How To Clean Cubic Zirconia Cz Jewelry

By:


To maintain your cubic zirconia jewelrys fire and brilliance, it is very important to keep all your cz gems and jewelry clean. How to care and clean high quality cubic zirconia cz jewelry set in precious metals like 14k gold, 18k gold or pure platinum is a common question asked by many consumers. Maintaining a consistent cleaning schedule for your cubic zirconia cz jewelry at home will maintain its original luster and brilliance for years of enjoyment and plentiful sparkle.


High quality cubic zirconia cz jewelry set in 14k gold, 18k gold or pure platinum can be worn and cleaned exactly the same way as real mined diamond fine jewelry. Cubic zirconia cz jewelry can get dirty and dull from everyday wear just like real diamond jewelry. Fingerprints, body oils, soaps, hairsprays, lotions and fragrances are all daily items that your jewelry is exposed to which can affect the brilliance and original luster of your cubic zirconia cz jewelry. Clear gems like cubic zirconia or diamonds require light to enter through the stone and be reflected within and out of the stone to give you true sparkle and brilliance. When dirt and oils on your gems impede the progress of this light into, through and out of your gems, the brilliance factor is seriously affected.


Some options for cleaning high quality cubic zirconia cz jewelry include regular jewelry cleaner that you can purchase at your local department store or you can make your own solution at home. To make your own solution, mix one part of household ammonia with three parts of warm or hot tap water (not boiling) and soak your jewelry for 15 to 20 minutes. Next, use a soft bristled toothbrush to gently clean your gems and jewelry. Make sure to clean all areas in addition to the underside of the stone(s). Rinse your jewelry with warm water to make sure all the build up of oils, lotions and soaps are washed away and dry your jewelry with a soft cloth. If necessary, you can repeat and clean once again for heavy dirt and oil build up.


Additionally, you can purchase an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner designed for home use. An ultrasonic cleaner is highly effective when the manufacturers instructions are followed. It is also recommended that you keep your cubic zirconia cz gold jewelry away from harsh chemicals like chlorine and other cleaning fluids, these chemicals will typically not harm your cubic zirconia stones, but they may affect the metal your stones are set in. Abrasions and pitting can occur as well as discoloration. Always store your jewelry in soft cloth bags or their original boxes to protect your jewelry from scratching and exposure to harsh elements. When in doubt, you can always take your high quality cubic zirconia cz gold or platinum jewelry to a local jeweler to be professionally cleaned and polished.
