Very useful tips! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the info.
One of the tips I learned from a Hairdresser is to mix a little of the stuff, (diluted) that they use to soak their combs. I works really well, makes the stones sparkle like brand new.
what a wonderful piece of advice. Thanks a lot and good luck in everything
Thanks for the visit Pamela. You have to use a soft brush or hands. However, if you can afford it then is better to take to the jeweler as they know their job well.
I used to use toothpaste and an old toothbrush but a jeweler told me that toothpaste was too harsh and can scratch the gold and loosen the stones.
I always take mine to a jeweler now.

Good advice here te old toothbrush and paste method will work but choose the non abrasive toothpastes and rinse well afterwards.
