Crafty Tips:	Cleaning gemstones requires a gentle touch. If you go overboard with chemicals, scrubbing, or ultrasonic cleaners, you run the risk of damaging the very thing you’re trying to protect! Use a soft, dry cloth and remove any surface dirt or grime. If that does not clean your jewelry, a mild soapy solution should be your next resort. Mix some lukewarm (never hot) water with a little bit of gentle, non anti-bacterial dish soap, and soak your piece in the solution for a few minutes. After the grime and dirt has been loosened, you can then use a cloth to continue the lather and scrub away the bad spots. As a last resort, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to lather the surface of the stone in gentle circular motions. Finally, give your jewelery a cool, thorough rinse, and pat dry with a cotton cloth. Voila! Gleaming and beautiful.
