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.
