Buying Guide: Caring for Silver, Brass and Jewelry

Polishes and Gloves for Silver
Hagerty's silversmiths' polish is a liquid lotion that can be rinsed or buffed away with a soft, dry cloth, which suits items that cannot get wet. The silver foam cleans and polishes with a wash, rinse and dry method. Silversmiths' gloves let you polish while your hands stay dry and unsoiled.

Brass, Copper and Other Metals
The brass and copper polish cleans, polishes and prevents tarnish in one step, so no rinsing is needed. It can be used on copper, brass, chromium, aluminum, chrome and stainless steel. Simply rub it on and buff with a soft, dry cloth.

Jewelry Care and Tarnish Storage
The jewelry cleaner is made for gold, platinum, diamonds and other precious and semi-precious gemstones, and it does not contain ammonia. Silver protection strips are placed inside china cabinets, drawers, closets and jewelry boxes to neutralize tarnish-causing sulfur gases.
