Ok, so here is the thing, we all have some kind of ring or necklace or earring that we love. And we also love to wear them all the time! But wearing them all the time makes them dirty because they accumulate dead skin, oils and other gruesome stuff. Here is a tutorial on how to clean your jewelry. I have only tried this on jewelry made of gold and platinium so other than those two I do not know how it will end up. Today I am going to show you how to clean your jewelry using one of my favorite rings. The ring is made of gold and the stone is amethyst.
Materials needed:
- old toothbrush
- water
- gloves
- bowl
- ammonia or mr. clean
- jewelry (of course!)
Procedure:

3. With heat protective gloves take the bowl out of the microwave.
4. Add about 3 caps of ammonia.
5. Put your piece of jewelry in the mix of water and ammonia and let it soak for 5 minutes
6. While wearing latex gloves to protect your skin, pick up your jewelry.
7. Take the old toothbrush and dip it in the mix and scrub your jewelry thoroughly.
8. Rinse your jewelry with tap water.
9. Dry your ring with a paper towel and admire your new super sparkly piece of jewelry!

WARNING: Be careful with the ammonia because it may burn your skin. Also be careful when taking the bowl out of the microwave because the water will be hot. Also be careful that you don't get sprayed with the mix while brushing the piece of jewelry as this may result in some ammonia falling into your eye and this would be a terrible inconvenience. Also if your precious or semi-precious stone has a crack, it may break when put in really hot water.
