The right cleaning solution will make all the different, whether you are trying to restore tarnished jewelry, or have just purchased some new silver earrings or wedding rings that you would like to shine brightly. There are many easy-to use at-home cleaning solutions. We talked to Katie, a gemologist and owner of Serpentine Jewels, and Laura Elizabeth, the founder of luxury jewelry line Laura Elizabeth Jewelry, for tips on which cleaners are best for a variety of materials and types of discoloration.
Jewellery Cleaner - Target
For everyday rings and necklaces, Katie recommends foam jewelry wipes like this one from Weiman that are safe for all metals and almost all gemstones. She suggests using liquid cleaners with a brush if you have jewelry that has intricate settings and links.
Connoisseurs Precious Jewelry Cleaner
This formula can be used to clean jewelry made from diamonds, platinum or gold. It will restore its shine. It's gentle on gems but comes with a brush, a tray and dipping solution for maximum effect.
Connoisseurs Dazzle Cleaner Gel
This gel-based polisher is perfect for pave gemstones and other hard-to reach stones. The gel-based cleaner's polymers can reduce the appearance of minor scratches. It is gentle enough for soft metals and comes with a small bristle brush.
Liquid jewelry cleaners are a good option for most jewelry, but they aren't cheap per use and can irritate your skin if you use them too much. Many of these products use chemicals, such as ammonia, to lift dirt and grime off your jewelry.
The Juli Brush
For a professional-grade clean, Ali Galgano, a gemologist and jewelry designer, recommends this electric sonic brush. The device produces 500 microstrokes per minute, which sweeps dirt away and polishes diamonds to a brilliant finish. It's also handy for removing grease from between closely set stones, and the sonic vibrations can gently agitate loose stones without scratching them.
Galgano claims that it is a very safe and efficient way to clean diamonds. The Juli Brush has a rotating head which can reach into small spaces. It also comes with different attachments to clean in various ways.
Simple Shine Two-Sided Cloths
Katie recommends a two-sided cloth if you have lots of jewelry with intricate, complex designs. Use one side to remove the tarnish while using the other side to buff for a super shine finish. Simple Shine two-sided wipes are made with a nontoxic, safe solution to clean silver, copper and more.
They come in a handy travel case for easy storage and are good for spot cleaning when you're traveling. You can also use them to clean large amounts of jewelry in one go, without having to reapply solution several times.
All cleanings are not created equal. You will need to test and research before you can choose the cleaner that is best for your individual needs.

How To
How to Pick the Best Shoes
There are a few things you should remember when choosing shoes. The first step is to determine the right shoe size. It is essential to know your shoe size in order to purchase the right size, especially if you are buying your first pair. They should fit comfortably. They won't last if you don't like them.
It is also important to consider the type of shoes that you will be wearing. What type of shoe do you prefer: casual shoes, dressy shoes or sports shoes? You are looking for shoes that work for different occasions? For example, formal shoes can be worn to weddings and other events, while sneakers can only be worn during sport activities. Your lifestyle and preferences will determine the type of shoe you choose.
The type of material is also important. Although leather shoes are timeless and long-lasting, they are expensive. Synthetic materials such as rubber, canvas, mesh, etc., are cheaper than leather but less durable. Plastic is often thought to be cheap. However, this doesn't make them look bad. There are many types of synthetic materials, like suede, nubuck, microfiber, and others. They are inexpensive and easy to maintain.
The final thing to consider is how much money your budget will allow you to spend on shoes. Although high-quality shoes do cost more than cheaper ones, there is not much difference in prices between brands. Don't be afraid to spend a lot on shoes. You'll get great value.
