Jewellery cleaning is the practice of removing dirt from jewellery to improve its appearance. There are a number of things owners can do to prevent build up of dirt and prevent jewellery from becoming tarnished.
Store jewellery carefully in its original packaging or in a jewellery box
Avoid exposing jewellery to harsh chemicals or perfumes as this could cause damage and discoloration
Avoid wearing jewellery when using household cleansers
Sweat can result in a grimy build up on jewellery, this can be removed by cleaning jewellery using warm water, mild soap and a soft bristle toothbrush
Avoid exposing jewellery to hair spray, cosmetics or lotions as this can tarnish or discolour the jewellery
Stone settings can become loose over time, especially if they have hit against a hard surface or snagged on clothing
