How Do You Clean Freshwater Pearl Jewelry?
Want to clean your freshwater-pearl jewelry to a polished, smudge-free shine, just the way it was brand-new behind the store glass? Here’s how. Clean your delicate freshwater-pearl jewelry regularly, and it will maintain its beauty for a lifetime. Mix up a solution of one cup of warm water and 1/4 cup of ammonia. Soak the jewelry in the solution for 20 minutes. Gently scrub the jewelry with a soft-bristle toothbrush, getting into the small areas between the pearl and the setting. Rinse the jewelry with warm water. Lay the jewelry on a tissue to dry.
