Solid Gold and Platinum Jewelry
Hey there, gentlemen!
We know that keeping your gold jewelry looking sharp is just as important as choosing the right piece. Whether it's a classic chain, a sleek bracelet, or some statement rings, we've got you covered. This method of jewelry cleaning is completely safe on gold and platinum jewelry as well as diamonds and other gemstones. In this guide, we'll show you how to clean your jewelry with things you probably already have at home.
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
Before we dive into cleaning your jewelry, make sure you have the following items ready:
- A mild soap (one without harsh chemicals or fragrances)
- A Bowl Filled With Warm water
- A soft toothbrush
- A towel (to work on the piece once its done soaking)
- A blow dryer (with a safe distance setting)
- A microfiber cloth
Step 2: Soak Your Jewelry
Start by preparing a bowl of warm water and adding a small amount of mild soap. You want just enough soap to create a gentle cleaning solution. Give it a stir to create some suds. Now, place your jewelry pieces in the soapy water.
Let them soak for about ten minutes. This allows the soap to break down any grime or oils that have accumulated on your jewelry.
Step 3: Gentle Scrubbing
After the soak, take your piece of jewelry out and place it on the towel to begin your scrubbing. Take your soft toothbrush and gently scrub your jewelry to remove built up dirt and grime.. Be sure not to scrub too hard so as not to damage your pieces.
Step 4: Drying with Care
Now, it's time to dry your jewelry thoroughly. Use a blow dryer with a safe distance setting to avoid any heat damage. Keep the blow dryer at a reasonable distance from your jewelry, and use a low heat or cool setting.
As you dry each piece, ensure there's no moisture left, especially in hidden areas.
Step 5: Polish and Protect
Take your microfiber cloth and use it to wipe away any fingerprints or smudges on your jewelry. The cloth is perfect for giving your pieces that extra shine and sparkle.
If you aren’t going to put your chain right on, it's best to store it safely. Wrap your jewelry in a thin cloth, placing it in your Saints Gold drawstring baggie in a secure drawer where you won't risk losing them. This step not only prevents loss but also protects your jewelry from dust and potential damage. Repeat this process once every 2-3 months. If you wear your jewelry to the gym and live an active lifestyle outdoors you might benefit from once every month or two. Otherwise refrain from over-cleaning your jewelry.
There you have it!
Cleaning your jewelry at home is a simple yet effective way to maintain its luster and longevity. With just a few household items and a gentle touch, you can ensure that your jewelry always looks its best.
