Reddit reviews Modern Artisans Trio of Sunshine Polishing Cloths for Sterling Silver, Gold, Brass Copper Metal Jewelry (Set of 3 Tubes)

Silver polishing cloths will be fine. The chemical used won't damage the stone, they'll just take off the oxidation. Here's a quick link.

It won't brighten the silver up to a mirror finish, but depending on how long you've had this, you might consider getting the shank of the ring repolished at a jewelry store and the stone checked for any damage.

Hey everyone! I posted a few weeks ago with concerns about the cut of my moissanite stone - it was cloudy, dull, and had no fire.

I left the company name out of my original post because I wanted to keep things objective, but the stone was from C&C and I was very disappointed.

After I posted and got confirmation from you guys that something looked off, I called their customer support and they sent me a special cleaning cloth free of charge to remove any “film” or oil slick from the stone. Honestly, I wasn’t super impressed with this resolution and didn’t have high hopes it would works, but I tried to keep a positive attitude until the cloth arrived.

Well, it arrived yesterday and holy crap. This stone looks SO MUCH BETTER! There is actually fire and sparkles to the stone. I’m so happy, I can’t stop looking at it.

I’ve heard that other people have needed to clean a film off their stone, but didn’t think I would have that issue with a brand new stone. So, if you’re having issues with dullness in your moissanite I would recommend you give the sunshine cloth a try!

Ooo, that's hard rubber. Do not submerge in water. In fact, don't get the outside wet at all. It'll cause the rubber to discolor and turn brown.

If it doesn't have a lever (I'm guessing not), it's an eyedropper filler, so the section probably unscrews from the barrel. You're probably okay putting the section/nib in water to dissolve old ink. To flush the inside of the barrel, use an eyedropper to fill it with water, plug the top with your thumb, and shake. Dump and repeat until the ink is gone.

As for polishing the metal parts, I like to use a Sunshine Cloth. Go gentle! It may only be a thin gold plating over brass.

Pens of this age are more museum pieces than useful tools. But they're certainly cool!

It says Sunshine on the bags and I bought it from Amazon, specifically this seller.

I have had GREAT luck with rock stores (ie where you would go to buy crystals/geodes/etc). My local rock store has a yearly trunk show, and I end up getting really cool stuff for very reasonable prices. Lots of cool/interesting pendants, rings, etc. I'm wearing a dendritic agate ring from there right now, actually!

Things at rock stores are often set in Sterling Silver, so the maintenance is very easy and they go with a lot of different things. The added benefit is that you can find things that can be either fun and funky or classic and serious depending on the context of the rest of your outfit. I don't do earrings this way so much, but it's GREAT for rings and pendants.

I also second whoever said local vintage/resale places. I always check the jewelry display at my local savers and Goodwills. The jewelry at vintage shops is often a little more curated, but it can be a crapshoot as far as quality goes. I have specific stores I go to for their jewelry selection, but I only know to go there for jewelry because I've spent a lot of time looking at the case and deciding if it's worth it. Additionally, Goodwill has the "Goodwill boutique" stores now, and those are often filled with higher-quality or trendier items.

My #1 tip: silver tarnishes. Most resale shops do not polish it. You can find amazing, tarnished silver jewelry that cleans up right away with a sunshine cloth. Get a sunshine cloth.

My #2 tip: sometimes vintage stores will have pins/brooches that are amazing. You can often convert these to pendants. I've become much more of a brooch person recently due to some amazing happenstance discoveries, and I always get compliments on them. A lot of people consider brooches to be an old lady thing (which is absurd imo) so you can make some amazing finds.

I've gotten pretty things at Madewell, too, but I have a mixed track record with those things breaking, so YMMV. Another thing I'd say for this time of year is to hit up those Christmas craft market pop-ups--you'll find cool stuff that you might not encounter just searching online.

If you have a dremel tool, there are buffer pads and rouge (sp? and need coffee) you can buy at any hardware store also a sunshine cloth works well.

You can use to buff out the spots. In a pinch Tabasco works, just dab on the spot and let it sit for a few minutes. If you are going to use the pan for decoration only, after you polish it up use a tad bit of johnson pastewax to keep it from oxidizing.

Edit: looks like hard water stains from the pic but it is hard to tell. How long did you let it sit in vinegar?

Edit again: I hope these pots don't have a lacquer coating. I don't think they do but if they do forget everything I posted. :)
