Manufacturer's Jewelry Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

Tip #1 – Plan your outfit from shoes to jewelry before you dress
If your like most people you select your clothes first, and choose your shoes, jewelry and accessories just as you’re running out the door. Take a moment when you select your outfit to think about your jewelry and accessories. Check to see if your rings, earrings, bangles or pins need a cleaning or maybe just a touch-up.

While your showering you can give your jewelry a Connoisseurs Jewelry Bath. Or you can touch-up with Connoisseurs Jewelry Wipes® or use our countertop Jewelry Soap® and be on your way in minutes.

Tip #2 – Home remedies are not effective, or safe for your jewelry
Don’t be tempted to use toothpaste, glass cleaners or ammonia to clean your jewelry. All are great cleaners but not designed for use on your jewelry. Some products are too abrasive.

Toothpaste is abrasive and can leave a residue on gemstones. Glass cleaner is not strong enough to properly clean your jewelry. And, when used full strength, ammonia can stain your clothes.

Tip #3 – Clean your jewelry like a professional – it’s easy
Many people think jewelry cleaners are too strong for their jewelry. Professional jewelers have endorsed Connoisseurs jewelry treatments for use on much of the jewelry in their stores for generations.

They know our products are formulated for every type of jewelry, to clean effectively and safely. Remember, most Connoisseurs products carry the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. This is your assurance that the product is safe to use and will perform well.

Tip #4 – Be sure to choose the right jewelry treatment for gold, silver, pearls, and delicate jewelry
Professionals recommend having a selection of jewelry treatments on hand to properly clean all the different types of jewelry you may have from diamonds to pearls, to handcrafted jewelry and antiques.

Tip #5 – Be sure to read and follow directions carefully on the jewelry cleaners you buy
Proper use of these products will insure that you get maximum performance and appropriate care.

Tip #6 – Consider taking a jewelry cleaner on the road with you
Whether you are traveling, on your way to work, on your way out for dinner or a party after work, it’s easy to take a Connoisseurs Jewelry Wipes® or Gel & Brush with you in your purse or in the glove compartment of your car.

This way you can touch up your jewelry whenever it needs it to look your very best.

Tip #7 – Keep your jewelry organized and safe from scratching – even when you’re on the go
A safe new way to keep your jewelry organized and protected is with one of Connoisseurs soft sided, zip secure Jewelry Carriers™ or Jewelry CarryAlls™. They’re great for when you’re home or when you’re traveling, or when you’re at work or heading to the gym. With one of these your necklaces will not tangle, your earrings with stay in pairs, and your jewelry won’t get scratched.
