JEWELRY CLEANER FROM MILLIE THE JEWELER.

My dear friend, Millie, makes jewelry using natural stones and minerals wrapped with silver.  Anyone who works with or loves silver knows you need a good cleaner because it tarnishes very easily. 

 

 



Two pieces of Millie's beautiful work and stones.

 

This jewelry cleaner is the fastest and easiest cleaner that Millie has found.  It also has the advantage of being homemade, inexpensive, and there are no harsh chemicals in it.
