Cleaning Your Fashion Jewelry

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

With the exception of our replica watches and jewelry that contains certain natural stones (such as jade, pearls, coral, etc.) this is how we beautifully maintain tens of thousands of pieces of Shavonne jewelry:

  1. Immerse the jewelry for 8-10 seconds in any good liquid gold or silver cleaner.
  2. Rinse the jewelry clean under a warm water faucet.
  3. Rinse the jewelry once again in a separate glass or plastic container in a soapy water solution.
  4. And finally, thoroughly rinse the jewelry again under the warm water faucet, then…
  5. Towel dry and leave your jewelry on the towel…
  6. Blow-dry your jewelry with your hair dryer for about 10 seconds at a distance of about 8 to 10 inches, being sure to blow under or behind the stones. Do not hold while blow-drying as the items can get very hot.

The result is beautiful. All water (except certain bottled waters) contains many minerals that, when allowed to air dry, will deposit a fine mineral residue on the surface that eventually dulls that surface of the jewelry. By evaporating all moisture from the jewelry immediately with your hair dryer you also dispose of the mineral dulling problem. The result is a return to its natural beauty.

How to Clean our Fashion Rings

Polishing ClothRecently we have had a few calls about the care of the fashion rings.  We use a simple process here in the office.  We just dip the rings in cleaning solution and then in warm sudsy water.  Then we rinse in clear water, blot dry and then use a blow dryer to make sure the stones are dry inside and out.

NEVER EVER USE AMMONIA to clean your rings in.  Bleach is another harmful chemical to the rings.  Some soaps and hand lotions will make the stones look dull.

Although this is fashion jewelry it does need to be cleaned.  We have received some returns back that all it needed was to be cleaned.  Sometimes just to clean the band all you would need is a polishing cloth.  These cloths are good to wipe lotions and grease from the bands.  So you might want to try one of these even on the bands of your fine jewelry.  They also work great on watch bands.

Just remember if you take care of your rings they will last a very long time.  Again if you have any questions feel free to email or call.
