How to Care For and Clean Your Jewelry—part one

The simple steps you take today will ensure your precious jewels last a lifetime (and then some). A little bit of care goes a long way in keeping your jewelry looking its best. Here's how to keep your jewelry in good condition.

Platinum
Platinum jewelry is quite durable but it can still be scratched. Store separately or wrapped in tissue to avoid touching other jewelry. A professional cleaning twice a year will keep it looking new.

Silver

To store, wrap individual pieces in a soft cloth or place in a tarnish-preventive bag to prevent scratches and exposure to light and air which can cause it to tarnish.

Gold

Chlorine bleach and other harsh chemicals can damage or discolor this precious metal so never wear your jewelry when cleaning your home, doing laundry or swimming in a chlorinated pool or hot tub. Soap will cause a dulling film to form on gold jewelry so always remove before bathing.

To clean, you have a few options. Rinse with lukewarm water and dry with a soft cloth. Mix a few drops of ammonia with water and gently scrub piece with a soft bristle toothbrush. There are also many commercial cleaners available. Have a soft chamois cloth at hand to give your piece some extra polish.

Pearls

Pearls are soft and can be easily scratched by other jewelry so always wrap in tissue or place in a chamois bag before putting away. Also, have your pearls restrung by a professional jeweler once a year. The knot between each pearl prevents loss if the string should ever break.
