You can put it in fingernail polish remover for a few seconds. I had a girlfriend that worked in a department store in the jewely department and she told me that is what they used all the time. I have also heard that toothpaste will work. Real gold should not run color, sorry.

My uncle taught me a fabulous trick years ago when he cleaned my rings with toothpaste and a toothbrush. They were absolutely sparkling and the toothbrush gets into all the little tough to reach areas. Try that!
Best wishes!=)

i usualy use lysol wipes but they are kinda strong so somethimes i use baby wipe they are gentle enough to be on a babys bottom then they should work on jewelry…they did for me……But I am afraid to say you might of got ripped off and it could be fake……one time my dad bought my jewelry that was expensive and was supposed to be real but sadly it was fake so it turned green:((

Okay first I want to say that I am no expert and so if this messes up your particular piece I apologize before you do anything. I have used a mixture of ammonia, water and dish washing liquid soap such as Dawn and successfully cleaned many fine pieces of jewelry. That might be a good solution for you. 5

toothpaste works. i’ve also heard that if you put it in a cup of water with polident denture cleaner that it will eat away any gunk on the jewelry.

Window Cleaner is usually safe. I use toothpaste and a toothbrush on my wedding set and it makes it gleam!

I would not use household cleaner at all especially if the jewelry is expensive. Go to a jewelry store and pick up some jewelry cleaner and talk to the sales person first to make sure.
take the jewelry with you.
Good Luck

soak in the lime juice and brush it, it wont just clean your jewelry you will also see wether its fake when the color fade/change
you can also use toothpaste for cleaning

Simple dishwashing liquid and warm water works fine. Use a soft cloth and an old toothbrush to get into tiny areas around fine gold work or precious stones. Scrub gently but firmly around stones and in tiny areas in jewelry. Polish with soft cloth. Good old window cleaner works well too.

Toothpaste might work. However I have A LOT of jewellery and have become very friendly with our jeweller.
Here is the deal! And they use this in the shops!
GOLD:::: Ammonia & washing detergent with some hot water. Soak for 30 secs then rinse. Or an easier option – window cleaner and washing detergent!
SILVER::::: Washing soda (NOT washing powder) with alfoil. Ok, you put the alfoil in the bottom of a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of washing soda. Fill with boiling water then add the item to the mixture ensuring it touches the alfoill. This method works for silver and gold, but the one above works much better.
Best of luck!

Nothing works better for gold and diamonds like efferdent, it looks better than if you take them to the jewlers.

Oh forgot to say, you soak just like you were soaking someones dentures, no scrubing or anything needed. They will shine so nice.
