Cleaning Tarnished Sterling Silver Jewelry without Removing Paint

Q. I have some old cufflinks that are Sterling Silver. They have a painted front with etching. They are tarnished. I want to remove the tarnish without damaging the painted front.

Try precipitated chalk/water paste ⇨, special silver cleaning cloths are good too. Hope it helps and good luck!
