Here
are just a few things to help you keep your gems and jewelry clean.
The best way is to keep your jewelry from harm!
But it is actually impossible to keep it away from the hustle bustle
of life.
Just make sure you limit the exposure of jewelry from the following
things.
Lotions
and Potions.
Lotions and certain liquids that we use daily to groom ourselves may
be harmful for jewelry. For example hairspray, mousse, body lotion,
moisturizer, perfumes, etc. A dull film is formed which is difficult
to remove. To prevent this, remove your jewelry before bathing and
grooming and see the difference!
Household
chores.
Take off your jewelry before you clean your kitchen, assemble a bike
or do some gardening! Household cleaners are abrasive and harsh on
this delicate jewelry. Don't put them on while working with power
tools.
Bleach.
Chlorine bleach can destroy your jewelry, especially silver. It gets
oxidized. Only a professional jeweler can help you restore the
piece.
Water.
Thoroughly dry your jewelry after exposing it to water and then
store it in an enclosed place. Moisture tarnishes silver and weakens
clasps and springs.
Temperature.
Extreme climatic conditions harm the jewelry. Extreme heat might
damage pearls and cement on the custom jewelry. Rise in temperature
might cause thermal shock thus fracturing the stones.
Storage.
Give space to every piece of jewelry. Metals cause scratches on the
jewelry and destroys its luster thus store it in an individual
compartment.
For bracelets and necklaces fasten the clasps to avoid any tangling.
Most important of all, dry your jewelry before storage or else you
might damage it.
It
takes just a few steps to restore your jewelry's lost luster and
it's a satisfactory experience.
Here are a few simple methods that will help you clean your jewelry
effectively and safely.
You need
A clean bowl
,Lukewarm
Water
,Mild
dishwashing liquid or jewelry cleaning solution
Fine mesh plastic or stainless steel strainer especially for small
pieces,Very
soft, clean, dry cloth
,Soft
bristled brush
,Toothpick
Commercial
cleaner
If using a commercial cleaner make sure you follow the directions
for the particular product. The freshness of the cleaner must be
checked, by storing it in a tightly sealed container. Stale,
contaminated cleaner damages the jewelry. Check the shelf-life or
expiration date.
Preparation
Check the settings and see that the stones are secure. Dirt and
residue might hide the loose settings. So better check properly.
Plug the drain.
Cleaning
Pour the mild solution in a clean bowl. Make you own solution by
mixing one quarter of lukewarm water with 2 tablespoons of mild
detergent or dishwashing liquid.
Place the gemstones in a strainer and dip them in the bowl so that
the liquid surrounds them. Soak for 10 -20 minutes till the dirt is
loosened. Gently use a soft brush and remove the residue and use a
toothpick for the crevices.
Now rinse with clean water.
Dry
Thoroughly dry the jewelry with the soft cloth, place the jewelry
over a towel for sometime and then store.
Check that the entire dirt has been removed. If not repeat the
procedure.
