  • If you have gold jewelry that have become dull because they have been locked in a drawer for a long time, don't worry! Give them a new shine by getting 1 cup of white vinegar and 1 tablespoon of fine salt. Mix the two ingredients in a bowl and then immerse yourself in the jewel in question for about 30 minutes. Then, rinse it and rub it with a cotton cloth. Avoid this mixture if the item has precious stones.
  • If the jewel you need to clean is costume jewellery and is equipped with precious gems, clean it by dipping it in tomato sauce. In fact, it seems that tomato acid is strong enough to eliminate the dirt that causes opacity without damaging the structure of the jewel itself. If it is coral, a bath in water and salt is sufficient. Then just rinse it under running water and scrub it with a nail brush.
  • If your jewel is in silver , clean it with 1 cup of bicarbonate dissolved in 500 ml of warm water. Soak your precious items in this mixture for a whole night and then clean them with a toothbrush. Finally, dry them with a soft cotton cloth.
  • If you want yours mother of pearl comes back shiny and shiny, clean it with a cotton ball soaked in oil and then dry it with a linen cloth.
  • THE diamonds hey platinum jewelry they should be cleaned with 50 ml of water, 2 tablespoons of grated Marseille soap and 5 drops of ammonia: a perfect mixture that will make them shine. Boil the water and then add the Marseille soap and ammonia, then stir to dissolve the ingredients. Then immerse the jewelery and scrub it well with a toothbrush, especially in the crevices.
  • If the jewel to be cleaned is in steel , use vinegar and lemon which brighten its shine. Soak a cloth in a solution of water and vinegar and pass it over the object to be cleaned, or immerse it completely in the solution itself. If it comes to copper or brass , a mixture of water and a few teaspoons of lemon juice is ideal. Lemon and vinegar should never be used with gemstones.
  • Immerse the dirty costume jewelry in a bowl with denatured alcohol and soak for 10 minutes. Then dry it well and you will see it shine.
  • Also the toothpaste it proves to be a valid remedy for cleaning precious items. Spread a little on the object to be cleaned, then rub with a soft cloth or a toothbrush with not too hard bristles, otherwise you risk scratching it. Finally, rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
  • Salt, water and aluminum they are the winning trio for cleaning silver, as the salt and aluminum act as magnets, attracting dirt. Take a heat-resistant glass bowl and line it with aluminum foil. Add hot water and salt and mix. At this point, soak the precious items for about half an hour. The sulfide will be eradicated and you can then dry the objects with a soft cloth: they will shine again.
  • To prevent the costume jewelery from blackening, apply it on it transparent enamel for nails which will form a sort of protective film, making the jewel remain beautiful for longer.
  • To ensure that even the most precious jewels do not get dirty quickly, avoid them coming into contact with lacquers , creams and cosmetic products which cause dirt that is difficult to remove. Remove them before cooking, to prevent them from being exposed to extreme temperatures or significant temperature changes. Don't wear them when you go to the pool or the sea because the accumulation of chlorine or salt will dull them. Remove them before taking care of household chores, because household cleaners are very aggressive. Try to store them away from light (especially if they are pearls), perhaps in a closed box covered in fabric.
