My DH buffed up a stack of mexican silver bangle bracelets, that now look awesome. Some of them are twisted silver, and are difficult to "shine" by themselves (I have the cloth and the liquid submersible cleaner), but when Dh buffed them, they have a really high shine, that I would like to keep for a bit before I make him do it again
any suggestions on how to keep this nice shine on the bracelets??

I keep all my silver in its own pouch NEVER together. I do clean them all the time, before I wear it. I never clean or do dishes with my silver on, it does tend to turn them . what I have found is just keeping them seperated when not using.

Normally sterling silver will stay shiny if you wear it. When it sits, it seems to tarnish.

I read somewhere to wipe them with a baking soda and water mix. I have a silver charm bracelet, but, I never wear it, so I don't clean it.....maybe I'll dig that out and try it.

You know those little packets of silicone you get in your shoe box? Use one of those with a plastic bag and they will stay nice and shiny.

Life! is a coin. You can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.

Before I got silver jewelry cleaner (I wear a silver charm necklace on a daily basis - it never comes off!) I used : aluminum foil, put jewelry on it, cover it with baking soda, and dump boiling water on top of it.

The jewelry came out very nice! The chemical reaction with the soda and foil helped to take the tarnish off.

However, I do still have to clean my necklace. Even though it only comes off to clean, it still does tarnish.
