What You Will Need:
- Mild detergent or dish soap
- Soft-bristle toothbrush or cotton swabs
- Lint-free cloth

- Bowl of warm water
Method 1: Basic Cleaning
1. Prepare a diluted solution by mixing a small amount of mild detergent or dish soap with warm water in a bowl.
2. Gently submerge your Tiffany bracelet into the soapy water and let it soak for a few minutes.
3. Use a soft-bristle toothbrush or cotton swab to gently scrub away dirt and tarnish from the bracelet’s surface.
4. Rinse the bracelet under lukewarm water to remove any soap residue. Ensure you don’t directly run water over any gemstones or pearls.
5. Pat the bracelet dry with a lint-free cloth, ensuring it is completely dry before moving on to the next step.
Method 2: Polishing
1. Take a clean, lint-free cloth and gently rub the surface of your Tiffany bracelet in a circular motion. This will help restore its shine and remove any remaining tarnish.
2. If your bracelet includes gemstones or pearls, avoid vigorous rubbing to prevent damage. Instead, gently polish around them to maintain their integrity.
3. For extra shine, use a chiffon polishing cloth to further buff the bracelet’s surface.
Additional Tips:
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical solutions as they can damage the metal or gemstones.
