Most gemstones can be easily cleaned at home with a mild dish soap and warm water. However there are a few gemstones that are very fragile and you must be careful not do damage them. At Galina's we offer complimentary cleaning anytime during opening hours. It is always good practice to take your gems in for inspection & cleaning every 6 months.
The best way to clean jewelry at home is to get two bowls. Fill one with warm water and a few drops of a mild dish soap and fill the second with only warm water. Soak your items for a few moments (if you have a gemstone that can be soaked) then scrub them with a soft toothbrush. Then dip each piece into the plain water bowl to rinse off the residue. Lastly dry with a cotton, micro-fiber or lint-free cloth. If you want to get your jewelry expertly cleaned, with a professional steamer stop in for complementary cleaning.
