This entry is part 10 of 13 in the series Practical How To Series

CZ Jewelry is probably one of the most misunderstood jewelry.

Many of these owners believe they are fragile and tend to let them gather dirt and muck to avoid the risk of damaging them when cleaning. On the contrary, they are quite easy to clean and maintain.

Authentic diamonds demand regular cleaning to maintain their original sparkle and magnificence, and that exactly how we must treat our cubic zirconia jewelry.

A lot of things contribute to the dulling of our jewelry, simple everyday things like soap, dust, moisturizers and even sweat. Soap and moisturizers leave a dull film on your stone that is hardest to get rid of.

You don't need any special equipment to clean your CZ jewelry, an old toothbrush is the best choice.

You will also need a spoonful of ordinary liquid detergent or dish-washing solution diluted in warm water.

Submerge the jewelry in the solution and gently brush, wash it well and dry with a soft cotton cloth.

When you can still see some leftover buildup in your jewelry, mix a stronger detergent and immerse the jewelry in it for another 15 minutes and brush it again. Another technique is cover the item in toothpaste that has baking soda and let it stand for 15 minutes, wet your old toothbrush and gently brush the jewelry piece, continue to dip your brush into water until you get a good lather. Rinse under running water while gently brushing until all the suds are gone.

You will observe that your jewelry piece will be restored to its original look.

Avoid exposing your CZ jewelry to abrasive substances such as household chemicals when cleaning with bleach or ammonia.

When swimming in chlorinated water remove your jewelry, as these chemicals can damage them.

Most people when they imagine a pearl are picturing perfect large round spherical gems, creamy white in colour with a shimmery iridescent surface. The reality is that pearls are usually irregular in shape, each one is different and to find one that is completely round is almost unheard of, not to mention trying to make a whole necklace of pearls that are all more or less the same. Natural pearls are the rarest and most highly valued variety, but nowadays most pearl jewellery is made from cultured or farmed pearls, which are grown on pearl farms… Continue reading What are the Main Differences Between Freshwater and Saltwater Pearls?...

Name jewelry is one of the trendiest types of fashion accessory for both men and women.
