[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 2052666, member: 85"]They appear to be 1960ish costume. I don't think gold would turn [ATTACH=full]249307[/ATTACH] Me personally, I wash everything. Others here are adamant about not getting costume stones wet. My method Spritz with 50-50 ammonia and water. Swish quickly in soapy water. I prefer Dawn original dish liquid. Rinse thoroughly, pat dry and leave on towel to air dry further. Do not use hot water, use luke warm. Do not let sit in water for any length of time. Wait for other advice before choosing to do this. As I said many do not like getting glass costume jewelry wet. Oh and if you are not familiar with ammonia you need good ventilation.[/QUOTE]
