Whether you have an old, tarnished piece of jewelry that needs a little TLC or you just bought some silver earrings or a wedding ring that you want to sparkle like a disco ball, the right cleaning solution can make all the difference. There are a lot of simple, at-home options available. Katie, a gemologist, and Laura Elizabeth the founder of Laura Elizabeth Jewelry gave us some tips about which cleaners work best on different types of materials.
Jewellery Cleaner Target
Katie recommends Weiman foam jewelry wipes that are safe on almost all stones and metals. If you have intricate links or settings, Katie recommends a liquid cleansers with a tiny brush.
Connoisseurs Precious Jewelry Cleaner
This formula is great for cleaning jewelry that's made of diamonds, gold or platinum. It is gentle enough for precious gems. A dip tray and brush are included for maximum efficacy.
Connoisseurs Dazzle Cleaner Gel
If you're dealing with pave diamonds, or other gemstones that are hard to reach, a gel-based cleanser might be the best option. Its polymers help reduce the appearance of tiny scratches while it's gentle on soft metals, and it comes with a small brush to get into all the details.
Liquid jewelry cleaners are a good option for most jewelry, but they aren't cheap per use and can irritate your skin if you use them too much. 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 produces 500 microstrokes per minute, which sweeps dirt away and polishes diamonds to a brilliant finish. It is useful to remove grease from tightly set stones and the sonic vibrating can gently agitate them without scratching.
Galgano says this is a safe, effective way to wash your diamonds. The Juli Brush features a rotating head that reaches into tight spaces, and it comes with several attachments for different kinds of cleaning.
Simple Shine Cloths Two-Sided
Katie recommends a two-sided cloth if you have lots of jewelry with intricate, complex designs. Use one side to remove the tarnish while using the other side to buff for a super shine finish. Simple Shine cloths have been treated with a non-toxic, safe cleaning solution for silver and copper.
You can use them to clean small areas when you travel. They are also stored in a convenient case. 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.
It is important to keep in mind that not all cleaners are equal. You will need to test and research before you can choose the cleaner that is best for your individual needs.
