Cleaning your jewelry:

The easiest and most inexpensive way to clean your solid 14kt Gold, Platinum, 14kt Rolled Gold, Sterling Silver jewelry is to use any ordinary jewelry cleaner.  However, we do recommend The World’s Wonder™.  It’s a great product that doesn’t leave any residue on your jewelry.  A large bottle will last for years.  We have it available under our Products order page.

Simply pour some of the cleaner in a small plastic bowl and drop in your piece.  Let it soak for a few minutes, then use an old soft toothbrush to clean the crevices, and rinse with warm water.  You can let your jewelry dry naturally, or use a cloth.  We like to use a blow dryer on the jewelry, because it dries the jewelry quicker, and doesn’t leave any water spots.  After you are finished cleaning your jewelry, put a plastic lid on the bowl to keep the cleaning solution from evaporating.  You can use it over and over again. 

 Other jewelry cleaners are also available.  These cleaners can usually be found in department stores and jewelry stores.  You also can use a polishing cloth, we recommend the Connoisseurs™ Polishing Cloth.

 Cleaning Sterling Silver:

No matter what you do, silver is silver, and it will tarnish.  First use the jewelry cleaning method described above.  You may have to let the piece soak longer than a few minutes, scrub it with the toothbrush a little longer, or even go through the cleaning process more than once.  If the tarnish still doesn’t come out, there are excellent silver cleaners on the market.  Just remember to read the labels carefully and follow the instructions on the container.

 CAUTION: 

 When using an ultrasonic machine, certain gemstones and semi-precious gemstones can and will be damaged using this cleaning method.  These machines use an acid based solution that you mix with water.  This acid based solution will damage opals, pearls, and many of the precious and semi-precious gemstones.  It will pull out the pigment in naturally porous stones and many precious and semi-precious stones. Putting any of these in an ultrasonic machine is a disaster waiting to happen.
