Rinse each piece in warm running water

A good rinsing will help remove lingering dirt thats been loosened by the action of your brush. Again, make sure the water isnt hot , especially if your jewelry contains fragile stones. If youre rinsing your jewelry in a sink, plug or cover the drain so that you dont accidentally lose your jewelry if it slips out of your hands. Alternatively, rinse your jewelry in a pasta strainer or metal coffee filter.
