- Cleaning Vintage Jewelry. Today I’m going to show the different methods I use for cleaning pieces of vintage costume jewelry. I will also show how I remove verdigris/ the unsightly green gunk that can get on pieces of jewelry.
Please watch the content all the way through as some of these methods will not work with rhinestones.
You clean using the same old good methods I grew up on as a farm child. Gentle, effective and thorough. PS. Verdigris is pronounced “vurr-di-greee” - s is silent. You are one of my favorite collectors!
Thank you Maureen! 😊❤️❤️❤️
I love the hairdryer method for drying cleaned jewelry. I use it all the time!!! Favorite tip I’ve ever learned!

Thank you for this vid! I hate verdigris, and I pass on pieces that have it because I don’t want any spread on any other of my jewelry! Excited to try your methods that obviously seem to work in future.

I’m guessing white vinegar and dawn soap is probably the best way to go!!

I have about 2 to 3 lbs of nice costume jewelry and I am afraid to clean the pieces.
Some have semi precious stones and pearls.
Any advice?
If they have semi precious stones or pearls then I would highly recommend having them professionally cleaned by a jeweler. Profesional cleaning isn’t as expensive as you would think. I would call around and get a few estimates. Hope this helps ❤️❤️❤️
Thank You from Puerto Rico.
Your welcome Angelina! Hello!❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
Would this work on a filigree necklace that I have? I don't believe filigree is real sterling silver. Thank you.
Yes I’ve used it on costume filigree 🙂❤️❤️
@@VintageVariety thank you

These are ways to the jewerly cleaner came out. We also used dish soap and an old toothbrush remember an aunt of mine used on her jewerly, that is, before
Excellent!❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
Do you have any experience with ultrasonic cleaner?
Hi Aimee, I’m not a fan of the ultrasonic cleaner. It works okay on fine jewelry but not so much for costume. 😊❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing
Thank you!❤️❤️❤️
Very helpful.
Thank you Beverly😊❤️❤️❤️
Do u rinse off the vinegar water?
Yes😊❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank You for this!
Your welcome Wanda❤️thank you for watching❤️❤️❤️
You didn’t clean the silver looking bracelet at the bottom of the screen. I have that one. It was my grandmother’s.
Your correct Shannon. I didn’t clean it during the content. Many of my subscribers do not like for my content to run too long so I skipped that pieces but it’s the same method to clean that piece. Thank you for watching 😊❤️❤️❤️
I have a 150 yr old garnet necklace that I can't polish with a cloth. I'm not doing tomato sauce... Idk
Hi GirlJayme have you considered having it professionally cleaned? Most jewelers will provide cleaning for a small service, especially if it’s done in precious metals.
Thank you. New subbie here. Take care
Thank you Peppermint!❤️❤️❤️I see you have a channel. I’m going to subscribe and watch some of your videos 😊
Putting stranded beads in tomato sauce is a BAD idea. You can see how the sauce has discolored the cord that the beads are strung on.

You sound awfully Southern or am I wrong? I am in AL.
Yes I am southern. I was born and grew up the foothills of the Appalachian in Georgia 😊
That old glue looks horrible but the earrings look much better! You might could carefully pick that off with some dental tools.
❤️❤️❤️
Really useful. Thank you
Pro tip: it’s actually pronounced ver-de-gree 😊
❤️
You do not pronounce the s in Verdigris
Thank you!❤️
Verdigris is french and pronounced Verdi gree
❤️❤️❤️
It’s pronounced Verdegree, not verdigris it’s French word.
😊 thank you
Thank you 🎉
Thank you! I appreciate you watching 😊
