JEWELRY CLEANING

How to Properly Care for Your Favorite Pieces

Whether it’s sparkling diamonds, timeless gold, elegant platinum, or classic sterling silver – proper care is essential to preserve the lasting beauty and brilliance of your jewelry. Everyday residues such as cosmetics, sweat, dust, or perfume can build up on your pieces, leaving them dull or tarnished over time. Regular, gentle cleaning helps maintain their original shine and extends the life of your jewelry. In this guide, we’ll show you step by step how to safely and effectively clean your gold, silver, platinum, and diamond jewelry at home.

Important: This cleaning method is not suitable for jewelry containing delicate gemstones or pearls. For the proper care of such pieces, you’ll find detailed information in this separate blog post: "Jewelry - Care Instructions"

To get started, you’ll only need a few simple items:

  • A small bowl
  • Mild dish soap
  • A soft toothbrush
  • A fine strainer
  • Paper towels
  • A jewelry polishing cloth

STEP 1

Prepare a bowl with hot water.

STEP 2

Add a few drops of mild dish soap without harsh additives to the water.

STEP 3

Mix the soap thoroughly until it is fully dissolved.

STEP 4

Gently place your pieces of jewelry in the water bath and leave them there for 5 minutes.

STEP 5

Carefully clean any remaining buildup using a soft toothbrush – especially in hard-to-reach areas.

STEP 6

Place the cleaned jewelry into a fine strainer.

STEP 7

Rinse thoroughly under clean, lukewarm water to remove all soap residue. Tip: Close your sink drain for safety to avoid losing any pieces.

STEP 8

Place your jewelry on a paper towel and gently pat it dry.

STEP 9

Polish your pieces with a special jewelry polishing cloth for extra shine.

STEP 10

Et voilà! Your jewelry sparkles like new and is ready to shine with you again.
