DIY Jewelry cleaner

[@brasiljesp]

Did this to mine and my husband's ring and it worked beautifully! My ring is so sparkly and my diamond is shining so much just like when I first got it! Definitely doing this once a month. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@tplantss]

I tried all the formulae in the internet, and only yours worked for my jewelry with caked-in black "something." Thank you so much. I've looked all these years and nothing worked: not the toothpaste, not the vinegar, not with Mr. Clean and not all the other combinations. Baking soda alone did not work. Maybe it will but not with the grime my jewelry had for years of non-use and storage. I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!

[@MsCavalier01]

You're VERY welcome! I'm so glad you found this and it worked for you. Have a great week! Hugs, Colleen :-)

[@MammaneedsAnap]

Have to tell you this is the third time I've done this because of you and I love how it turns out!! Headed out for Holiday time with family today and thought it was time to get sparkly and you came to mind. Sure miss you and promise to catch up with you one day!! Hugs to you Colleen! XOXOX.

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Julie, I'm so happy you like it! Have a sparkling good time tonight!! Hugs, Colleen xox :)

[@rb.wilson3647]

i just tried this and my rings look as good as when I take them to be cleaned at the jewelry store!! thanks for posting this video :)

[@MsCavalier01]

+Raime Wilson You're welcome, Raime! Thanks so much for watching! Hope you have a great week! :-)

[@taurusthebullheaded]

Great idea girlfriend, made your ring really sparkle, it's funny sometimes how you don't notice they get so dirty until you clean them.

[@rediscoveringme50]

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much. I'm always on the lookout for these home recipes for cleaners as I wonder about chemicals in the shop bought products, specially silver cleaner, and then there's the cost factor. Have to confess I've lost my wedding & engagement rings but still have my eternity ring in my jewellery box. This will be perfect for all my silverware! xxx Jo

[@MsCavalier01]

Thanks Jo! I couldn't believe all of the crap that came out from behind the stone. Let me know how it works on your silverware. Hugs, Colleen xox :)

[@rxstrmom]

Great Colleen…I have one of those "plates" that you put in a glass dish, pour hot water and the Arm & Hammer Washing Soda in and it's a chemical reaction…you don't have to do anything - the reaction happens immediately and you don't have to do anything that may be abrasive to your jewelry…works on gold and silver as well and your silverware!!!! - anything that tarnishes or gets dirty. Takes about 5 seconds!!! :)) patti

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Patti, I've seen those plates on t.v. commercials. I couldn't believe how good the baking soda worked. It loosened up all the gunk that had been building up and it was on the tinfoil when I dumped out the solution. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hugs, xox :)

[@rxstrmom]

I've had my plate for probably 10 years and I don't have to do anything..I purchased it locally….back in the day of flying we had little tubes of ammonia in the galley in case someone "fainted" and we would break one of those open and dip our rings in it and boy did they sparkle!! There are so many ways to clean jewelry…thanks for one more!

[@LioraHessArt]

rxstrmom Where can I get one of those plates? Thanks!

[@MariaMartinez-tt8ru]

I'm copying that recipe! Beautiful results! Love and blessings,?😍😍

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Maria! I was so surprised at how nice this worked on my wedding set. I think it has something to do with a chemical reaction with the tinfoil. Let me know how you like it. Hugs, Colleen xox :-)

[@catherine32355]

you read my mind Colleen! I have been searching high and low for a tried and true safe DIY cleaner, i was told by a jeweller that deposits in a cleaner can bind to the diamond and to be careful not to clean any other item in the same cleaning solution with the diamond ring, been using a mircro fibre cloth and a mild dish soap which actually cleans surprising well but figure i can do better :)

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Catherine, I can't believe how well this works, especially with the electric toothbrush. My ring hasn't shined like this in a long time. Let me know if you try it. Hugs, xo :)

[@rixbrazil]

Good show! I use the same method! Only a soft toothbrush is highly recommended. Never thought of using my electric toothbrush (I'll check to see if they sell soft heads). Oh, and please don't dry your ring with paper towels. They leave fibres. I use a soft linen or cotton cloth. Of, love you ring. Thanks for sharing.

[@stephysat28]

I used tide in lace if dawn and it worked fantastic, thank you!

[@skierty2]

Colleen, I am going to clean some jewelry now:-) Your wedding ban is beautiful and clean now! Thanks for sharing. Have a great night. Hugs to you....Debbie

[@MsCavalier01]

Let me know how yours comes out Debbie. Hugs, xo :)

[@StayFabulouswithNisha]

Interesting, I clean my jewellery with just washing up liquid and water, I must try your way. By the way beautiful ring. xoxo

[@MsCavalier01]

Thank you Nisha!! Let me know if you try this! Hugs, xox :)

[@bumblebeebee0]

Love your nails! Thanks for the video

[@MsCavalier01]

Thank you!

[@kellyrenee90]

Love this! I can finally leave comments now that I upgraded google plus, but I never stopped watching ;) xoxo Kelly

[@MammaneedsAnap]

Wow! So sparkly clean! I think I'll go wash mine right up now! By the way...LOVE all of your bling!! ;) Love ya Colleen!

[@MsCavalier01]

LOL, I wonder how many people are washing their rings after watching this! Let me know how your's comes out! Love ya! xox :))

[@angelbabesuz1612]

Thanks for the recipe Colleen, I must try it out, by the way, your ring is absolutely stunning, never seen anything like it before! :) hugs, Susan xx

[@MsCavalier01]

Thank you!! It was my husband's mothers wedding set. xox :)

[@angelbabesuz1612]

was it really, wow ~~~ it truly is stunning :) xox

[@neenagraham]

The jewelry store told me to just use the green Mr. Clean to clean my rings with. best tuing I've EVER tried.

[@onlymesohyper]

Great tip have been using this method for years minus the dish soap clean all my silver ware and silver items and jewelry. Works great and is cheap and easy ;). That is a very nice wedding ring xoxo Ps, Was sick so I missed a lot of your vids will try to catch up :)

[@MsCavalier01]

Thanks Danielle! I hope you're feeling much better now! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hugs, Colleen xox :)

[@ElleIsForLiving]

What a difference! Great video - thanks for sharing this xoxo Elle

[@CarpediemMarti]

Great tip! Your ring is beautiful, especially now. If I don't get the chance again, hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for new friends like you, Colleen. Hugs, Marti

[@MsCavalier01]

Thanks Marti! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving also! Lots of love, Colleen xox :)

[@carolyncampbell9364]

Thanks for the tip on how yo recycle my battery operated toothbrush! Your ring looks fantastic!♥

[@MsCavalier01]

They come in handy for stuff like cleaning rings. Thanks Carolyn! Hope you're having a great night! Hugs, Colleen xox :)

[@Ann4U2000]

Love diy vids. I'll be giving this a try. Thanks Colleen. :) Btw...that is one beautimous ring!

[@MsCavalier01]

Thanks Ann! Let me know how it works on your jewelry! Hugs, xox :)

[@MrsLoretta]

Thanks for the recipe Colleen..Your rings look beautiful..xoxo Loretta

[@MsCavalier01]

Thanks Loretta! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Big Hugs, xox :)

[@LEFEMMEBELLE]

Wow! interesting Colleen. I've tried a ton of different cleaning methods that work but I'll have to try this one. I want to be all sparkly for Thanksgiving. My diamond studs really get filmy from hair products I spray. Happy Thanksgiving! Luv, Susie

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Susie, Hope you're sparkling for Thanksgiving and have a wonderful day! Hugs, xo :)

[@beberett]

HI COCO, THANKS FOR SHARING THIS, BECAUSE IT WILL COME IN HANDY FOR ALOT OF US, HAVE A BLESSED DAY XOXO, LORETTE

[@MsCavalier01]

COCO? lol Is that my new nickname? So cute! This stuff really makes your jewelry sparkle and it's all stuff we all have in the house. Have a great afternoon! Hugs, Colleen xox :)

[@beberett]

YES ITIS WHAT I CALL YOU XO, LORETTE

[@Jo.lawler]

Thanks Colleen this is great. Does the alfoil and bi carb have some sort of reaction like those white lightening jewelry cleaners? Do you know the ones I mean, like a thin flat piece of aluminium? Mine is hard to use because the only thing it fits inside is a big rectangular bucket. xoxo

[@MsCavalier01]

I don't know if it's a chemical reaction or what, but my ring hasn't sparkled like this in years. lol It was probably the electric tooth brush that did it. lol

[@Jo.lawler]

MsCavalier01 Well whatever it is I've put it in my favourites list and I have an electric toothbrush with some old brushes that I keep for cleaning around the bottom of the taps xoxo

[@kimora0909]

Absolutely Beautiful Ring and I just tried it on mines and it works 👏🏾

[@MsCavalier01]

Thank you, Khalilah! Beautiful name! I'm glad this worked for you! Thanks for watching! Hope you're having a great weekend! :-) Colleen xo

[@CeeJaylovesmakeup]

I am definitely going to give this a try! Thanks Colleen!

[@MsCavalier01]

It works really good CeeJay!I don't know what the tin foil has to do with it, but I haven't seen my ring look this clean in a long time.

[@sadformichael]

Hi colleen! Thanks for the good tip - love your beautiful ring! Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday with your family and stay warm and cozy - this weather is ridiculous not that it is as cold as where you are but cloudy and rainy more than a week UGGG!! anyway i guess it is nice and cozy for the holidays - will try to think of it that way LOL! Take good care and see you in your next video! xoxo xoxo Penny

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Penny, Thank you for your kind words my sweet friend! I hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful as well. It's 3:48 a.m. on Wednesday morning and I just got up to let the dogs out and there's about an inch of snow on the ground. It's pretty and the dogs love rolling in it, but boy is it cold. I'm just about to make some coffee and maybe make a little chit-chat video while the house is still quiet. Have a great day! Lots of love, Colleen xox :)

[@KT-su3qk]

Baking soda can be damaging to stones, the best way is using a ammonia base.

[@catmama54]

Wow great idea on how to clean jewelry,now all I need is the jewelry.lol I have Joy Mangano sonic jewelry cleaner I got from HSN and it works pretty good but when I run out of her solution I could just use this.If you don't make any other videos this week hope you have a very happy Thanksgiving.Looking forward to stuffing myself.lol xoCathy

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Cathy, Let me know how this works with the JM Sonic cleaner. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I love the stuffing, too! lol Hugs, Colleen xox :)

[@ohcarolshow]

Good job Coll!! xoxo CAROL

[@MsCavalier01]

Thanks Carol! Have a Happy Thanksgiving! Big Hugs, xox :)

[@msflipflops]

I will have to try this...thanks for sharing. xo Carolyn

[@MsCavalier01]

Thanks Carolyn! Let me know how yours comes out. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hugs, xox :)

[@CarolineHooks]

Yes! Thank you! I’m excited to try this!

[@PrettyMeanGumbo]

Thanks,Colleen! Hope you are having a great Turkey Day!

[@MsSam66ok]

Ohhh. I am going to try this right now!

[@MsCavalier01]

I couldn't believe it. My ring hasn't sparkled like this in years. Let me know how yours come out! Hugs, xox :)

[@FoolyLiving]

I definitely need this. They don't sell Dawn here, but any dishsoap will work though? I know the blue Dawn is the best. Gonna give this a shot. Your ring is just gorgeous! Thanks a lot! =D

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Andrea, Any kind of dish soap should work for this! Let me know how your jewelry comes out. Hugs, Colleen xox :)

[@TaerMeUp]

I just tried this and my silver looks amazing.

[@MsCavalier01]

+teresia lashley Thanks! So glad you liked it! :-)

[@IrisWatts21]

Can you put gem stones in it? Amethyst, Citrine, Peridot, Ruby, Blue Topaz, erc.

[@ellenbartsch4105]

I guess I'll have to use this as a scrub while the rings remain on my hands. My fingers swell so much. I don't think it will be too drying will it?

[@MsCavalier01]

Be really careful Ellen, because that water will be hot after having it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Just dip the toothbrush into the solution and scrub it good but make sure you get all the solution off because it could cause a detergent burn. I don't know if it will work as good without letting it sit on the tin foil. Let me know! Have a wonderful thanksgiving! Hugs, Colleen xox :)

[@dlfields7444]

Beautiful Ring!!!

[@susanmoore369]

Just wondering if the foil has a purpose? Does it react with the solution to work? I am going to try this because my rings could use a real good cleaning. Thanks

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Susan! I wondered the same thing, but I don't know the answer to that question. Maybe it's a chemical reaction with the foil. Sorry, I really don't know. It works beautifully though. Thanks for watching!! Hugs, Colleen :-)

[@angelbabesuz1612]

I really must try this, my jewellery badly needs a clean lol :) ~~~Susan xox

[@MsCavalier01]

It works really good, and you're jewelry sparkles afterward! Hugs, xox :)

[@angelbabesuz1612]

great, will let you know when I try it :) ~~~ hugs, Susan xox

[@Lara-EL]

What's the foil for? Does it activate the other ingredients?

[@83pavs]

Easy enough :). Thanks for sharing! xoxo~Peggy

[@MsCavalier01]

You're welcome! Hugs, xox :)

[@makeupwithasong]

GREAT IDEA...THANKS FOR SHARING....YOU CAN ALSO USE THIS ON COSTUME JEWELRY.....IT WORKS GREAT....LOVE YA XO

[@MsCavalier01]

It didn't say whether you can use it on costume jewelry, so test it on something you don't really care about first. Let me knowHugs, xox ;)

[@Purr0066]

Oh what an awesome idea! I need to try this! I wonder if it will work on the pandora beads?

[@MsCavalier01]

Thanks Brenda, I still can't believe how much it made my ring sparkle. It gets all the crud out from under the stones that accumulates. I imagine it would work on any kind of jewelry. Hugs, xox :)

[@ruthbaldwin9263]

This works very well on silver, and not only on jewellery. I have used this method on various items such as a small silver trophy which I had to unscrew from its base because I didn't know how that part would react to the solution. There is indeed a chemical reaction from the salt and baking soda with the aluminium foil. For less flat, rounded items, I had to turn the piece over from time to time so that all sides had had contact with the foil. Some large pieces need more than one immersion and the solution (and foil) may be have to be replaced with fresh. I've not tried this with costume jewellery; does anyone know if this would harm a 1960s pendant and chain of great sentimental value that is definitely not of any precious metal?

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Ruth! I haven't tried this on costume jewelry, so if it's a sentimental piece you may just want to use a jewelry cleaning cloth!

[@ruthbaldwin9263]

Thank you, I don't have one of those as yet but I think that would be best; I don't want to spoil the finish. I brushed the pendan t carefully with a soft toothbrush and then a soft tissue and the pendant looks brighter, but the chain is still dull so I'll spend some time on that too. Next stop ebay for a jewellery cleaning cloth!

[@JaniceSimpler]

Do this all the time! Works great!

[@MsCavalier01]

I had never heard of it before but it does work great! Have a great thanksgiving Janice! Hugs, Colleen xox :)

[@julial3758]

What metal is your ring setting and is it diamond or another stone type ?

[@sprintworld2891]

Does it work for state rings as well you think, and class rings?

[@MsCavalier01]

I think it works for all rings.

[@Nightmoonglow]

Neat :) Your ring is beautiful. Wishing you and your family a fab Thanksgiving! ~xo chris

[@MsCavalier01]

Thanks Chris! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hugs, xox :)

[@Amanda-wt6tz]

Do you have to use dawn or will any liquid dish soap work?

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Amanda! I'm not sure. I know Dawn is supposed to disolve grease, so maybe it's stronger than the others. It worked great on my ring and it was pretty dirty. lol

[@truckersmiley4280]

The best is Windex and pure white alcohol with a little bit of water

[@abbsolute5758]

Nice, big difference

[@mysonruns]

I'll have to try this! I wonder how it would work on Diamonique? gotta a lot of rings.

[@MsCavalier01]

I bet it would work great! Let me know if you try it on yours. I have some too so I should have just soaked everything at once. lol Hugs, xox ;)

[@adasollystyling]

Thanks I will be trying this.

[@MsCavalier01]

Thanks Ada, I couldn't believe all the dirt that was stuck in my ring that came out on to the tin foil. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Hugs, xox :)

[@merlottime1794]

Wonderful!

[@ctrygrl3]

This worked perfectly! Thanks!!

[@MsCavalier01]

Thank you so much for stopping by! I'm so glad this worked for you! Have a great week! :-)

[@monicamalik2650]

Will it work without baking soda

[@MsCavalier01]

I don't know, Monica. I've never tried it without it. Have a great weekend! xo :-)

[@bettynovosel1180]

E

[@shylockbelchez3235]

What about necklace?

[@VincenzoCrawford]

what if you dont have dawn?

[@MsCavalier01]

***** I don't know! lol I use Dawn because it's a good degreaser and it gets all the oils and gunk out of your jewelery and makes them really sparkle. :-) Any strong dish soap would probably due.

[@VincenzoCrawford]

:) figured ... thanks

[@carradoll64]

Happy Thanksgiving to you,and your family, have a great day :-)

[@MsCavalier01]

Thank you and you as well! xo :)

[@MystLily]

[@suzyclancy5754]

We wise women know all the tricks - I remember years ago, they were trying to sell magic kits and I told everyone that they had just done this and bottled it and the aluminum foil was also wrapped - they duped tons of people hahahahahaha- even better now with electric toothbrushes xoxoxoxoxoxoxSuzy

[@MsCavalier01]

Hi Suzy, I don't know why it works, but this works. lol Was probably the electric toothbrush that got it so clean. lol Have a great night! Hugs, xox :)

[@suzyclancy5754]

MsCavalier01 think it's the aluminum foil that holds the secret lol xxxxSuzy

[@ayannab1819]

Guys you can just use mr.clean the green one

[@robertlondon3125]

Ayanna Balborda as a professional jeweler we use an ultrasonic but Mr clean is the best solution we have used, my dad has been in the businessfor 35 years and Mr clean is a must! however we prefer the original yellow Mr clean

[@MsCavalier01]

Thanks! That's good to know.

[@robertlondon3125]

The best information I can give is that anything that is abrasive such as toothpaste ECT is not good it's not terrible like bleach though. Bleach will absolutely ruin gold jewelry. It will eat away at the alloys in the metal. You will be left with a piece of work that is crummy, and any respectable jeweler will tell you when your dealing with that. We advise all of our customers to keep away from bleach/Chlorine...swimming pools and household cleaning are the most common causes of effected gold.

[@MsCavalier01]

I never knew that about the bleach. Wow! How can you get white gold pieces to look bright again? Thanks for all the good information.

I clean mine with baking soda and lime.

i just cleaned it with soap and wter

[@sherickaximines8790]

Best thing you have done..the baking soda not good for the ring neither the warm water

[@brennak2053]

I ended up with a boiling hit chemical reaction before I even poured the solution. Anyone else?

[@phyllismontoroula6454]

I use dish soap or toothpaste clean my costume chain My boyfriend gave a pendant with a horse I wear it all the time even in bed but not in the shower
