Use these simple, basic guidelines for the care and cleaning of your fine jewelry: 

Store your jewelry in a clean, dry place. Keep your jewelry in a fabric-lined jewelry case or a box with compartments and dividers. If you prefer to use ordinary boxes, wrap each piece individually in soft tissue paper. Don't mix your jewelry pieces in a drawer or jewelry case. Pieces can scratch each other. Be careful when removing your jewelry to wash your hands. Do not leave your jewelry on the rim of a sink where it can easily slip down the drain. There are many types of small machines on the market that will clean jewelry in a matter of minutes using high-frequency sound. These machines are called ultrasonic cleaners and are available in many different models and prices. If your jewelry is made from wood, avoid any and all forms of water. Wood can swell, in turn to the point of breaking the wood or popping the stones and ashes. 

If your jewelry has dulled, it most likely means a harsh chemical has come into contact with it.
