This week's Monday tip is brought to you by the letter H for Hydrogen Peroxide.
Simply fill a small glass or bowl with enough hydrogen peroxide to cover the jewelery you want to clean. Let it do it's thing (bubbling action) for a few hrs. If you have an old soft toothbrush, give it a little scrub at the end. Rinse with water, and you'll have gorgeous sparkling and gunk free jewelery for about $.04.
I've done this with silver and white gold and have never had issues, but if you're worried, consult your warranty policy that comes with fancier pieces!

Another option (which is safe even on pearls) is 1 C hot water, 1 T baking soda, 1 T salt, 1 T dish soap, combined in a bowl with a piece of aluminum foil in the bottom (I don't know what this does). I tossed in my jewelry for a minute or two, rinsed it off and patted it dry and it's all sparkly now!
