First, make sure there is a hair catcher in your sink drain that will catch any fallen gemstones or jewelry. You don’t want to lose any jewelry down the drain!
Next, fill a little bowl with warm (not hot) water and add a drop or two of Dawn Dishwashing Liquid. This detergent is great at removing greasy dirt and grime from jewelry easily. Soak your jewelry in the solution for 10 minutes then very gently rub a baby’s soft toothbrush all over the jewelry.

Those sonic devices that are sold to consumers to clean their jewelry should not be used, oddly enough. They are far too powerful for constant use. They are really meant for very dirty jewelry pieces. For home use you want to just give it a quick clean and your jewelry isn’t usually that dirty all the time. So, avoid those little, handy machines. Chocolate and White Diamond Ring by Le Vian
