CLEANING JEWELLERY.
Jewellery with claw settings needs particular and regular attention, and these eihould be kept free from dust by the frequent use of a flue camel-hair brush. The plain portions of gold and eilver jewels should be cleaned with jeweller’s rouge, and on no account should a coarse gritty powder be used. Particular care is needed when cleaning pearls. Peal pearl*; should be treated with salt water in order to remove the greasy face film. Polishing should be done with a piece of velvet. Imitation pearls should be rubbed with thin paper to remove the grease film, and afterwards polished with velvet. It should be remembered that pearls keep better if frequently worn, as the lustre and colour is quickly lost when kept stored.
