What home remedy works on tarnished silver?

This is one of the most common questions I see here.

What My Jeweler Said

My bench jeweler told me the main thing people regret is skimping on the setting. The stone itself is fine, but a weak prong will let it fall out. Spend a bit more on a solid setting.

Bottom Line

Yes, it is worth it for most people. Just buy from a known seller and inspect the prongs every six months.

Let me break this down clearly.

My Setup

I wear mine every day, including to the gym and to sleep. After a year and a half it still looks brand new.

What to Watch Out For

• Buy from a reputable seller, not a random listing
• Ask about the color grade before you order
• Get a certificate of authenticity

My only regret is not sizing up slightly. It fits snug now that winter is coming.

I will give you the straight answer. My ring came from Brilliant Earth with a full certificate. It depends on your skin and how often you wear it. Mine is fine, but a friend had issues within weeks.

Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.
