It might do a good job, it is a time-honored household cleaner. It might not help much at all, either. But at least you can be assured that baking soda as a cleaning agent cannot possibly hurt the costume jewelry.

How can you clean silver jewelry?
There are two levels of clean when talking about sterling silver jewelry. The piece of sterling jewelry could be either simply dirty or tarnished or both. If the piece is only dirty a solution of Mr. Clean, water, and ammonia can be used. Mix half water and Mr. Clean with a small amount of ammonia. This is the same solution many jewelers I know use in their ultrasonic to clean all types of fine jewelry. Allow the jewelry to soak for 15 seconds then rinse with water and dry. You can repeat if need be. More likely than not sterling jewelry is also tarnished. Sterling does tarnish much quicker than gold or platinum. Removing tarnish from sterling silver jewelry is easy. Mix just enough water with baking soda to make a paste and use the paste to rub on the jewelry to remove the tarnish. Rinse with water then dry.

What can be used to clean jewelry if you dont have jewelry cleaner?
To clean all types of jewelry including fine jewelry a solution of half Mr. Clean and half water with a small amount of ammonia is the best. This works just as well as jewelry cleaner and is what many jewelry stores use in their ultrasonic. Allow the piece to soak for 15 minutes in the solution then rinse with water. If tarnished sterling silver jewelry is to be cleaned, a mixture of baking soda and water can be used. Mix just enough water and baking soda to make a paste then rub the paste on the sterling silver. Rinse and dry. I have seen other solutions used including toothpaste on inexpensive jewelry, but toothpaste is abrasive and I would not use this on any jewelry worth anything.

What household item cleans jewelry?
You can use many household items to clean jewelry. You could use Windex, alcohol, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, or even just soap and water. I would use caution when using the chemicals just mentioned. I have even seen toothpaste used on inexpensive jewelry pieces, but again I would use caution because toothpaste is abrasive. I would never use any of these chemicals on fine jewelry. You could cause damage. A better solution is to use half Mr. Clean and water with a small amount of ammonia. Many jewelry stores use this solution and it is safe for all jewelry. For tarnished sterling silver baking soda can be mixed with water until you get a paste. Use this paste to rub off the tarnish.
