It is relatively easy to clean your colored stone jewelry, but it is important to be careful when cleaning gemstones. Most gemstones you can simply soak the jewelry in a bowl of warm water and mild soap for several minutes. Then use a soft, non-metallic brush to remove any grime.

If you use jewelry cleaner make sure it is non-abrasive. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, and don’t leave them soaking for very long. Keep in mind that some gemstones have been enhanced or treated with heating, oiling, irradiation, or diffusion and require special care. Americus Diamond suggests that you do not clean your emeralds, opals, or tanzanite yourself. They are soft stones and need extra care when cleaning.
