Note: If in doubt about cleaning your jewellery seek advice from an expert brighton jeweller.
When jewellery is put on, it becomes coated in an oily film which is mainly made up of dead skin, dust and grit. A greasy film will even start to coat the backs of gemstones and inside settings if you put on jewellery when washing up, so the main objective of cleaning jewellery is to remove all this greasy debris.
Here are a few hints and easy methods to clean different types of jewellery:
Gold Jewellery: You may use an old toothbrush with some warm water and soap to clean your gold jewellery.
Gold Alloys: High carat alloys such as 18 carat and above, will not usually become faded, and will not be harmed by household chemical compounds. However, lower carat gold could be harmed by contact with chlorine based bleach and cleaning chemicals. Chlorine can cause stress corrosion cracking in lower gold alloys of 14 carat and below, though it will be worse if the jewellery contains porosity through less than perfect manufacturing treatment options. Because of this it is advisable to avoid cleaning your jewellery with chlorine bleach or other cleaners containing chlorine, and to avoid wearing it when in contact with bleach.
Diamonds: Unless you rub two of your diamonds together, it will be pretty difficult to scratch or harm them. Hence, as with gold jewellery the good old toothbrush and warm water and soap will do. One word of warning is that if you use a cloth, sometimes the synthetic thread might bend the claws which hold the stones and may loosen them.
Silver: When cleaning silver jewellery, Silver tarnishes easily therefore solutions like Goddard's Silver Dip can be utilized and the tarnish will come off quickly.
Platinum: Platinum is highly resistant to tarnishing such as high carat gold alloys and so can be cleaned utilizing chemical substances.
It is always advisable to pop down to any nearby jewellers in brighton and look for professional advice if you are not sure whether your cleaning method will damage your jewellery.

Embroidery is the art or handicraft of decorating fabric or other materials with needle and thread or yarn. Embroidery may also incorporate other materials such as metal strips, pearls, beads, quills, and sequins
A characteristic of embroidery is that the basic techniques or stitches of the earliest work'"chain stitch, buttonhole or blanket stitch, running stitch, satin stitch, cross stitch'"remain the fundamental techniques of hand embroidery today.
Machine embroidery, arising in the early stages of the Industrial Revolution, mimics hand embroidery, especially in the use of chain stitches, but the "satin stitch" and hemming stitches of machine work rely on the use of multiple threads and resemble hand work in their appearance, not their construction.
