Keep Calm and Sparkle On: How to Clean Your Aquamarine Jewelry

Did you know that the March birthstone aquamarine is known to cool the temper, allowing the wearer to achieve calm and serenity? What a perfect gemstone for these turbulent times! Just the name “aquamarine” makes me relax; the cool blue-green color conjures up tropical islands and David Hockney-esque swimming pools. To help keep your aquamarines looking their sparkling best, let’s explore how to clean aquamarine jewelry. I consulted with the experts at Connoisseurs…they always have great advice for the jewelry obsessed!

Dazzle Drops: Fresh Solution Every Time

Whether your aquamarine jewelry is set in platinum, gold or silver, Connoisseurs recommends Dazzle Drops Advanced Jewelry Cleaner. It’s their non-toxic jewelry cleaner that makes fresh solution every time for the most effective cleaning. Here’s how to use it:

1. Fill the cleansing container three-quarters full with warm water and drop 10 drops of the Advanced cleansing solution in the water.
2. Next, submerge your aquamarine jewelry in the jar of jewelry cleaner for a few minutes.
3. Remove the jewelry using the strainer and brush it gently using the specialized cleaning brush. Make sure you use the brush to clean under the stones and in between prongs.
4. Rinse your jewelry with warm water and dry with a lint-cloth. Discard the used liquid. Your jewelry will dazzle like the day you bought it!
