How can I get rid of tiny scratches on my silver bracelet?

Answer 1

You don't. Anything that alters a coin's current state, even if it's damaged, will almost always make the situation even worse. The idea of "fixing" a coin like you might fix a piece of furniture is frowned upon by collectors.

In fact, "improving" any antique almost always decreases its value unless done by a professional restorer. Watch Antiques Roadshow sometime and see the Keno brothers tell someone who varnished Grampa's old armoire that they just knocked $5,000 off its value.

Answer 2

A scratch in a silver piece can be buffed out by a jeweler or silversmith. Since this means rubbing away the silver until the scratch is no longer visible, a particularly bad scratch on a thin piece of silver might not be "fixable."

Sometimes it's better to keep wearing a scratched piece of silver jewelry until it develops a kind of brushed finish or patina from wear. This looks a lot different than the bright shine of an unscratched piece, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, and it's not always practical to try keeping a silver ring or bracelet scratch-free.

Answer 3

In some cases the only way to remove scratches from a sterling silver ring is to bring it to a professional. This is the case with deep scratches. For light surface scratches, you can try using toothpaste to buff them out.

Answer 4

You have have to buy scratch removal products to get rid of the scratches on you silver bracelet.
