We all have our own jewelry collection. Whether it is fine diamond, metal, pearl, or gemstone jewelry, we want it to look new and in good condition. Here we have discussed the best cleaning procedure to keep your jewelry clean and sparkling.

You should be sure to visually inspect your freshwater pearl jewelry before cleaning to ensure that all pearls are secure. If you are in doubt, you can also have a trusted jeweler inspect the pieces and perform any kind of necessary maintenance.

Another thing that you should keep in mind is that when cleaning any kind of jewelry over a sink, always close the drain before beginning. You can also put something over the drain. And while cleaning make sure that you should use a mild soap and water solution and rub it with a soft brush. Gold and sterling are very delicate and can be easily scratched. Therefore, always polish with a clean, soft, cotton cloth and never use any harsh cleansers.

You can also use commercial jewelry cleaners for most of the stones and pearls but make sure to read the labels, especially if you are cleaning delicate stones such as pearls or opals. You have to be really extra careful with ultrasonic cleaners since they can damage the gemstones. After cleaning your jewelry, rinse and dry it. And then polish it with a soft cloth before storing it. You can also go to the collective jewelry store if your jewelry is tarnished and need professional cleaning.

Jewelry should be cleaned after wearing it too. You should wipe it with a soft damp cloth and then polish it with a soft dry cloth. This will enhance the luster of your jewelry and also ensure that your jewelry is clean before storage.
