How to Clean Handmade Jewelry

 

June 2009

  

Keep your custom, handmade jewelry looking ultra chic and brand new, apply cleaning starting now!

• Clean oxidized or tarnished gold and silver with a soft cloth or shine them up with basic toothpaste.
• Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, solvents and harsh chemicals when cleaning your handcrafted jewelry-exposure to them can damage semi-precious and precious gemstones and pearls.
• Keep your handmade gemstone jewelry clean with a soft cloth, mild soap and water.
• Always wipe both classic and freshwater pearls with a soft cloth before storing them.

 

How to Prevent Tarnishing

 

Store sterling silver jewelry in a zip lock bag. This will keep it shiny for a very long time.

Polishing Cloths leave an undetectable residue that inhibits tarnish.

Line your jewelry box or zip lock bag with Silver Saver Paper. Silver Saver Paper absorbs the sulfur in the air, which causes tarnishing. Line your jewelry box with this paper and replace every six months.
