How to Clean Antique Jewelry

Maintaining the luster and appeal of your antique jewelry is probably important to you, especially if your jewelry holds sentimental or monetary value. Some methods for jewelry cleaning can be harsh on precious metals and stones, even causing them to be stained or dulled in appearance. Cleaning your antique jewelry can be fairly easy when you follow a few simple steps.

Instructions

    • 1

      Grab a soft, unused toothbrush or a very soft, clean, unused cloth. The softer the better.

    • 2

      Apply a small amount of window cleaner, mild soapy water or a solution formulated for cleaning jewelry to the cloth or toothbrush.

    • 3

      Stroke your jewelry gently with your toothbrush or soft cloth and remove all visible dirt. Use a damp cotton swab or your soft toothbrush for hard-to-reach places.

    • 4

      Leave your jewelry out to dry for at least an hour after you've cleaned them.
