How to Clean Your Jewelry At Home...

It looks like a million dollars but after a couple of months it doesn't have the same 'Sparkle' or look it once had (a bit like me really).

So what are we to do?

The first thing is to make sure it is SAFE to be cleaned., and this is how we do it...

Naturally, delicate items should be best left to a professional Jeweler to clean.

BUT Opals, Pearls and Emeralds are very susceptible to damage in a Jewelers Ultrasonic cleaning tank, as it can loosen pearls from their mounts and breakdown Opal and Emerald quite easily.

SOLUTION: Clean them yourself! BUT VERY GENTLY - And this is How...

Jewelry Cleaning Solution

Make up a solution of Washing up liquid (Clean of course, not after doing the Sunday dishes) and use an old Toothbrush and carefully clean around the mount using the bristles of the brush to get into the setting and CLEAN BEHIND THE STONES.

* HINT * Put the plug in the sink hole BEFORE you start.

But beware, as too much pressure could 'Pop' the stone out of it's setting, so if in doubt - take it out (of the bowl I mean).

Yet even this has a good point.

If you lost it somewhere other than the washing process, not only would you probably never find it, you'd be very annoyed at me for suggesting such a thing in the first place.
