This Is the Easiest Way to Get Silver, Brass, and Copper Jewelry Sparkling Clean

This Is the Easiest Way to Get Silver, Brass, and Copper Jewelry Sparkling Clean

A couple Christmases ago, tucked inside a box containing a beautiful pair of earrings, I received a tiny present that may be even better than the jewelry itself: a metal polishing cloth. At first, I didn’t think much of the unassuming square of fabric, but after wearing my new silver earrings for a couple weeks, I realized how amazing this simple cleaning cloth was. Without having to use any messy creams or time-consuming soaks, this magical cloth was somehow able to make the metal look brand-new within just a couple minutes. For those who don’t have time to treat their jewelry to a mini bubble bath once per week (who does?), but can handle giving their accessories a quick polish while watching Netflix, this cloth is about to change the jewelry-cleaning game.

The best-selling jewelry polishing cloth on Amazon, this large 12-by-15-inch cloth costs just $7, and has more than 2,000 positive reviews from verified purchases. While the non-toxic fabric was originally developed for polishing silver by the company Sabrina Silver, it also works on most other metals, including copper, brass, and gold. In the reviews, several customers share their before-and-after pictures, so you can see firsthand how it makes all types of metals shine.

Jewelry trends at Fall/Winter 2016-2017 Fashion Week

Jewelry trends at Fall/Winter 2016-2017 Fashion Week

After Spring/Summer’s Nineties style tsunami, a wind of fresh innovation blew through the ranks of jewelry designers for Fall/Winter 2016-2017, with cuffs and bracelets over sleeves, strings of pearls, single earrings, layering and safety pins all hitting the runway. Our new jewelry obsessions from New York, London, Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks.

The pearl has been emerging from the cocoon of its rather staid and traditional image for the past few seasons, revisited as ear cuffs and graphic chokers by a new generation of inspired young jewelry designers. But this winter sees a return to its Parisian roots, albeit with a vintage twist, as if it’s been borrowed and paired with denim patches, military jackets and the sports sweaters that are so very now.

.Long, graphic, hoops or earcuffs, the only way to wear earrings right now is on their own. The single earring was one of the biggest trends of the season, first emerging on the runways in New York and London and confirmed as a trend in Paris.

After emerging as a trend for Spring/Summer 2016, the Nineties revival has taken firm hold, producing rebel jewelry to match. With piercings at Dior and elsewhere, chokers with silver-dipped chains and layers of necklaces worn between leather jackets and hoodies, it was chrome and black as far as the eye could see.

Earring mash-ups was another bold statement backed by designers this season, taking in several styles in one look.

After uncut necklaces and pendants appeared on the Spring/Summer 2016 runway, crystal mania took hold with raw stones featuring again on the catwalk for winter. Radically different stones appeared as earrings at Proenza Schouler and provided an anchoring detail to strengthen the impact of clothing at Dries Van Noten and Calvin Klein.

After ear jackets that hang under the lobe and ear cuffs on the cartilage, the earring's latest incarnation cuts right across the ear itself in a balanced and original piece with plenty of character.
