How to Cleaning Jewelry

Costume jewelry needs minimal care, but valuable pieces should be cleaned often.  Do not wear rings with stones during cleaning, since you could cause damage to the settings.

1. Place items to soak before brushing them.
2. Soak jewelry in a solution of dishwashing liquid in a bowl for a few minutes – do not use a sink.  Brush items gently with a toothbrush.
3. Put down each piece to dry separately.
4. Rinse the jewelry and lay on a dish towel.  Dry it with a hair dryer on a low settings.  Check the water for stones before you discard it.
