For Silver Jewelry, place it on a tin foil shiny side up inside a ceramic bowl and fill with water, a teaspoon of baking powder, a teaspoon of salt and a dash of white vinegar. Place your silver jewelry in the mixture for 5 mins and VOILA (VOYLLA ?), the jewelry shine will return to its place.
*Do not clean Silver jewelry with gem stones in this mixture as it may damage them.
To clean Gold jewelry at home, mix few drops of mild detergent with club soda. Place your jewelry in the solution for 10-20 minutes. If needed, scrub away left overs with soft brush/toothbrush. Pat dry with a lint cloth.

Here comes paper clip to the rescue! Thread the paper clip through the loop, hold the bracelet steady with the paper clip until you can fasten the clasp. DONE!
