Austin BirdstoneTuesday, December 9, 2008. Caring for Sterling Silver Jewelry. For those that like bright shiny silver I suggest a dip. The layer of oxidation/tarnish can be removed without by simply dipping your silver jewelry in this non-toxic electrochemical dip. Most stones will be fine in the dip. However, do not use this with pearls or opals. Another advantage to using a dip is that the liquid can reach places a polishing cloth cannot. Here is the recipe. 2 Fill the foil-lined container with steaming hot water.
