Thanks heaps CBG ... too funny would you believe i have one of those jewellery cloths as i dug it out of the cupboard before and it's had it's days (i mean it's really grotty from jewellery cleaning) ... unless someone here thinks it would be ok to wash & dry this cloth

I remember years ago reading that you can clean Gold jewellery with toothpaste but i'm not sure if it was including Sterling Silver ... So, i'm hoping someone might suggest this (i don't wanna risk it right now in case i ruin the jewellery) !!
