Spring Jewel Cleaning

Every season I like to clean the jewels (term used très loosly) until they sparkle.

I polish all the sterling pieces to within an inch of their lives...

And, gently wash all the gold with warm water, general kitchen soap and a soft brush.

It's unbelievable how filthy everything becomes between cleanings especially watches.

A few very tense moments as le commandant carefully inspects each finished piece...


And, it looks as though the watch is being pulled from the lineup for not passing the white glove inspection.

  1. Perhaps, due to the longer days, more light, it is then that we take note of tarnish and bring on the polish to
    bring out the sparkle.
    You could have another blog devoted to anal allie.
    lol.
