No matter if you are looking for a mesmerizing piece to begin your fine jewelry journey, or you've already assembled an enviable collection over the last few years, learning how to care for fine jewelry is extremely important. From finger-adorning sustainable engagement rings to ethical gemstone necklaces that accentuate your collar bones, everything needs to be treated with care. We rounded up the best gold jewelry cleaning solutions for you to restore them back to their gleaming self.
Caring for your fine jewelry is not as hard as it sounds. Even though you adore your engagement ring, it would be best to remove it if you are aware that there will be contact with water or dirt. Furthermore, it is recommended to remove your fine jewelry before taking a shower or applying any skincare products that can get trapped in the crevices of your jewelry.
Always keep your jewelry stored in a jewelry box when not in use. There are many types of organizers as well as travel-size cases with an array of space options. From double displays that leave plenty of room for earrings, necklaces, and rings, to single jewelry boxes when you want them to be kept apart. By storing your jewelry, you will prevent moisture build-up and tarnishing.
Keep your precious gemstones and metals in tip-to-shape with an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. By emitting high-frequency sound waves, this device forms bubbles and ultrasonic vibrations in the water in order to remove dirt, oil, and grime from your fine jewelry. Make sure that the water is hot enough to offer the most effective cleaning. Setting the temperature to 140 F is recommended. Nonetheless, some solutions require higher temperatures to perform effectively.
Please remember that delicate stones, like pearls, coral, turquoise, opals, and emeralds, cannot withstand this type of fine jewelry cleaning process. Putting your soft tones in an ultrasonic cleaner isn't recommended. Avoid harsh temperatures, chemicals, and solvents.
Another great way to clean fine jewelry at home is by using a bowl, water, a soft bristle toothbrush, and dish detergent. This DIY solution works perfectly for fine jewelry that isn't adorned with fragile gemstones. Mix a drop of dish soap in a bowl with warm water and soak your jewelry piece in the mixture for a few minutes. Delicate stones should not be inside the bowl for more than a few seconds. Next, use the soft bristle toothbrush to buff away and clean any dirt by gently rubbing their surface. Lastly, pat the jewelry dry with a towel and let them air dry before storing them.
