A Guide to Precious Metal Jewelry Cleaning
Clean your gold jewelry with a mild detergent or ammonia solution (one part ammonia to six parts water). Do not use this solution on any gemstone besides diamonds, rubies, and sapphires. It is safe to clean these three stones using an at-home cleaning method, but most other gemstones like emeralds, opals, and turquoise, etc., are too porous and delicate and will be negatively affected by these solutions.
Let your Jewelry Soak for 5-10 minutes.
Scrub with a soft brush (toothbrush) to loosen any stubborn dirt between the details.
Rise under water and gentry pat dry with a towel (do not rub as you can catch prongs and loosen and lose diamonds)

Line a bowl with aluminum foil and pour in hot, salted water.
Place your silver jewelry in contact with the aluminum foil and move your jewelry around in a swirling motion.
When the metal has become bright (this will only take a few minutes), remove your jewelry.
Rinse with warm water and gently pat dry with a soft cloth.
