How to Clean Replica Jewelry

Replica jewelry can hold its good looks for many years if it is properly cared for. Here are some helpful reminders.
Inspect the prongs, settings and clasps to make sure they are securely in place. If they seem loose, take them to a reputable jeweler.

Use a nonabrasive cleaner made for the particular jewelry. For example, silver jewelry should be cleaned with a silver polish. If a jewelry cleaner is not available, use mild dish soap and water or even make a paste of baking soda and water.

Depending on product directions, either gently dip the jewelry into the cleaner or apply it to the piece with a soft cloth. If many pieces are dipped or soaked in a cleaner, do not mix silver with gold jewelry as they could be damaged.

se a soft toothbrush to clean crevices but be very careful around pearls and gemstones.

Rinse the piece in warm water to remove excess solution, as directed by the cleaning product. Some metal jewelry should not be rinsed. If rinsing jewelry in a sink, place a plastic bowl in the bottom of the sink to prevent pieces from going down the drain.

Dry the piece and buff it with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Store the jewelry in a study case with a soft interior. Consider getting a partitioned jewelry case or hold to make earrings easier to find.

Jewelry that contains gemstones needs special care. Instead of using jewelry cleaner, they should be gently wiped with a soft cloth that is damp. A professional jeweler can also clean them.

Fortunately, silver jewelry gets less tarnish the more it is worn. It's a great excuse to wear replica silver jewelry.

There are some simple repairs most people can do themselves. For example, if a stone is lose, use a pair of needle-nose pliers around the prongs, near the base, and gently squeeze them closed.

If a stone has fallen out, put a drop of instant glue on the bottom of it before reinserting it into the prong, then gently squeeze the prongs closed as described above. This tip is only for simulated stones. Genuine stones need a professional jeweler's care as they are soft and easily damaged.

Broken pearl necklaces can be repaired by restringing the beads on a new cord. Cut a piece of cord or dental floss that is 12 inches longer than the length of the necklace. Thread a needle and tie a knot about two inches from the end. If possible keep graduated beads in order on the old string. Thread each bead off the old string, thread it onto the new one and tie a knot. Use your fingers and a needle to push the knot against the bead. Continue with the rest of the beads. Thread the cord through a link (either a new one or a link salvaged from the old necklace and then tie a knot and place it against the last knot on the string. Trim the cord. Apply a small amount of glue to the last knots. When it dries, use pliers to insert the end of the cord into the last bead.
