Jewelry, whether a family heirloom, a cherished gift, or a special purchase, holds both sentimental and monetary value. Over time, however, our favorite pieces can lose their luster, becoming tarnished, dirty, or just plain dull. Regular cleaning can be a hassle, especially with intricate designs, delicate stones, or multiple pieces.
But what if I told you there’s a way to clean your jewelry with almost zero effort? My grandma, who had a treasure trove of sparkling jewels, shared this simple, effective trick with me, and I’ve been using it ever since. Here’s how it works.
