How To Clean Silver Rings At Home

Silver rings are versatile, timeless accessories. They are suitable for a range of occasions and outfits and have a classic look that never goes out of style.


Silver is a durable metal that can withstand daily wear and tear, so it's an excellent choice for everyday jewelry. However, frequent wear can cause your favorite silver ring to collect dirt and other substances, leading to a dull appearance. Moreover, silver is prone to tarnishing. We recommend cleaning your silver ring periodically to keep it looking its best.

How To Clean Your Silver Rings At Home

Unlike gold, a softer metal and sensitive to harsh chemicals, you can clean your silver rings at home with various solutions, including baking soda, vinegar, and commercial silver cleaners.

Baking Soda And Water

Mix just enough baking soda and water to create a paste. Apply the paste to the silver ring with a soft cloth or brush, rub gently, then rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Vinegar And Baking Soda

Place the silver ring in a bowl of white vinegar and sprinkle baking soda over it. Let it sit for two to three hours, then rinse the ring with water and dry it with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Aluminum Foil, Baking Soda, And Salt

Line a bowl with aluminum foil and add hot water, one tablespoon of baking soda, and one tablespoon of salt. Place the silver ring in the bowl and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, remove the ring and rinse it with water before drying it with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Silver Polish

Use a specialized silver polish to remove tarnish from the silver ring. Apply the polish according to the manufacturer's instructions, then rinse the ring with water and dry it with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Cleaning Silver Gemstone Rings

Cleaning silver rings with gemstones requires extra care. Before cleaning, inspect the silver ring and the gemstones for any loose stones. If you notice any damage, take the ring to a jeweler to have it repaired. 


Use mild soap and water to clean the silver gemstone ring. Apply the solution with a soft cloth or brush, and avoid using harsh chemicals.


Rinse the silver gemstone ring thoroughly, and dry it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth. Make sure that no moisture remains on the surface or in the crevices of the ring.
