Before cleaning your jewelry, examine it carefully to make sure that 
all settings, clasps and prongs are secure. Once you've done that, 
you're ready to proceed.    
Gold, Platinum and Gemstones    
  Steps:  1.   Use a nonabrasive jewelry cleaner, which you can 
purchase at a local jewelry store. Or use a cleaning solution of mild 
dish soap and water.    
2.   Dip the jewelry in the cleaner or cleaning solution.    
3.   Rinse in warm running water.    
4.   Buff dry with a soft, lint-free cloth until it's shiny.      
Silver  
Steps:  1.   Clean the silver with a nonabrasive silver polish.   
2.   Apply the polish with a soft cloth, gently working it into tains.  
3.   Wipe away excess polish and buff the jewelry with a soft, lint-
free cloth until it's shiny.   
4.   Keep in mind that frequently wearing silver jewelry can keep it 
from becoming tarnished.
