How to Clean Jewelry With Dish Soap and Water
The safest way to care for fine jewelry at home is warm water and mild dish soap.
This works for gold, sterling silver, and lab-grown diamonds; clean daily-wear pieces every two weeks.
How to Store Fine Jewelry Safely
Store jewelry in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, a bedroom drawer beats a humid bathroom. Keep pieces separated in soft pouches, and remove jewelry before exercise, swimming, cleaning, or applying lotions and perfumes.

To care for fine jewelry, clean regularly with mild soap and water, store away from heat and chemicals, and get periodic inspections. Handcrafted fine jewelry from Benchcraft Bling is built to last, treat it with gentle care and it will reward you with lasting beauty.
