Can vinegar and peroxide be used to safely clean a sterling silver and cubic zirconia ring?
LeAnne
I have developed what is known as wedding ring rash. I have looked online and found that a solution of peroxide and white vinegar thoroughly cleans bacteria from a ring, which is usually the cause of the rash. But most of the information I have found is about gold/platinum and diamonds. Would this solution harm sterling silver and cubic zirconia?
I have a temporary set to wear while pregnant because of fingers swelling, it is sterling silver and cubic zirconia. My real rings are on standby until I can fit into them again. While this silver/Cz set isn't my real set, I am fond of it and don't want to ruin it.
Thanks for any information.

How to Clean Sterling Silver Jewelry With Baking Soda
By Ruby Bayan, eHow Contributor
Sterling silver reacts with moisture to create a layer of tarnish or oxidation on its surface. Baking soda activated by boiling water in the presence of aluminum, will dislodge the tarnish by making it bind with the aluminum, leaving the sterling silver clean and shiny again. This is the simple, organic way to clean and polish your sterling silver jewelry.
Things You'll Need
Baking soda
Aluminum foil or pan
Glass or plastic dish
Boiling water
Plastic or wood utensil
Absorbent towel
Soft cloth
Instructions
1
Boil just enough water to submerge all of the sterling silver pieces.
2
Use aluminum to remove tarnish from sterling silver.
Line a glass or plastic dish with a slightly crumpled piece of aluminum foil. If you have a small aluminum pan that you won't be needing for food preparation again, use that instead.
3
Lay your jewelry on the aluminum, making sure the silver touches the aluminum.
4
Sprinkle baking soda on the jewelry.
Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda over the jewelry.
5
Pour boiling water on the baking soda.
Pour enough boiling water to immerse the jewelry. Bubbling should occur, giving off a rotten-egg odor (the sulfuric gases released by the cleaning action).
6
Move the pieces around gentle with a wood or plastic utensil to ensure that all of the silver surfaces come in contact with the aluminum. You will notice that the silver has become bright again.
7
Rinse the jewelry under tap water. To ensure that you don't lose small pieces like earrings and pendants, put a sieve over the drain to catch whatever may slip off your fingers.
8
Clean and shiny sterling silver jewelry
Wipe the pieces gently with an absorbent towel and polish with a soft cloth.
Tips & Warnings
If you see yourself cleaning sterling silver regularly, keep and recycle the aluminum pans used for takeout or frozen cakes and pies.
To minimize tarnishing, store sterling silver in a moisture-free environment. Use plastic bags with zipper locks, anti-tarnish strips (available at jewelry stores) or moisture-absorbent products (available in some pharmacies).
You will also find moisture-absorbent packets in some merchandise such as shoes, medication and accessories that are sensitive to moisture. Reuse these packets by putting some in your jewelry box to minimize tarnish on your sterling silver pieces.
Use this technique to clean small pieces of sterling silver flatware and dining accessories.
The baking soda method of cleaning is recommended only for jewelry that is all sterling silver and those that incorporate plastic, glass or crystal beads. Some gemstones are affected by the baking soda reaction--for example, turquoise.
