If You Want Your Jewelry To Last, Experts Say You Need These Lifesavers
Admittedly, my jewelry stash is the last thing I think about cleaning regularly, but a recent story we did had me realizing that routine jewelry maintenance is essential. Not just for making sure my adored pieces stay looking their best, but to ensure they'll last as long as possible. It also turns out this doesn't just apply to 'real' and fine jewelry. Proper cleaning and storage of all your sparkly goods can also maintain the lifespan of your most affordable costume jewelry, too. To find the best jewelry cleaning products, methods and tools available, I asked a couple of expert jewelers what they recommend or use themselves. According to the creative director at Spur Jewelry, Simone Paasche, how often you clean your jewelry and what you use to do it entirely depends on the material. 'Platinum or gold set with diamonds can be cleaned frequently. Colorful gemstones are softer and they should be treated gently, cleaned infrequently,' she said. But be extra careful with pieces containing opals and pearls, as those should be cleaned just with polishing and not using any liquid solutions, Paasche cautioned. 'Preventative care is just as important as regular cleaning,' said Andrej Strojin, the CEO and co-founder of New England-based jewelry company Haverhill. 'Avoid getting lotions, sunscreen, perfume and harsh household cleaners (such as bleach) on your jewelry to best maintain its' shine,' he said. For a more in-depth understanding about the specific material of your jewelry and how to clean it, refer to our previous coverage. But if you already know what you're working with and are ready to shine your jewelry into optimal brilliance, keep reading to see our jeweler-recommended cleaning products below. 1. A polishing cloth Amazon Simone Paasche, creative director at Spur Jewelry, said that Sunshine polishing cloths are very popular at the company, which renovates heirloom materials into the new wearable pieces. The long-lasting and pre-soaked cloth uses very fine micro-abrasives and a cleansing agent to remove any tarnish or grime from jewelry's surface so pieces look brighter and shinier. "These are great for smooth metal surfaces like a signet ring or disk pendant," Paasche said. Get it from Amazon for $9.98. 2. Illuminating tarnish-removing pads Amazon Another polisher suggested by Paasche is this set of buffing "Poms" that Paasche said can be a nice portable cleaner, since they don't require the use of water or cleaning solution. Each of these three pads are formula- and ingredient-free, so they can be good for nearly every type of jewelry, and are made with a non-abrasive hydrophilic material that absorbs and traps debris, oil and buildup from jewelry's surface. Get it from Amazon for $16.50 (available in two styles). 3. A plant-based concentrate for sonic cleaners Strojin said that if you're going the sonic cleaning route, you should be mindful of the cleansing solution you use in the machine and steer away from overly abrasive solutions or detergents. Instead, he suggests things like vinegar, baking soda mixtures or plant-based cleaners specifically meant for ultrasonic machines, which the company claims are gentle on the environment and safe to use on a variety of jewelry materials. We chose this highly rated plant-based concentrate by Calyptus uses a proprietary agent that binds tightly to metals to help dislodge stubborn grime and oils. "It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the ultrasonic machine and dilute the cleaning agent appropriately," Strojin said. Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 4. A classic dish soap formula Amazon "The best bet is always warm diluted soapy water and a soft bristled tooth brush," Paasche said. "Let your jewels soak in a glass of this concoction and you will see the water turn gray before you even begin brushing! Dawn dish soap works beautifully for this." There's a good chance you already have a bottle of this time-honored soap in your kitchen already, but in case you don't, you can stock up here. And just a reminder, this grease-cutting formula uses 100% biodegradable surfactants to achieve nearly all of your cleaning needs. Get it from Amazon for $5.84. 5. A mild castile soap Amazon Strojin's soap recommendation is any mild formula that's free from strong fragrances, dyes and abrasives and he calls castile soap "a great choice." The Haverhill jewelry care guide provided by the co-founder describes castile as a gentle liquid soap made from natural ingredients, like olive oil, that is safe to use on jewelry. We selected this popular 100% castile formula that's unscented. Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 6. Ultra-soft micro-bristled toothbrushes Amazon Both Strojin and Paasche agree that using a soft-bristled toothbrush for the "soak and scrub" method is the best choice. Based on this tip, we found this two-pack of brushes that features more than 15,000 ultra-fine and soft bristles that claim to be very gentle on surfaces. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.98. 7. A jewelry-cleaning shine stick Clean+Care "This jewelry cleaning stick is perfect for travel," Paasche said of this pre-loaded pen featuring a brush tip whose bristles can easily reach in tight crevices and stone settings. Just twist to release the solution, apply to jewelry then rinse and dry. Get it from Clean+Care for $15. 8. A stackable set of velvet-lined storage trays Amazon We previously spoke to Karina Brez, a third-generation jeweler, who said that storage definitely plays a part in keeping and maintaining your jewelry. She suggested opting for a soft storage solution like a velvet- or leather-lined, which can prevent scratches on stones and metals. We chose this very well-rated and stackable set of four trays, which are covered in a soft velvet fabric and have tons of different organizational compartments for rings, necklaces, bracelets and more. Get it from Amazon for $19.19+ (available in two colors).

MIAA divisional wrestling championships: What to watch for in Division 1, 2, and 3 brackets
Though St. John's Prep won its sixth straight Division 1 North sectional title, it was Haverhill taking D1 States last year. Shawsheen and Central Catholic had strong showings in the North a week ago and will look to make up ground. Advertisement In probably the most unpredictable tournament of this weekend, Division 3 States features quite a few legitimate contenders. Tewksbury dominated the bottom three weight classes last year with sophomores Jack Lightfoot, Nick Desisto, and Ben Barrasso earning titles. The defending champ has its chance to repeat, but Bristol-Plymouth, Wayland, Wakefield, Ashland, and Gloucester all have well-rounded rosters that can contend. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Related : New England's best heavyweights: senior edition Thomas Brown and Alex Bajoras always make for a must-watch matchup, even though Brown has been winning all the high school bouts between the two. Bajoras is the only Massachusetts opponent since Brown's freshman year to get within a point of the Chelmsford program wins leader and national champion. The two were the best 285-pounders at the state, all-state, and New England level last year, and it would be a surprise to not see the first of three more matchups happen Saturday. Lowell's quest to repeat Last year's All-State girls' champion brings back the roster that made it potent, including first member Amada Moundele (165 pounds) in her senior postseason. But the Red Raiders have an inherent disadvantage at this level, in that girls' heavier weight brackets tend to be smaller and don't allow Moundele and 2024 All-State champ Amelyiah Martinez (235) to wrestle as many matches to earn points. Putnam won the Lowell Holiday girls' bracket earlier this season over the host, and looks to be strong in D2, whereas Ashland is the defending D3 winner but graduated New England champ and two-time All-State gold medalist Nora Quitt. Advertisement Elijah Prophete looking to do it again Last year's 215-pound title match showcased the power of Taunton's sub-heavyweight, as he was all over the mat taking down Haverhill's Matt Harrold. This year, Prophete is at his more comfortable 190 weight class, but once again the No. 2 seed opposite the North sectional champ (Central Catholic's Caden Chase). Morales next to reach 200 as a junior? Shawsheen 150-pounder James Tildsley earned his 200th victory with his sectional championship last weekend, the wins leader in a trio of record-breaking juniors. Yandel Morales can get there with four wins in the 132-pound bracket at D1 states. Middleborough 150-pounder Matt Patterson needs six more. Which bracket will girls wrestle? Several girls placed at sectional tournaments last weekend, highlighted by second- and third-place finishes in Division 3 North at 106 pounds by Triton's Riley-Anne Tarmey and Tewksbury's Brooke Lightfoot. They qualified for Girls' All-States with their performances, and have their choice of wrestling in girls' states or open states. Tarmey has chosen to wrestle the girls' bracket, but the state brackets are not yet updated to reflect each choice. AJ Traub can be reached at
