- Warm water
Tools
- Small glass jar

Instructions
1. Drop one cleansing tablet into a small dish filled 3/4 full with warm water. Add the jewelry and let sit for 20-30 minutes. Once the tablet starts to effervesce, the water will turn blue and start to foam.

2. Remove the jewelry from the dish, rinse under warm water. If the diamond is in an intricate setting you can use a toothbrush to clean around hard-to-reach spots.

This cleaning method is great for most stones, though you should avoid using it on Emerald, Turquoise, Lapis, and pearls.
