I don’t know about you, but I love sparkly, shiny things. My favorite thing to do while shopping is to gaze at the pretty things in jewelry counter. Sometimes I’ll stop for a minute and Husband has to come back and find me. So, naturally I like to keep the jewelry I already have clean and sparkly. I like to clean my jewelry that I wear regularly about once a week. I have a little jar of cleaner that I normally use but I’m going to share with you a diy jewelry cleaning solution<\/strong> that works just as well. You will need:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Water<\/li>\n
  2. Mild soap<\/li>\n
  3. Rubbing Alcohol*<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    *If you are cleaning opals, pearls or other soft stones, do not <\/em>add the alcohol. Also, do not use this solution for porous or non solid stones as any liquid may damage this type of stone.<\/p>\n

    This diy cleaner works well for precious and semi precious stones like diamonds, rubies, topaz ect. I cleaned my white gold diamond ring, a yellow gold topaz ring and earrings.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Add a few drops of mild soap to a bowl or container.

    4. Soak the jewelry for five minutes
      \n\"How<\/li>\n
    5. Scrub the jewelry with a soft brush, I used an artists brush. A soft toothbrush will work well too.

    6. Rinse the jewelry in warm water

    7. Dry with a lint free cloth<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The warm water and soap help to get the gunk off of your ring and the rubbing alcohol is to help disinfect and polish the ring. Just to re-iterate, you can use this solution minus the alcohol<\/em> to clean solid pearls and opals; use a slightly damp cloth if soaking them concerns you. As compared to the jewelry cleaner from the jewelry store<\/strong>, this homemade solution works just as well but minus the cost.<\/p>\n
