Gold, gemstones, and even diamonds can chip, crack, or scratch if they are knocked hard enough against an object that has a stronger composition. Harsh chemicals such as bleach can damage metals and weaken settings, causing loose or lost stones. Chlorinated water can react chemically with metal, which can change the color or weaken the settings.
- Cooking, baking, doing dishes or cleaning (especially with bleach or harsh chemicals).
| Clean |
Gold: Soak in dish soup water(I use Miss Meyers of 7th Generation) for 10 minutes. Scrub with an old toothbrush. Dry with a soft cloth.
Silver: Make a thick paste with 1/4 cup baking soda and two tablespoons of water. Brush onto silver and rub. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
Brass: Dissolve 1 teaspoon salt in 1/2 cup vinegar and add enough flour to make a paste. Rub onto the brass and leave for 10 minutes; rinse and buff dry.
Copper: Combine a few tablespoons of lemon juice with 1 tablespoon of baking soda and rub the mixture in until the grime begins to come off. Then, polish off with a cloth.
