I just needed to say thank you with more than just a thumbs up. I bough a cheep princess tiara for my girlfriend like 4 years ago. It got really rusted over the years. I Tried cleaning it with a more complicated method but it just didn't work. I tried this and it looks like new. She is now planing on wearing it for our wedding in a few months. So thanks again this was a huge help.
How was the wedding?
Aw thats cute, congrats!
Just a little tip, if you buy pretend silver or gold, after wearing it, make sure you put it away in a little seal plastic bag, a small sandwich bag will do, flattening it so that there is little air left in there. I have found that they does not tarnish then. This also applies to silver chains or pendants. Something else if you are cleaning as above in the sink, make sure you put the plug in so if any small parts break off while cleaning, you can save them.
I bought a fake gold chain in a seal plastic bag..forgot I bought it and then when I saw it again it was tarnished.... :((
Doesn’t work
1somebody I used to work with coming to do that/and literally my earrings have lasted!! that I am cheap but I'm one to loose alot of very $$$ Jewelery In the past/so angry when I loose It!🙆😥😡
If it turns your skin green like a ring or something, put a coat or two of clear nail polish on the inside of the ring. It should stop it from doing so. Hope it helps
thank you
Thanks you, I never thought of that
@@veemontana718thanks
Only thing about this is how the skin will react to the nail polish, different person's.
Great tip. The baking soda foil hot water combo works on silver I had badly tarnished silver and it comes up like new!
I have heard of the toothpaste one before but for the jewelry I was trying to clean today this did not work but mixing white vinegar salt and water in a bowl and scrubbing it with a toothbrush worked Miracles hope this helps
Does this method work
@@Slattboi23 that's on way to rub the gold right off so dont
Yes it didn't work on mine either so Thank you for the Vinegar and salt trick ❤
My mom was throwing her earring out.
Me: MOM DON'T DO THIS! I AM GONNA RESCUE THEM!
Me: Comes to video.
OMG thank u sooooo much for this video. I've been throwing away all my fake/tarnished jewelry and constantly replacing it. You are soo going to save me a ton of money! Thanks again!
Yay, thank you. This method restored a necklace my daughter gave me as a Mothers Day gift, bought at Kohls. We previously had sour faces when it got drab but now we are smiling again :)
7 years ago and Your still freaking awesome with this informative information
I tried this right after I watched the video above and IT WORKED!!! I couldn't believe it. I purchased a necklace from Urban Outfitters for like, $16 a couple months ago. It's a thin chain with a small "gold" bar (that's really made of "mixed metal", it's says on their website). It has a small 'a' on it for my daughter's name, anyway, it became tarnished-like more dark then gold colored. It looked grossed so I haven't worn it for awhile... :( This toothpaste+toothbrush+scrubbing method worked really well, and it's super easy; no time at all. It's not as shiny as it used to be (as expected, I suppose), but the varnish disappeared! I wish I would have known about this a long time ago. The only tip I have is be careful with inexpensive jewelry when scrubbing, don't do it too hard! Thanks for listening!!!
This is off subject but I started shopping at Urban Outfitters (online) like a year ago and i was buying sale items I ran acrossed a shirt with a pentagram and bought it. I have realized it is Satanic totally the eyes are in the pyramids at each tip of the star.Then I went into the store and was looking around and came acrossed Tarot Cards ( I used to use tarot cards for years and guess who showed up) I am shocked that store would sell something like that kids are going to buy those type of products that is not good. I just wanted to let u know about it.
starts method at 3:11 - use toothpaste and scrub with toothbrush, then rinse and dry well right away.
I just wanted to say thank you very very much for refreshing my memory on how to clean cheap jewelry you really saved my butt with my wife's pendant that she has because I put it in the wrong cleaner because she told me it was real silver but it actually wasn't and she was devastated when it got tarnished but with this method I was able to bring it back to life so thank you very much again I liked the video and subscribed to your channel and I also hit the notification bell as well !!!! And p.s. this method made the pendant look alot better than when we first had purchased the pendant so thanks a million 😊
I have never thanked anyone for a google tip until now. But you sererve it!!!! Your toothpaste method for cleaning base metal jewelry made two beautiful ankle bracelets I bought in India for 2 USD each!!!!! look like sterling silver as they did the day I bought them 1 1/2 years ago! MIRACLE
OMG. I LOVE YOU. I had a bunch of cheap earrings, $3-5, that I didn’t want to part with, but looked too worn and dull to wear. A little toothpaste and I have five “new” earrings. Even saved Moms ‘60s mod earrings. Thanks!
This is a life saver. I used to throw away my old jewelry but now I'll definitely clean them like this!!! Thanx!!!
this saved a necklace that i love so much from my boyfriend. i was so upset when it tarnished, but this helped so much and made it shine 🥰
Awesome tip as always! I love it when I see one of your videos in my subscription box. Your the best Kathryn!
hahaha
This was great thank you x Straight to the point no flicking of the hair , pouting etc etc lol !! GRT INFO ! MUCH LOVE FROM THE UK X
I used this on a tarnished stainless steel ring. IT WORKED. Thank you so much💃
Wow! I didn't know this one. Thank you for sharing!
Oh my god feels so good seeing one of your initial videos. I have been following you for 4 yrs I guess and I so enjoy your videos
Great tip! My cousin cleans her "real" jewelry with this method, and it makes me nervous for some reason, but she swears by it! I'm willing to try it out on my cheap stuff though...saves me from throwing it all out!! Thanks :)
You can also blow-dry jewelry (on low) after you've hand dried it, works like a charm :)
So needed this for my Forever 21 jewelry!! Great tip!
oh my gosh you are my life savior, I was going to throw my jewelry way but good thing I didn't, and thank you so much for sharing :-)
really it works for u???
+Aqsa Latif, yes it does work
My mom taught me this when I was very young - it actually works on real jewelry as well.
OMG! I've thrown so much jewelry not knowing this tip, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Gracias from Mexico
haha! I love your "yaaaaay clean jewelry!". 😁
I got this cheap septum jewelry that turned green after like 5 showers and i thought I had to throw her away lmao
Thanks so much for this video
how's the result?
hello, i have the same problem do you mind telling me if it worked?
@@justinbraineuy5742 perfect. ofc it depends on severity. Mine was tarnished a bit of rosy colored rust,wasn't really noticeable, but I don't wear it anymore. But it did take the green away and it looks rather new. It shines and cleans silver/metal up really good. You may have to do it a couple times but it does the job
Definitely suggest colgate works best.
I antique shop a lot especially for jewelry as well. So I clean with colgate and the necklaces, rings everything looks brand new always
@@animeforlife1009 yesss I do it to this day! Whenever my cheap jewelry from Walmart starts going green lol colgate and a medium to firm toothbrush are your friend. And remembering not to shower in them too helps
LOL Never ever get cheap jewelry wet. That is the quickest way possible to encourage tarnish and even in some cases, rust.
It worked! I was skeptical that it wouldn’t work on my cheap jewelry that tarnished by my humidifier over the winter months. But it got rid of it all! Here’s a tip though: wear gloves, or else your hands will feel a bit minty from the toothpaste 🤣 my hands are tingling
wow thats a great tip..in fact my mom told me this method once to clean my rings..i never used that though but may be i'll use it now after seeing how sparkly these pieces turned out..thanks for sharing..
Thank you so much! I was about ready to throw my fav necklace out but then I found this!
Thank so much! Worked like a “charm”, Lol!
Quick, to the point, and so helpful!! Thank you💎
Can you clean cheap metal watch bands this way?
Dude FOR THOSE DOUBTING THIS HACK.....i thought this was one of those stupid hacks that don't actually work and i tried it on a piece of fake jewelry that is really special to me AND IT FRICKEN WORKS!!! THIS WOMAN IS A GENIUS. MY JEWELER LOOKS BRAND SPANKIN NEW!
Was it gold or silver?
I wish I had seen this video yesterday!! I just threw a bunch of jewelry away because I didn't know how to clean it! :(. Thank you SO much for this tip, Katherine!!
Thank you for uploading this video almost all my jewelry became lack lustre because I did not know how to clean them, I am going to use this trick to clean all my cheap artificial jewelry your way.
here are my two cents: it works and you can get rid of even the green parts with tootpaste. you won’t fully see the effected until you rinsed it off. some items though eg. little medalions have an extra coat of shine on them. when getting rid of the green/black chances are you will scrub this off and the jewelry will look duller but won’t be “dirty” anymore.i think it’s an ok price to pay.
Great tip...I've done this before on my rings. BTW your makeup is flawless...gorgeous MaMa!
This lady is a jewelry saver! Thank you!
I have been googling for hours! I can't find anything about getting too-yellow-FAKE-gold necklace, to tarnish/change/tone the fake bright color. Any tips would be great! Thanks ♡

Omg!!! 😱 It worked, thank you.
I loved my fake jewelry . Now it looks fantastic. ❣️😊
I've done this before and it does work really well. The only thing is that I find after a few days, even if I haven't worn them, they start to tarnish again. Not sure why, maybe I'm not storing them correctly. Any ideas for that?
OMG- I just inquired a company(webpage) where I bought an EXPENSIVE (LOL) cheap earrings how to clean the earrings which became this blackish. You helped me not throw out the pretty earrings.
I tried, but didn't work, are you sure you have fake jewelry and not silver one?
tried it on my fake gold ring which had gone copper, worked like magic. but sadly didnt work in my fake silver necklace. it was new and had slight copper tarnish, doing this made the whole charm copper colored.
Would this work for a ring? I have a silver emerald ring that I wear everyday and I noticed around the back some rusty looking spots. This is my favorite ring and it was my great grandmothers ring so I wanna keep it in good condition.
Omg! I just tried this and it worked within seconds! Thank you so much
I used this method on my Harry Potter time turner, and it really worked 👍🏻👍🏻
Perfect timing! Thank you for sharing information. I was just getting ready to throw out one of my favorite pairs. Yaaa!
OMG Thank you!! I have A TON of fake diamond studs that have a terrible greenish tint....I was going to toss them but now I will try this!
You are an absolute genius! I love you! You totally saved my life 💖🙌
I tried and it worked like a charm! Brilliant.
Oh I forget to mention I am following you now, cause good advice and tips are hard to find.
It works good on Sterling Silver,though i prefer the white paste over the gel :)
I like all your videos. They are informative and full of life. This information is very helpful. I was looking for it for long time. Thank you for the video!!!!
Aloha, thank you, I forgot how great toothpaste works. You have a new Subscriber💎.
I wanna make my bracelet silver again 🥺 i feel like these methods will make it more worse
Does it work with Claire's jewelry? I have a necklace I bought there last year because my cousin was moving away for college. I saw two necklaces together for 13 bucks and we stopped wearing them because they tarnished. I really wish to wear it again so I can always remember to keep trying hard to get into college too. Help, please?
it works on my jewelry that I got from Claire's.
I tried it on my jewellery and it really worked🥳🥳 (except for chains😕). Thank you for the amazing trick.💖 I was going to throw the jewellery but than I thought to try some hacks on them and I am so glad that I tried. 🤗🤗
I tried this on 2 different jewellery and they got worse. Any tips :/?
Great video. I wonder if using a hair dryer to dry pieces would work.
Thank you this is a life saver I really loved my hoops and I didnt want to throw they away💛
THANKS! Worked GREAT on an old intricate necklace I have
Just cleaned my jewelry box out, and was wondering how to clean all my cheap stuff. Thanks!
Loved this! I have been looking for a way to clean my cheap jewelery. Thank u!!!!
Hi, great video. You've been missed. Glad you are back. How is baby Carson? Hope all is well.
Wow!!!!!!!!!! This just saved my life!!! I mean my jewelry life
I didn't have to pace with me at the time so I used I cleaner and Dill soap it works exactly the same way thank you
This just saved my favorite jewelry! Thank you!
Thank you for posting this, I was thinking of trashing some of my pieces, so glad I didn't!
It works thank you so much
This seems to work for everyone else so Im not sure why it does NOTHING to remove the pink-toned tarnish from my fake silver jewelry...
I tried it and it works..thanks
white toothpaste did the magic... it perfectly worked for both black metal, silver metal, n gold fake ones
Considering that you save a lot of money by buying things second hand, what would you do if you were in my situation?
will that work if I got a ring from Clair's and when I put water it gets dirty
aliaa lolo ya
No, but this seriously worked for my glasses. Thank you so much for sharing!
Works like a charm! I've tried with many things but toothpaste cleans it in no time. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much, you just saved my jewelry!!!

Wow, this worked so well. Thank you!
Will this work for that kind of 'pink' looking rust on cheap jewelry?
