Spring is here, and people around the country are beginning to clean out their homes and remove clutter. In addition to the closets and attic, don’t forget to attend to your jewelry box as well. Here, the team at Klass Jewelers in Florence, KY, offers their top three tips for spring cleaning this often-overlooked item.

Everything You Need to Know About Spring Cleaning a Jewelry Box

1. Sell What You Don’t Want

Over time, your jewelry box may accumulate more and more rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. As a result, it can become incredibly cluttered. If this sounds like your situation, consider selling the pieces you haven’t worn in the last year or simply no longer want. Have them appraised by a professional at a jewelry store and sell them for quick cash.

2. Clean Dirty Pieces

Make sure what you’re keeping is free from damage and sparkling so it looks its best when you wear it. To clean and revitalize your diamonds, apply a commercial cleaner or a mild detergent. Gold should be rubbed with a soft chamois cloth. Wipe your gemstones with a soft and slightly damp cloth to enhance their luster. 

3. Repair Broken Items

Throughout the cleaning process, you may find a few older pieces are broken. Fortunately, there’s no need to throw them out. Instead, have these repaired by a professional. An expert can bring your jewelry back to life, fixing any worn settings or loose stones so you can show off your favorite pieces once again.
