Jewelry Cleaning

Jewelry Cleaning – General Information

Keeping your jewelry clean not only enhances its beauty but also helps maintain its value and longevity. Over time, everyday wear exposes jewelry to dust, oils, lotions, and other residues that can dull its shine. Regular cleaning ensures that gemstones sparkle and metals retain their brilliance.

There are several methods to clean jewelry, depending on the material:

• Gentle Soap and Water – A mild solution with warm water and a soft brush can be effective for many types of jewelry.

• Polishing Cloths – Special cloths are designed to safely remove tarnish from silver, gold, and other metals.

• Professional Cleaning – Jewelers often provide in-store cleaning for delicate or valuable pieces.

It’s always important to check the care instructions for specific gemstones and metals, as some materials require special handling.

 

Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaners are one of the most efficient ways to restore jewelry to its original brilliance. They use high-frequency sound waves to create microscopic bubbles in a cleaning solution. These bubbles gently but thoroughly remove dirt, grease, and other debris—even from tiny crevices that are difficult to reach with brushes or cloths.

Benefits of ultrasonic cleaning:

• Deep cleaning effect, even on intricate designs.

• Gentle on most metals and hard gemstones.

• Saves time compared to manual cleaning.

Important note: Not all jewelry is suitable for ultrasonic cleaning. Soft gemstones (such as pearls, opals, emeralds, and turquoise) and porous materials should not be placed in an ultrasonic cleaner. Always check whether your piece is safe for this method before use.
