Cleaning Diamond Rings & Jewelry,Use a solution of six cups water and one cup ammonia. Use a soft bristle toothbrush or toothpick to remove any dirt or particles from any crevices. Rinse well in water and buff dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning Silver Jewelry or pears,Use a soft bristle toothbrush with mild soap and warm water to restore the shine and brilliance of silver jewelry. Except pears, others should avoid immersing your sterling silver jewelry into jewelry cleaning dips, they should be cleaned by hand. Use a soft cloth to buff your silver jewelry for a nice, clean shine.

Cleaning Gold, Platinum and other Gemstone Jewelry,Use a solution of mild dish washing liquid, like Ivory. Soak jewelry in this solution for a few minutes, then lightly brush away any dirt with a soft brush. Rinse with luke warm water and air dry or buff with a soft cloth. But be sure not to soak any soft stones like turquoise, amber or lapis, as soaking can damage their polish. For particularly dirty gold jewelry, soak in alcohol or ammonia before cleaning.
