Proper Care For Your Jewelry
Your jewelry needs to be taken care of like your clothes, shoes and other accessories. Whether gold, silver or any other type of jewelry from giles and brother, anna beck jewelry, kimberly baker jewelry it must surely be cleaned from time to time.
The advice below should be followed only after you consult your jeweler. Do not attempt these cleaning methods before you get advice from a professional.
Clean your jewelry in warm water with some mild detergent. If your jewelry has diamonds you may use a soft brush and water-mild ammonia mix. Be sure the gem will shine better when you remove the layer of skin oil from it. Pay attention to any prong and setting when scrubbing.
For other gemstones the method is the same. Take soapy, warm water and a non-metallic soft brush. Do not make too much effort using chemical cleaners as they may cause damage.
As for the pearl necklace, which is generally very fragile, wash it in soapy water. Pearls are actually very easily damaged by any kind of chemicals and alcohol, especially perfumes, so be very careful when you are cleaning pearls. Make sure they can be cleaned properly without being damaged–ask your jeweler about how to do this.
An alternative to such methods is an ultrasonic cleaner. This machine, which cleans jewelry by hitting it with sound waves, is not always safe. So unless you are absolutely sure you can use an ultrasonic machine to clean your jewelry, avoid doing it. Again, consult your jeweler first.
Whatever cleaning method you decide on, be careful not to damage your jewelry. Talk to your jeweler before you do anything at all.
