Question:

i have a bunch of costume rings can i?

Can i just put them all in a bowl of something to make the tarnish black stuff go away? can u tell me what that something could be please.

Answer:

I'm assuming your jewelry is silverLine the bottom of a glass or ceramic bowl or casserole dish with aluminum foilMake sure the dish/bowl isn't metalPut the jewelry on the foilIn a separate container, make a mixture of hot water, salt, and baking sodaThe exact proportions of salt and baking soda aren't critical, but see the link below for suggestionsYou can always add more if you wantPour the salt water into the bowl of jewelryMake sure the jewelry is completely immersedThe salt water elicits a chemical reaction between the foil and the jewelry, so the tarnish is attracted to the foilRinse and repeat as necessary.
