“Keep your treasured jewelry clean with routine cleaning at home using professional jewelry care products from your professional jeweler. For best results, we recommend using a specialized liquid cleaning formulation and a professional polishing cloth. Cleaning jewelry is really a two-step process of cleaning and polishing, so get the tools you need.” – Forsythe Jewelers
“Cleaning fine jewelry at home is pretty simple. A store-bought jewelry cleaner or a solution of ammonia, warm water and a dash of dish soap also works great. An ultrasonic and steam machine at a jewelry store always will work best and be the most thorough, though.” – Heritage Fine Jewelry & Gifts
“On most gemstones, especially soft ones such as opals and pearls, never use a liquid cleaner. It can remove the finish or destroy the stone completely. I recommend using a silver cleaning cloth.” – Gemma Gemstone Jewelry & Accessories
