TIPS ON CLEANING YOUR WEDDING JEWELRY![]() Different Cleaning Processes Some pieces are easily washable while others might require special treatment. It usually depends on the type of material the jewelry is made from as well as the workmanship of the piece. The more complex and valuable the piece, the more you must be careful with it. Commercial Cleaning Solutions Obviously, there are many commercial liquids available on the market, and in most cases these products can be used to clean jewelry. However, there are some notable exceptions. If the product contains ammonia then it can damage cultured pearls and other forms of delicate materials. If the product contains bleach, then it can damage gold alloys. Therefore, the safe choice would be to select jewelry cleaner without any harmful substances. Milder Forms Of Cleaning Most wedding jewelry can be cleaned by using soapy water (not too cold or scalding) and a soft brush. A few drops of mild bleach-free detergent is acceptable mixed with warm water. However, totally soaking glued pearl or gemstones or rhinestone jewelry could be a risk. When you are finished cleaning dry off the jewelry with a soft cloth, not too vigorously. Your wedding jewelry can last for generations! But you must properly clean and care for your jewelry collection and treat it like the sentimental treasure that it is. |
