I stopped making a lot of jewelry with the chain that you find in craft stores because base metal stuff tarnishes so quickly, and I thought there was no way of restoring it once it turned (since it wasn't a quality metal). I know there's a lot of others who thought this way too. I know many who have thrown stuff out because they didn't think it was worth trying to find out if it could be saved or not.
Turns out toothpaste (tried the blue gel kind that has baking soda in it) cleans it also (knew you could use it on fine metals). It seems to work on that cheap costume jewelry from Claire's, Icing, Forever 21, etc... too! Now I feel much more confident about making things again from the base metal stuff. Yayness!
