Tips to Clean Your Gemstone Jewellery at Home

Your gemstone Jewellery is a treasured piece, and just like any prized possession, it needs regular care to maintain its brilliance. Whether it's a stunning sapphire, a radiant ruby, or a sparkling cubic zirconia, cleaning your gemstone jewelry at home is simple and effective with a few basic household ingredients. Here's how you can keep your gems shining bright with an easy, gentle soak.                     

The Gentle Soak: An Easy Way to Clean Your Gemstone Jewellery 

Ingredients:

  • Warm water
  • Mild dish soap or baby shampoo
  • A soft-bristled toothbrush (or eyebrow brush)
  • Lint-free cloth or microfiber towel                                                         
Steps:

  1. Prepare the Cleaning Solution
    In a small bowl, mix warm water with a few drops of mild liquid soap or baby shampoo. Make sure the water is warm, not hot, as high temperatures could affect more delicate gemstone settings.

  2. Soak the Jewellery 
    Place your gemstone jewelry in the soapy solution and let it soak for about 15-20 minutes. This will help loosen any dirt, oils, or other debris that have built up on the surface of the gemstone and its setting.

  3. Gently Brush the Jewellery 
    After soaking, gently brush your Jewellery with a soft-bristled toothbrush or an eyebrow brush. Focus on small crevices where dirt may accumulate, especially around the gemstone's facets and setting. Be sure to be gentle to avoid scratching softer stones like opal or pearl.

  4. Rinse Thoroughly
    Rinse the Jewellery under warm running water to remove any soap residue. Be cautious while rinsing—use a bowl or strainer to avoid losing your jewelry down the drain.

  5. Dry and Buff
    Gently pat your gemstone Jewellery dry using a lint-free cloth or microfiber towel. You can also let it air dry on a soft surface. Once dry, give it a light buff with the cloth to bring out the gemstone’s natural luster.                          

    Additional Tips for Caring for Your Gemstone Jewellery :

    • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Always remove your Jewellery before using household cleaners, swimming in chlorinated water, or applying lotions and perfumes.
    • Storage: Store your gemstone pieces separately in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent them from scratching each other.
    • Professional Cleaning: For particularly valuable or delicate pieces, consider professional cleaning once a year to maintain the integrity and sparkle of the gemstones.

    By following these easy steps, you can keep your Jewellery looking as brilliant as the day you first wore it. Whether it’s a cherished family heirloom or a new addition to your collection, regular cleaning will ensure it stays beautiful for years to come
