Thanks everyone. For most things it looks like I can use simple household cleaners that I have on hand. However I have a diamond cut gold & silver necklace and several intricate silver mesh necklaces and a silver cloth only takes care of the top surface. When I finish wiping the surface I can see tarnish in the crevices. I will try the dawn dishwashing soap or Jannie's solution. I was rather hoping for a little less elbow grease since I have a fair number of pieces to do but perhaps this is the safest. I will let you know how it works.

Remember the Boyfriend Jacket? Take a man's suit jacket that fits you and layer on the pins, etc. You may want to just stick to one kind- say rhinestones on a black jacket. Finish up with a vintage lace handkerchief tucked into the front breast pocket. I once saw a TV show about weird cars- a man's wife passed away, leaving a ton of costume jewelry. He epoxyed it onto her cadillac, compleletly covering the car in her jewels.

Thank you, rob! I still need some hairspray to adhere the glitter some more on the shoes, but other than that, my costume is done. Now, if I can only find a party to go to, I'll be all set to go. Brad AKA Moonwolf

I'm at the beachhouse and I don't have it with me but it is essentially this IIRC. I wanted the long alhambra in gold and MOP. This is not the right shape, tho. https://www.freidarothman.com/products/color-theory-stone-station-necklace-2?variant=29393633738846 Good news is, it is cheap enough that it won't hold you back if you ever decide tobuyt he real thing LOL
