How to Clean Silver Gemstone Jewelry
- 1). Place a soft cloth on the table or work surface to cushion and catch the jewelry if it falls. Do not clean jewelry over a sink due to the risk of dropping it on the hard porcelain or down the drain.
- 2). Use the soft bristled brush and non-abrasive toothpaste with a bit of warm water and gently clean the silver, with care not to get any paste on the gemstone. Avoid scrubbing in a circular motion.
- 3). Use warm water with a bit of mild soap on a soft cloth to gently clean the silver and any non-porous gemstone.
- 4). Dry with a soft cloth.
- 5). Use a soft dry cloth for cleaning porous gemstones to avoid the chemicals in cleaners being absorbed and causing discoloration of the stone.
