With something like a wedding set, I wouldn't risk doing it at home. It's special, isn't it? Of course alka seltzer, toothpaste, home kits would all get it clean, but a professional jeweler will *polish* it. I'd take it to a jeweler to be cleaned professionally. Malls/chains might do it free, but I have found the small local places always polish for free if you ask nicely. Takes 5 minutes max.

Answer: Many already suggested taking your set to a jewelry store ...

Many already suggested taking your set to a jewelry store and I totally agree.....NOT ONLY will they clean and polish your set but they will check your prongs to make sure your diamonds are setting in there nice and snug so they don't fall out when you least expect them to...replacements are costly!!! Using a home cleaner purchased from the jeweler will be fine but once a year take it to them to be done well and checked if you value your set....

You can buy small tubs of jewelry cleaner at pretty much any retail store...target, walmart, etc. They have one for gold and one for silver, both come with a small soaking tray and a little brush from scrubbing. They work really well, last for a really long time, and I believe they are under $10. Goodluck!

Answer: Depends on what kind of jewelry you are talking about. ...

Depends on what kind of jewelry you are talking about. Gold, platinum with natural (not dyed or treated) stones clean up well in ammonia. Ammonia may damage fake stones or gold plating. Mr. Clean works well too. For silver, you can use a commercial silver polish, like the kind your grandmother would use to clean the good silver utensils. Or a good silver polishing cloth. The best way to clean a diamond that I found was to take an old toothbrush and white toothpaste (it cant be the gel) scrub the jewelry, rinse in hot water then dip the diamond in rubbing alcohol.

For diamonds - ammonia works well diluted. My moms diamonds used to sparkle when she cleaned the crystal chandelier. lol Toothpaste gets messy.

There are some things you could use which you most probably have in your house. 1. Vinegar (soak the jewellery in it for a while. when u take it out take a piece of cloth, dip it in the vinegar and then into some table salt. Rub the piece of jewellery vigorously with the cloth.) 2. Lime/Lemon (take a slice of lime/lemon & rub the jewellery vgorously with it till it shines) 3. Toothpaste (squeeze a blob of toothpaste on to your finger rub the jewellery hard between your finger(s) and thumb as though rubbing away dirt.) Hope you find some of this useful.

I noticed the answer that toothpaste cleans gold. While it might clean it, it is not a good idea to use. Gold is very soft and toothpaste will make small dents and imperfections in the jewelry causing it to look pitted and ugly. The best solution is to use warm water with a mild soap or diluted amonia. (6 parts water, 1 part amonia.) Scrub with a soft toothbrush.

Answer: Here are some ways to clean your jewelry at home. I have ...

Here are some ways to clean your jewelry at home. I have used of all of these & they really work. 1. The quickest & easiest way that I have found to cleanjewelry at home is to use the sterling silver jewelry cleaner that wal-mart sells for $4 dollars. This works great onsterling silver jewelry that has mild tarnishing. (NOTE do not put jewelry with gem stones in to any mild or strong cleaner because it may damage some stones, this would ruin a peal fast!) 2. Another quick way to clean your jewelry but I do not recommend it because it has strong chemicals is Tarnex. If your jewelry is very tarnished (black) Tarnex will clean it. (Only use Tarnex on jewelry that is not plated. Never put jewelry with gem stones in Tarnex it will make you cry) 3. For sterling silver jewelry with gem stones , I would recommend whitening tooth past. It will take a little work but this is one of the safest ways to clean your jewelry. Get the tooth past very bubbly with a old tooth brush then leave the tooth past on your tarnished jewelry for about 5mins (some times more if very tarnished). After 5mins brush your jewelry till the shine shines through. Rinse with warm water & towel dry. (repeat is you need to) This works great for most ofsterling silver jewelry, it also works great on gold & diamonds. 4. A sterling silver cleaning cloth is the best way I have found to clean sterling silver jewelry. It will really bring out the shine in your tarnished sterling silver. (also works great on gold). I forget what name brand the one I have is but I know of a site that sells them. (this takes more time but it is well worth it) http://www.firemountaingems.com/details.asp?PN=H203075TL I hope this helps to answer your question. One more note do not put Antiqued jewelry in 1 or 2. I had a pretty cleric antiqued ring that now looks totally new because I cleaned it with the wal-mart cleaner. If you want your Antiqued sterling silver to be clean but still look antiqued clean it with a cleaning cloth because you are more in control how much tarnish you remove.
