IT’S THE HOLIDAYS; CLEAN YOUR JEWELRY!

Happy Holidays!

It’s time to dress up, look festive, and wear all your beautiful jewelry.

So before the guests arrive, the family, the in-laws (and outlaws), before the meal is served, the first thing you should do:

Clean your jewelry!

For nothing ruins a holiday attire quicker than dirty diamonds or gemstones. They look dull, lifeless, and are not the proper way to represent the sparkle they deserve.

So before the doorbell rings, grab your ultrasonic cleaner and toss your diamond jewelry in. Add hot water (not boiling… coffee hot) and a dash of Ammonia, or Mr. Clean, and in just a couple of minutes your items will be good to go.

Use a small scrub brush (or old toothbrush) to gently dab underneath the stones where debris builds up the most.

If you don’t have an ultrasonic cleaner, then fill a bowl with hot water and Ammonia and let your rings, earrings, and pendants soak for a bit. Then use the toothbrush to scrub gently (you don’t want to harm the metals). Rinse them off in another bowl of clean hot water (holding them under the tap, right above the drain is risky business and I DON’T recommend it).

You can also use a polishing cloth to gently remove some slight scratches on the gold or silver, and maybe a dazzle stick for the diamonds…

The point is, make them dance in the light and catch all eyes.

It only takes a minute to brighten up your jewelry, which also brightens up yourself. Clean jewelry looks good, and makes you feel good as well.

So before the guests arrive, bring your diamonds and gems back to life.

Clean them.

You’ll be ready for the holidays and the wonderful compliments.

Cheers! :)
