HOW TO CLEAN JEWELRY AND TARNISHED SILVER

Jewelry, especially diamond jewelry gets dirty very easily. We recommend our customers not to take a shower, or put on moisturizers while wearing jewelry, since sop scum and grease gets stuck on the gemstones and make the jewelry look dull and dirty. Cooking and gardening are other factors that cause jewelry to get dirty really fast. 



If your diamond jewelry is dirty, the best way to clean it at home is using a jewelry cleaning solution. At OKG Jewelry we offer free jewelry cleaning to our customers and additionally a really good jewelry cleaner to use at home. 



The best way to use this solution is to microwave the bottle for a minute, heat up the solution and soak the jewelry in it. If it is platinum/gold or diamonds, you can soak it for an hour and it would be safe to do so. But if the jewelry is made of silver or lead and/or contain soft gemstones, or pearls we would not recommend to use this solution, since it can hurt the material. 

If the jewelry is really dirty, you can brush it with the little brush and soak it for a few more minutes. 

After this all you have to do is to rinse it under the sink with plain water and you will get its sparkle bask. 

TARNISHED SILVER 

The best and easiest way to clean silver jewelry is to use a double sided silver polishing cloth.




This cloth takes away the black residue and brings silver back to life. 



First you wipe it in circular motion with the white side to polish the blackness and tiny scratches,

The the softer blue side gives back the shine to the jewelry. The more you wipe, the better it gets.
