Why is regular jewelry cleaning so important?
No matter whether engagement ring, chain or bracelet due to daily use, even high -quality jewelry loses brilliance. Especially with diamonds, dirt particles are stuck in the frame and reduce the light reflection. Gold can start and lose its warm shine. With the right care, you bring your jewelry back to shine and significantly extend your lifespan.
What do you need to clean gold and diamond jewelry?
You only need a few aids for gentle jewelry cleaning at home:
- a soft toothbrush (ideal: baby toothbrush)
- a bowl with lukewarm water
- Mild detergent without aggressive ingredients
- a soft cloth or microfiber cloth
- Optional: jewelry polishing cloth
Tip: Do not use home remedies such as vinegar, lemon juice or toothpaste. These can damage gold or gemstones.
