Jewellery Cleaning & Care

Gemstones and diamonds can easily be cleaned with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft brush. Clean your jewelry in a bowl of warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Dry your piece with a lint‐free cloth. Softer gems, like pearls, can be scratched easily.

The best homemade jewelry cleaning solution is a mixture of a few drops of Dawn dish detergent in warm, not hot, water. Let the piece sit in the solution for a few minutes, longer if it’s very dirty, then gently scrub with a new, baby-size, soft toothbrush. To rinse, place the item in a new container of lukewarm water.

If you purchased jewelry elsewhere and want to find a place to have them cleaned, expect to pay between $25 to $50 for the jeweler’s time and use of their equipment. Make sure the jeweler has a keen understanding of the jewelry you own.
