Use the Razzle Dazzle® Brush to clean in between the links and grooves. Rinse with water and buff dry with a cotton paper towel (we recommend Bounty or Viva). This process may need to be repeated two or three times until all dirt is cleaned away. We recommend cleaning watches once a month to maintain a brilliant shine.

PRECIOUS METALS

GOLD & WHITE GOLD

About Gold:  Gold jewelry is universally stamped and identified with a number followed by a “k” which stands for karat. 9k, 10k, 12k, 14k, 18k, and 22k gold are commonly used in jewelry. The higher the number, the higher the actual gold content. 24k is pure gold, and like fine silver, is quite soft. Many people consider 14k gold to be the lowest gold content that should be used in fine gold jewelry. Higher karat gold, such as 18k and 22k, tend to have a richer gold color than lower karat alloys. They are also more expensive due to the higher actual gold content. Gold is available in several different colors. The most popular is yellow gold, followed by white gold and rose gold, though other gold colors are available such as bronze gold, red gold and lime gold. As the color difference is due to the metal components in the alloy mix, the color of yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and lime gold will not chip, fade or wear off with age.

Cleaning Gold:  To clean gold, spray Razzle Dazzle® liberally on to the surface. Next, use the Razzle Dazzle® Brush to clean inside the grooves and crevices. Rinse with water and buff dry with a cotton towel (we recommend Bounty or Viva). The more you buff with a cotton towel, the more the luster will be revealed. Note:  Razzle Dazzle® is safe to use on all jewelry that has black etching such as class rings. Razzle Dazzle® will not remove this etching. Enjoy!

Surface Scratches:  To remove surface scratches from gold jewelry, especially weddings rings and wedding bands, we recommend using the Razzle Dazzle® Miracle Cloth first. Verify that your jewelry has been stamped or has the gold marking. Next, buff using the Miracle Cloth, then buff with a cotton towel (we recommend Viva or Bounty). Finally, spray Razzle Dazzle® liberally on to the surface, and brush inside all the grooves and crevices. Rinse with water and buff dry with a cotton towel (we recommend Bounty or Viva).

SILVER & STERLING SILVER

  • About Silver and Sterling Silver:  Sterling Silver is a white-grey colored softer metal which is less expensive than gold, platinum and titanium. It is popular for making jewelry, consisting of 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% other metals. Sterling Silver is universally recognized by a marking or a stamp of 925. Silver is more prone to oxidation, sometimes causing the silver to turn black. Silver jewelry can easily be made to look like new again.

  • Cleaning Silver:  First, if the item you are cleaning is heavily tarnished or oxidized we recommend using the Razzle Dazzle® Miracle Cloth first. Buff with the Miracle Cloth until the tarnish has disappeared. The Miracle Cloth will become black in color. Note that the cloth continues to work even though it is black and can be used over and over again. Next, buff with a cotton paper towel (we recommend Bounty or Viva). Then spray Razzle Dazzle® liberally on to the surface to remove any residue. Brush, rinse with water and buff dry with a cotton paper towel.

  • Important Note:  If the item you are cleaning is not severely tarnished, spray Razzle Dazzle® liberally on to the surface. Next use a brush, we recommend our 4” brush sold separately, also included in our jewelry cleaning bath. This brush is small and effective for cleaning around and underneath stones, and inside the grooves and crevices of the jewelry. Rinse with water and buff dry with a cotton cloth or paper towel. The more you buff with a cotton towel, the more the luster you will have.

  • Special Note:  Of special note to Silver, Razzle Dazzle® hinders the oxidation process. Razzle Dazzle® is safe to use on all jewelry that has black etching such as class rings. Razzle Dazzle® will not remove this etching.

GOLD FILLED & VERMEIL

About Gold Filled & Vermail:  These two metals are not primarily Gold, but incorporate some Gold and look like Gold. Gold Filled is created by bonding a thin layer of Gold to a Brass core. Vermeil is Gold Plated Sterling Silver. There are significant differences between the two. Gold Filled metal is primarily Brass; the layer of Gold must equal 1/20th of the total weight of the metal. Gold Plated metal, such as Vermeil, on the other hand, can be a microscopic layer of actual Gold, 24K over the Silver.

Cleaning Gold Filled & Vermeil:  Spray Razzle Dazzle® liberally onto the surface of the jewelry. Next, use the Razzle Dazzle® brush to clean around and underneath the stones (this is where the light is refracted from). Be sure to get inside all the grooves and crevices.

Some people believe that copper jewelry has health benefits, such as aiding people with arthritis pain, while others wear it for its rich, warm color. If the copper jewelry or decorative items have not been coated with something to prevent oxidation, it will need to be cleaned and/or polished frequently in order to keep it from turning green or black.

Rhodium is very white and very hard, but it does wear away eventually. To keep a white gold and platinum rings looking their best they should be re-rhodium plated approximately every 12 to 18 months.

SEMI-PRECIOUS POROUS STONES

PEARLS

About Pearls:  Valuable Pearls occur in the wild, but they are very rare. Cultured or farmed Pearls from pearl oysters make up the majority of those that are currently sold. A cultured pearl is one that has been formed with human intervention on a pearl farm. An irritating microscopic object is inserted and becomes trapped within the mollusk's mantle folds. The mantle of the mollusk then deposits layers of ‘nacre’ around the inserted bead. The unique luster of Pearls depends upon the reflection, refraction, and diffraction of light from the translucent layers. The thinner and more numerous the layers in the Pearl, the finer the luster. The iridescence that Pearls display is caused by the overlapping of successive layers, which breaks up light falling on the surface. In addition, Pearls (especially cultured freshwater pearls) can be dyed yellow, green, blue, brown, pink, purple, or black.

Cleaning Pearls:  Spray Razzle Dazzle® onto the pearl, and gently rub the surface with your fingers. Rinse with water and buff dry with a cotton cloth or cotton paper towel (we recommend Bounty or Viva). This simple process will remove any build up of hairspray, perfume and makeup, which dull the pearl. When cleaning a strand of pearls follow the same instructions and lay flat to dry. Laying flat to dry will help tighten the silk cord they are strung on, rather than hanging to dry, which may stretch the silk cord. Enjoy!

Special Note:  Do not soak pearls as they are porous stones. If left to soak, porous stones will absorb liquid, which can ultimately dull or damage them.

TOURMALINE

About Tourmaline:  Tourmalines are gems with an incomparable variety of colors. The reason, according to an old Egyptian legend, is that the tourmaline, on its long journey up from the center of the Earth, passed over a rainbow. In doing so, it assumed all the colors of the rainbow.

Cleaning Tourmaline:  Spray Razzle Dazzle® liberally on to the surface of the Tourmalines. Next, use the Razzle Dazzle® Brush to clean around and underneath the Tourmalines. Clean the setting, brushing inside the grooves and crevices. Rinse with water and buff dry with a cotton towel (we recommend Bounty or Viva). Enjoy!
