Some Helpful Tips for Cleaning Jewellery


Jewelry is the best friend of women. Almost every woman has one or more pieces of jewelry. Beautiful and designer jewelry can add charms to you and make you feel confident. However, just as your real friends, jewelry needs your care, attention and protection too. If you have a piece of jewelry, you have to try your best to keep it at its best conditions.

Most gold jewellery can be cleaned in warm, soapy water and smoothly brushed using an old toothbrush. Eighteen carat gold and above does not usually become tarnished and is not harmed by household chemicals. Lower carat gold is easily damaged by chlorine based bleach and cleaning products, which can cause stress corrosion cracking.

Platinum can be cleaned in the same way as the high carat golds. The patina that develops over a period of time can be removed by a professional jeweller who will repolish it back to its original high gloss look.

Silver tarnishes easily and the only effective way to clean it is by using proprietary silver cleaning solutions such as a silver dip.

Jewellery manufacturer’s use ultrasonic cleaning tanks which are a mixture of ammonia and detergent with the ultrasonic’s providing agitation to speed up the cleaning process. Many jewellery stores now sell small ultrasonic domestic cleaners, but experience has shown they are on a par with the warm, soapy water method and no more effective.
