• A jeweler’s polishing cloth contains chemicals that remove tarnish from the jewelry piece. However, these cloths leave a chemical residue on the metal finish. This results in a chemical reaction between the cloth residue and the alloy metals in the gold or silver.  This chemical reaction causes the jewelry piece to tarnish faster and deeper. Our Polishing Cream works by simply wiping the tarnish away, not by dissolving it with a chemical reaction. This process allows your jewelry to stay tarnish-free, longer.
