Jewelry Cleaning Tips

To keep your precious pieces sparkling and in top condition, here are some simple steps you can easily follow at home!

Jewelry Care

Regular Cleaning: Use a mild dish soap mixed with warm water to clean your jewelry. Soak the pieces for a few minutes, then use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub away any dirt or residue. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your jewelry away from harsh chemicals such as bleach, chlorine, and ammonia, as these can damage or discolor your precious items.

Be Cautious: Wearing multiple jewelry pieces, like rings, requires attention. When clapping at a concert, be mindful of pieces hitting each other. For activities like gardening, it’s advisable to take off your jewelry to prevent damage or dirt accumulation.

Polishing Cloths: For metals like gold, silver, and platinum, use a specialized jewelry polishing cloth to maintain shine. These cloths are treated with chemicals that remove tarnish and restore luster without scratching the surface.

Ultrasonic Cleaners: Stop by our Saint Paul or Edina locations for a free cleaning and inspection. Our team will put your jewelry in an ultrasonic cleaner to thoroughly clean your item(s). These devices use high-frequency sound waves to clean jewelry more thoroughly than manual methods.

Storage Tips: Store your jewelry in a clean, dry place. Use individual pouches or boxes to prevent pieces from scratching each other. For silver jewelry, consider anti-tarnish strips or cloths to slow down the tarnishing process.
