I was amazed at how sparkly the jewelry came up. HOWEVER, I made the mistake of dunking some earrings that had little shells as well as the silver and it ruined the shells. Striped the finish right off and now those earrings are trash. I think if the jewelry was only silver with nothing else it works fine. But don't risk it with any jewelry that also has stones or shells. I also feel the silver re-tarnished faster as well.
