Do you ever polish your jewelry?

I have quite a bit of jewelry. When I began packing to move, I found jewelry everywhere! Some in one jewelry box. Some in another. And others just scattered all over the house.
One of my jewelry boxes has special materials built in to keep costume jewelry and silver jewelry from tarnishing. But it didn't help the jewelry that was elsewhere, of course. Thankfully, I also found a jewelry polishing cloth and brought that along with me. So, now that my jewelry is all in one place, and I've sorted through all of it and tossed out the garbage so I can only keep the best pieces and the ones I will wear, I need to get polishing the pieces that have tarnished.
I find it can be relaxing. I can do it while watching TV, so I get comfortable and take a piece of jewelry that looks so ugly and, after a little rubbing, it's suddenly sparkling and looking like new again! Almost instant gratification! Now that's something I can enjoy doing. :)
Do you ever polish your jewelry? I have a little silver ring that I wear every day with "You are my sunshine" written around it. I polished that one last night and it looks so pretty today! It was sparkling in the sun while I was out. Made me feel so good.

Yeah, Claudia, I usually polish my jewelry once a month. I also have a chest that has the self-cleaning liners in it.. I love it.

I wish I had jewelry to polish because I have something in case of financial need. Hey, guys are different!

When my husband was alive, I loved buying him jewelry. He didn't enjoy wearing jewelry so much, but once in a while he'd wear something to make me happy! lol So now I have his jewelry as well as mine. And yes, the really good pieces are great to have just in case finances tank.

I do polish it once in a while. Silver especially will tarnish when it is not worn all the time.
