Make your jewelry shimmer and shine with just a smidge of elbow grease. You probably have a whole corner in your jewelry drawer devoted to tarnished silver rings and other accessories. Cleaning your silver jewelry seems like it might be easy. You might just order a polishing cloth and start to scrub at your fave tarnished pieces. After a few minutes of scrubbing a bracelet with vigor, you notice that your cloth looks no different than it did before you started. Or maybe, you notice that the polishing cloth has removed tarnish from the broader parts of your bracelet, but all of the detailing is still black. That can be a frustrating experience. Go a step above polishing clothes and opt for a cleaning brush. Cleaning brushes can help you get into those gaps and crevices to get your jewelry 360 degrees of sparkling. We rounded up the best silver jewelry cleaner brushes for you. 

Silver jewelry cleaner brushes are usually made out of horsehair. Horsehair is one of the few substances that won’t scratch silver. It’s gentle and doesn’t strip silver off of your jewelry. These brushes are specifically designed to un-tarnish silver jewelry, both modern and vintage, antiques, flatware and more. One of our picks can even work on your shoes and leather.
