How do I clean fine gold jewelry?

Fine gold jewelry should be cleaned regularly with liquid dish/laundry soap, warm water and an old toothbrush to remove lotions, oils, grime, dirt, food and perfume. Many gold pieces have set stones, therefore it is very important to first place a wash cloth or drain cover in your sink before you clean your jewelry in case a stone comes out. You want to retrieve the stone before it goes down the drain! Stones can loosen and fall out of jewelry over time, especially rings which get a LOT of wear. Take your jewelry to a jeweler regularly to have your stones and settings checked as well as any clasps or links. Be proactive to fix these things before a stone gets lost or a whole bracelet goes mysteriously missing.

How do you clean sterling jewelry?

Sterling silver jewelry is best cleaned with liquid dish or laundry soap, warm water and an old toothbrush. Clean your jewelry regularly to remove lotions, perfumes, skin oils, dirt and grime such as food particles. This will keep your jewelry looking it's best, especially if there are clear stones or crevices that can attract dirt.

A jewelry polishing cloth is the perfect instrument to polish sterling jewelry to hit the high relief areas and showcase that high luster. Jewelry polishing cloths can be found through many retailers and are very inexpensive.
