Try agitating it gently in a solution of 1 pint of water, with one ounce of household ammonia and a tablespoon of dishwashing detergent. If it seems to be working, change the solution as it gets dirty and continue until you see no improvement. Rub stubborn spots with a q-tip soaked in the solution. When finished, rinse thoroughly in clear, warm water.

If that does not work, you can purchase commercial cleaning solutions at drugstores or a jewelry store.

IMPORTANT! Do not use this mixture with pearls, opals or turquoise. They should be cleaned by a professional.
