

[@BlessedBaubles]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ermannodisiena720]

Hi Cheri! This is so much fun seeing you clean jewelry. I always enjoy your videos so much , awesome magnifier!

[@BlessedBaubles]

Awww! Thanks so much!! I thought it might be boring. lol. So glad you are here.

[@gaylejudkins2244]

Great Job

[@BlessedBaubles]

Awww, thanks. I’ll get into more methods in this series. Do you have anything you’d like to see covered?

[@debrarobertson6900]

Thx for sharing your approach and what cleaning supplies you use, Cheri 👍

[@BlessedBaubles]

Thanks for watching Debra. I will go into many other jewelry cleaning questions in this series. I think you’ll like episode 2 better. But before I air that episode, we’ve got some unboxing to do!! I will probably be opening bag #3 as it has got the most votes. 😊

[@huskeyfosterfail4980]

Thanks

[@BlessedBaubles]

Thank YOU for watching. I’ll have more to come. Feel free to let me know if there is an issue you want me to cover. Or if you have something to add to this. Much appreciated. 😊

[@juneeastwood8391]

That was a very good lesson on cleaning metal jewelry. Thank you, Cheri!

[@BlessedBaubles]

Thank you June. You are so kind.

[@AMcDougall-p7h]

Hi Cheri! It's Anne from VT for the summer. Congrats on how well your move is going (except for the good loupe). I love this video and you gave me some great tips, so thank you. I always marvel at how carefully you work with your pieces. It is very hard work to be so thorough and yet so careful. It's true that sorting and cleaning jewelry is very therapeutic, maybe because it is using our hands in reward-driven activity? Please keep your videos coming and especially the ones where you're offering your pieces for sale - it's time to SHOP! xoxoxox

[@BlessedBaubles]

Thank you, dear Anne. You are such a love!!

[@pennynash5410]

Thank you for sharing Cheri! I use a toothbrush and mild dish soap . I also use these mini disposable mascara disposable brushes to get into tiny areas. I will try your method of mixing windex with soap next time!

[@BlessedBaubles]

Thanks for sharing!! I will look for those too.

[@myjewelryaddiction]

Great video Cheri ❤

[@BlessedBaubles]

Thank you, Tanya!! It's very honoring to know you stopped by.

[@UntangledTreasures]

I loved this video! You are so interesting! I’m learning so much from you!

[@BlessedBaubles]

Awesome! Thank you! I'm really glad you are here!

[@slogiraffe]

How fun is that magnifier ? If I had one I’d probably get nothing done. All day long I’d be looking at leaves, fabric, flowers, cool stationery, feathers and heaven knows what else !

[@BlessedBaubles]

It's very true. Another super fun jewelry tool!! Its awesome! I'm so glad you like it and I hope it makes for some good videos. Love seeing you here!

[@SmileyWiley76]

That was very nice/awesome of you to show us the cleaning process. I might be able to do this too soon. Time is of the essence lol

[@BlessedBaubles]

Please do!😊

[@violetgypsie]

Thank you for sharing your process. I tried a couple of your links and they are broken (magnifier, your favorite loupe). I didn’t try all the links, but you might want to check them. New sub.

[@BlessedBaubles]

Hello Violet. Thanks for subbing!! I'm so glad to know you are here. Welcome! 😊 I'm very sorry about the loupe. I realized it is not for sale on Amazon anymore, after I recorded this video. I went to buy another one and they were gone!! I had a fit!! But then I found them. Yay!! The loupe is called BelOMO and is made by Belarus! No wonder its so great!! You can go BelOMO website and get one there. I hope that helps. Thanks so so much!! ❤️

[@UntangledTreasures]

Would soaking something like that earring in vinegar and water work on hard to clean items? Or will that damage it?

[@BlessedBaubles]

Hi. If you put a timestamp in with your comment I'll be able to be sure which piece you are referring to. ok? Thanks. If it is the flower shaped earring I refer to that has a little bit more stubborn verdigris, I still would not soak it in vinegar. But that's just me. Again, I'd have to evaluate what a piece is worth and how much time I want to put into the piece before I spent too much time on it. On that pair, I'd just keep working at it gently, dipping the toothpick into the vinegar. I hope that helps. Thank you so much for such a great comment!

[@deborahoverton7733]

What ratio of dawn to Windex to water?

[@BlessedBaubles]

Hi Deborah. Any dish liquid or basic window cleaner will do. I didn't measure.. but I'd guess about 1 Tbsp of dish soap, 2 Tbsp of window cleaner, and 1 1/2 cups of warm water. But play around with it and see what works for you. Then let me know. Thanks so much!!

[@UntangledTreasures]

That’s silver and gold I think?

[@BlessedBaubles]

Hello Untangled. I'm not sure which you are referring to but if it's the jewelry in this video, most was Monet earrings, other vintage quality earrings, and just good costume jewelry plating. The silver tone as well. If you meant something else, please put a timestamp in your comment so I may go to the place you are referring to and respond appropriately. Thanks so much!
