The
metal tungsten, combined with carbon
atoms, form tungsten carbide, one of the strongest metals on earth – much
stronger than gold and platinum. While tungsten has always been known for its durability,
most recently it is also known for its stunning appearance in jewelry. If you
have acquired tungsten jewelry, you will need to take good care of it, just as
you would the more costly metals. The following is a guide to cleaning your
tungsten jewelry.

Dilute Vinegar in a Cup or
Bowl: Half water, half vinegar. Carefully place your tungsten jewelry in the
solution and let it soak for 30 minutes or so.
Be sure it is completely covered with the vinegar and water mixture. After 30 minutes,
carefully swish it around in the bowl, remove it and rinse. Check to see if
there is any built-up dirt left, and if there is brush it gently with a soft
toothbrush until clean. Rinse again and dry with a soft absorbent towel.

Or
if you prefer, you can buy jewelry cleaner from a local store or online. The
vinegar solution won’t cost as much though, and I’ve found that it works every
bit as well.
