How to polish & smooth sterling silver jewelry after I make it?

I’m making flat necklace charms out of strips of sterling silver. After I cut and file the silver, I need to buff out all the little scratches and make it shiny.

If you are really getting into this craft, consider getting a buffing wheel. A Dremel will work b/c it has a buffing head. Otherwise you can try to use buffers intended for manicures or silver polish and a rag–but this is the drudgery way to go.
