A whole tin costs only $5. Wright's Silver polish, the pinkish-gray cream in a plastic container, is best. It lasts forever. When it dries out, you just add a tiny bit of water.

Equal parts water and sudsing ammonia works as a soak to remove light tarnish but not the really heavy tarnish. OK with pearls but not amber or malachite.

The cloths are good too. I personally use Wright's most of the time, though. This is from a jeweler who has probably polished more silver than the rest of the Forum ladies combined!!
