    I am after some advice, is it a good idea to polish men's 925 sterling silver bracelet? I have quite a handful, and was wondering is it being polished will enhance its selling value? Or is it best to leave it as it is? Most of them is a bit dirty/dull.

    I have a cousin who's travelling to Asia, and I can get it polished/clean for SFA.

    Thank You

    Bracelets, different to vintage coins, are items that are enhanced through polishing, so I say yes. I clean all my sterling jewellery and table ware.

    Without scratching it.. agree with Sammy.. different to coins.. i still love patina but sometimes it is appropriate to polish jewellery and silver cutlery and the like..

    I use a rubber for those hard to reach spots..
