How to clean peridot jewelry
2010-08-16 14:41:19
Peridot is more affordable and abundant than other gemstones, with the hue ranging from a light yellow-green to a deeper olive green and brownish green. Its transparent green beauty gained peridot the honor of “gem of sun” by Egyptians. Due to all the reasons above, peridot is widely used in jewelry making. Proper care can preserve the beauty of peridot jewelry, and the following are some tips on how to clean peridot jewelry.
1. Make preparation for cleaning peridot jewelry. One major factor that you should take into consideration is the selection of cleaner. You should avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives, for they can bring damage to the surface of the stone. In this case you can choose mild soap as cleaner. Other things needed include a small bowl, warm water, soft-bristled brush and soft cloth.
2. Fill the bowl with warm water, and add some mild soap like dishwashing detergent. Stir the mixture to make a solution. If the peridot jewelry is extremely dirty, you may drop a small amount of ammonia in the water, and this will help brighten the stone.
3. Put your peridot jewelry in the bowl and soak it in the solution for one or two minutes.
4. Scrub the peridot jewelry with a soft-bristled brush gently. You should handle the brush careful and clean the jewelry thoroughly. Make sure every small corner is reached by the brush.
5. Rinse the peridot jewelry with clean water to remove all the dirt and cleaners. Dry the jewelry with a soft cloth to finish the cleaning.
In conclusion, peridot jewelry is relatively easy to handle. With mild soap as the cleaner and soft brush as the tool, you can clean it by yourself at home.
