Keeping the wholesale jewelry pieces you buy sparkling makes them more valuable in the eyes of your customers.  Everything from fingerprints, to skin oils, dust, and tarnish, blur the beauty of jewelry and keep it from shinning with a high quality appearance.

If you want to increase your sales and charge high prices, keep your jewelry clean.  The sparkles that clean jewelry produce are the reason why it is sold so successfully, so you, as a jewelry home business owner, must work to keep your pieces clean and free of tarnish.

You can even give added value to your customers by offering to clean their other jewelry pieces. This will help you create a good relationship with them because they will feel nurtured and you will establish yourself as an expert in the field.

Nevertheless, you have to be very careful when cleaning jewelry.  First, you must make sure the piece is in good condition, no lose stones or weak parts, and never use abrasives or bleach, which will damage the silver and the stones.  Discard toothpaste, scouring powder, baking soda, and creamy opaque jewelry cleaners.

When using a toothbrush, use a new one, and use it only to clean jewelry.

If you are thinking about seriously offering the jewelry cleaning service to your customers, you may want to be safe and make your own jewelry cleaner.

Here we give you a recipe that has worked wonders; you can use it for your business and even give it to your customers as an added value gift. Just print the recipe on a small card and include it in the shopping bag with every purchase:

Mix together:

-2 tablespoons of liquid hand soap

-1 cup of water

-½ a teaspoon of ammonia

Add a drop of food coloring if you want to make it look like a brand cleaner.  Store it in a clean glass jar, where it can last a year or more.  This cleaner can be used on gold, silver, and costume jewelry, but not on opal or other porous stones.

How to apply it:

-Soak the jewelry piece in the cleaner for a moment and rinse it with water.

-Pat dry it with a soft cloth.
