What is a good jewerly cleaner for white gold diamond earrings?
I have cleaner for sterling silver jewerly and cleaner for gold jewerly. The gold cleaner says okay to use on diamonds, but it doesn’t say anything about using it for white gold. Is there a special cleaner for white gold?
You should not put white gold into silver cleaner for two reasons: the first and main reason is that white gold is rhodium plated, which reacts badly to silver dip, secondly the gold is alloyed and you will not be able to tell if it is alloyed with a metal that reacts badly with silver dip until it is too late.
The best thing to do is to use warm water and a really mild soap like washing up liquid, soak the earrings for a few minutes and use a soft brush like a kids toothbrush or a makeup brush to loosen the rest of the dirt. Dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth and use a silver cloth for a final polish.
Be careful if they are in a four claw or a delicate setting as sometimes dirt holds the stones in place!

No special cleaner for white gold. My wife uses ammonia and warm water. Much cheaper than the store bought stuff. We use it on her diamonds both blue and white, tanzinite, and other stones.

I really enjoyed this post. You explain this topic very well. Natural gemstones are found in nature. Laboratory-created stones, as the name implies, are made in a laboratory. These stones, which also are referred to as laboratory-grown, manufacturer-created, or synthetic, have essentially the same chemical, physical, optical, and visual properties as natural gemstones. By contrast, imitation stones look like natural stones in appearance only, and may be a manmade or natural stones. Gemstones may be measured by weight, size, or both. Carats are divided into 100 units, called points. When gemstones are measured by dimensions, the size is expressed in millimeters (for example, 7×5 millimeters). Gemstone treatments or enhancements refer to the way some gems are treated to improve their appearance or durability, or even change their color. Many gemstones are treated in some way. The effects of some treatments may lessen or change over time and some treated stones may require special care. Treatments and/or enhancements should always be disclosed by the seller.
