JEWELRY CLEANING AND CARE
All jewelry will show signs of wear with time and most metals will eventually tarnish. The jewelry may be cleaned and tarnish removed with a jewelry polishing cloth or silver polish. All oxidized silver jewelry should not be polished as polishing may remove the oxidation.
You can make your own cleaning solution using six parts warm water to one part ammonia. Dip your gold or silver jewelry in the solution and scrub gently using a toothbrush. Rinse in warm water and dry with a paper towel.
It is best to keep all stones away from extreme heat and sudden changes in temperature. With the exception of diamonds and sapphires, avoid contact with cleaning solutions.
Gold plated or gold vermeil and gold filled jewelry will gradually darken with time and should not have contact with cleaning solutions or be polished.
