If you've got an old piece of jewelry with tarnish that needs some TLC, or if you bought a new pair of silver earrings, or a wedding band that you want it to shine like a disco, finding the right cleaning product can make a huge difference. There are many easy-to use at-home cleaning solutions. Katie, a jeweler and owner of Serpentine Jewels as well as Laura Elizabeth, founder of luxury jewelry brand Laura Elizabeth Jewelry provided us with tips on what cleaners would be best for a wide range of materials and discolorations.
Jewellery Cleaner - Target
Katie recommends using foam jewelry wipes such as this one by Weiman for everyday rings and necklaces. It is safe for all metals and most gemstones. If you have intricate links or settings, Katie recommends a liquid cleansers with a tiny brush.
Connoisseurs Precious Jewelry Cleaner
If you have jewelry made out of gold, platinum, diamonds or other precious metals, this formula will revive it and bring back its shine. It's gentle on gems but comes with a brush, a tray and dipping solution for maximum effect.
Connoisseurs Dazzle Cleaner Gel
If you want to clean pave stones or other difficult-to-reach gems, then this gel-based product might be for you. The gel-based cleaner's polymers can reduce the appearance of minor scratches. It is gentle enough for soft metals and comes with a small bristle brush.
They are an excellent option for cleaning most jewelry. But they can cause irritation to your skin when used excessively. Many of these cleaners use chemicals like ammonia in order to lift dirt off jewelry.
The Juli Brush
For a professional-grade clean, Ali Galgano, a gemologist and jewelry designer, recommends this electric sonic brush. The device uses 500 microstrokes a second to remove dirt and polish diamonds. The device is also useful for removing grease between stones that are closely set, and its sonic vibrations gently agitate any loose stones.
Galgano explains that this is the safest and most effective way of cleaning your diamonds. The Juli Brush includes a rotating handle that allows it to reach in tight spaces. It comes with multiple attachments.
Simple Shine Double-Sided Cloths
Katie recommends that you use a cloth which has two sides. The first side will remove tarnish from your jewelry, while the second side will polish it to an ultra-shiny shine. Simple Shine cloths have been treated with a non-toxic, safe cleaning solution for silver and copper.
The travel cases are convenient for storage, and the spot cleaners can be used when traveling. They're also a good choice if you're looking to clean a lot of jewelry at once and don't need to be able to reapply the solution multiple times.
All cleanings are not created equal. Research and testing are required to choose the best cleaners for your specific needs.
