We all have a favourite piece of jewellery - but it can look grubby over time.

If they lose their shine, you might be wondering what to do.

Before you go to replace them, try this easy hack.

One TikTok creator has shared her top tips for how to get them shiny and new at home.

The creator, Emma, has shared how she made her silver jewellery look good as new using something you probably already have in the cupboard.

We all love a hack that doesn't break the bank.

To try this trick, all you need is hot water and some baking soda.

Emma puts her silver rings into a bowl lined with foil.

Next, she adds baking soda and pours hot water over the top. 

She explains: ‘All you need is a bowl of any kind, pop in some foil in the bottom, baking soda and then put in your jewellery.

‘You can use this on earrings, necklaces, anything with real diamonds or fake diamonds, just as long as it’s 925 [sterling silver].’

The rings are left looking incredibly clean following her tip.

She then recommends using a toothbrush to carefully clean each piece.

She follows it up with a polishing cloth.

She adds: ‘I work at Pandora and the best way is to soak it in warm soapy water and scrub gently with a toothbrush! Use our polishing cloth, it’s how we do it.’

It’s as simple as that.
