Are you sure that it is clean with toothpaste. It is my first time to hear it, I am mostly pay $5 dollar to clean my jewelry to make it shine.

I have done this. I also find using a bit of vinegar can be very helpful in getting jewelry clean and sparkling.

Does anyone have a definative answer on this? Like if its damaging to it or not?

this seems like some toothpastes (w/ bleach) might be too harsh and could damage jewelry. be careful!

I just use baking soda with water to make a paste which is similar to using toothpaste and it makes my silver jewelry shine.

What about silver de tarnish-seems like it would sparkle jewelry

I've tried it with silver and gold jewellery - works like a charm!

I use paste also, gel is too messy for me.
