How Do I Clean And Take Care Of My Best Jewelry That Is Mainly Gold, Silver And Pearls?
Fine jewellery is fairly simple to care for. If your gold jewellery has no stones (such as a wedding band) you can wash it in a lukewarm solution of mild dish detergent and water. Adding a little ammonia or jewellery cleaning solution is okay. Soak for just a few minutes and rinse with warm water. You can dry it on a soft terry cloth towel. Don’t ever wear your gold jewellery while swimming. The chlorine can damage it. Clean silver jewellery with silver polish and follow the directions. Use a soft cloth or damp sponge. Rinse gently and polish. Pearls can get a bit dull after wearing a lot, so wipe them gently with a damp sponge or cloth. You can wash them with lukewarm water and mild soap. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Pearls can be easily scratched, so store them away from other jewellery, preferably in a cloth bag for protection.
