Let a jewelry professional examine your jewelry at least once a year to check for loose stones,
bent prongs or signs of wear. You should also have your jewelry professionally cleaned at this
time. To clean your jewelry at home you can:
-
Use over-the-counter jewelry cleaners. Pay careful attention to the instructions;
these cleaners may not be suitable for pearls or other gemstones.
-
Prepare a mixture of half cold water and half household ammonia and soak jewelry
for 30 minutes. Gently rub with a soft brush. Let dry on a paper towel.
This mixture may not be suitable for pearls or other gemstones.
-
Soak your jewelry in a small bowl of warm water with a drop of mild liquid detergent.
Gently rub with a soft brush. Carefully rinse under warm water. Pat dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
