Jewelry is meant to shine — but everyday wear can leave your favorite pieces looking dull. The good news? With a little care, you can safely clean most jewelry at home and bring back that beautiful sparkle.
For most gold, diamond, and gemstone jewelry, all you need is a bowl of warm water, a few drops of mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush. Let your jewelry soak for about 10 to 15 minutes, then gently scrub around any stones, prongs, and crevices. Rinse with clean lukewarm water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Delicate pieces like pearls or opals should never be soaked. Instead, use a damp cloth to gently wipe them clean and always store them separately to avoid scratches.
Avoid harsh chemicals, toothpaste, or abrasive materials, which can damage metals and stones. If you're unsure whether your jewelry is safe to clean at home, it's always best to bring it in for a professional inspection.
