Spring cleaning is just around the corner, but before cleaning the nooks and crannies of your home, let’s tend to your jewelry first!
DISCLAIMER: The best way to clean your jewelry is to bring it to Black River Diamond Company! We’ll properly clean your gold, silver, diamond, and colored stone jewelry, for FREE, and faster than you can say “Great Customer Service!”
For those of you who are unable to reach Black River Diamond Company here are a few things you can do on your own to keep your jewelry in tip top shape!
One of the best things you can do to preserve the lifespan of your jewelry is to take it off when you’re not showing it off. It’s better for your jewelry in the long run to remove it, and put it in a safe and memorable location, before showering, cooking, dish washing, swimming, applying lotion, and before bed. This will reduce the build up of tarnish and exposure to jewelry ruining materials like chlorine, cleaning chemicals, and lotion, which can deteriorate your jewelry’s appearance over time.
If it’s been a while since you’ve seen your diamond, gold, or silver jewelry twinkle, one simple way to brighten it back up is to use an easy homemade cleaning solution and purchase a soft bristle toothbrush! Mix together a few drops of Dawn dish soap and ammonia into a quarter cup of water. Put on rubber gloves to protect your hands, then dip the toothbrush in the solution and gently brush it over your jewelry, making sure to get into all the spaces you can find. Be thorough, but gentle. Once you’ve finished brushing your jewelry, place it in lukewarm water for 10 minutes to soak off whatever is left, and then dry it with a clean hand towel.
An easier and faster way to clean your jewelry, especially your silver pieces, is to use a polishing cloth! This inexpensive cloth can remove the tarnish that builds up over time and makes your jewelry appear dark and dingy. Gently rub this cloth on your jewelry to remove the tarnish build up. You will notice that as the cloth gets dirtier, the cleaner your jewelry becomes!
Note: These home cleaning methods are for pure diamond, silver, and gold jewelry, not for colored stones or other alternative metals!
