There are a number of methods you can use for cleaning your filigree jewellery;
Several of our customers have said that they have cleaned their silver jewellery with toothpaste, so today I have decided to try this method and share the results with you.
To start with cleaning any filigree work use a soft brush to remove any excess dirt,
following this I coated my bracelet with toothpaste and then proceeded to scrub it with my toothbrush & hot water (recommend soft bristles for this method of cleaning).
I think I was fairly persistent with my scrubbing and can definitely see a change in the bracelet – photos below, and Seba Dizajn smells minty fresh.
Use a soft cloth of strong tissue to buff the silver work for an additional shine.

Although not 100% sold on the toothpaste cleaning method I can see a change (I think I preferred the darker colours as they highlight the filigree work – will have to take the bracelet swimming tomorrow!). On a different note, I may have found my new favourite prop for taking bracelet photos.
For now I’m off to buy myself a new toothbrush before the Konzum closes, thanks for stopping by.

So, what is the prop you have put the bracelet on?
So, what is the white object (the prop you refer to) that you have used to mount your bracelet for cleaning?
It is a ceramic cup from Mahaguthi, a Fair Trade group in Nepal. They are such great cups, shaped to look like disposable plastic cups but ceramic!
