i have 2 amber in silver necklaces what is the best way to clean them as the amber has become dull?

Answer 1

I am glad you brought this up. I have amber, but I have never done more than wipe it with a clean cloth. So now I know, too.

How to Clean:

Clean VERY gently with a mixture of mild liquid soap and cool water. Do not rub or scrub as the motion will scratch the Amber. Rinse quickly with clean, cool water. Dry with a soft, clean, absorbent cloth.Air dry on a towel to ensure complete dryness. If mounted, clean metal with soft polishing cloth, and avoid contact with the Amber.

Special Care:

Do not use hot water, a steamer or an ultrasonic cleaner when cleaning Amber or Amber jewelry. Do not soak in water. Do not hold under a stream of water for extended periods of time. Do not expose to extreme heat. Do not expose to scratchy surfaces or harsh chemicals such as Jewelry Cleaners which are not specifically for Amber.
