Dear Lynn:
Nice to see the difference between the two pendants.
Is this a high silver content? if so please refer me to the Ingrid's cleaning method.. where can I find the text for that.
Thanks
Hi Mustafa, these are tested as high silver, my guess is 800. I have copied our dear member Ingrid's method below. This was the first time I tried it, I liked that it is not an abrasive or strong acid (like chemical silver cleaner.)
Here is what Ingrid says,
Lynn's comments: I did 3 boils with detergent and salt, this and 4 other pieces I haven't posted yet, and then one boil with vinegar instead of lemon as I did not have lemon. They only needed a few minutes on the boil, but the dirt really did not come off until the water was actually at a gentle boil. The water was like mud on the first two boils and there were actually little twigs and plant matter in the jewelry somewhere! I then gently used a rouge cloth.
Good work Lynn you have added your experience to my recommendations like what can be expected p.e. very muddy water. Lets see how @ Mustafa is going to test it.Gr. Ingrid.
