StylePrer suggests, Not just Temple Jewelry but as a thumb rule avoid cleaning any jewelry in the sink. If the jewelry is in gold or other gem studded precious metal, opt to clean it in a bowl so if there are any loose stones, gems or diamonds, they will fall in the bowl and not down the drain. Soak your jewelry for a few seconds and very lightly scrub it with a soft toothbrush and soapy water. Once done, you could place the jewelry in a sieve and run water over it or dip it in a bowl full of clean water to let go off the soap. Pat dry immediately with a soft cloth. And there its sparkling like a new one!
