The Old Jewish Way · Volume V
Clean It Right
Safe ways to make jewelry shine — and what never to clean at home
Most jewelry needs nothing clever to shine again. This volume shows the gentle bath that suits most pieces, when ammonia, dips and the foil bath are safe for silver and gold, which stones ultrasonic and steam cleaners can crack, how to care for pearls, opals, emeralds and costume jewelry — and the pieces that should only ever be cleaned by a professional. The tricks from the videos are each checked against the sources.

Questions
Before you open the book
What format are the books in?+
Each book comes as a PDF and an EPUB. On a phone, tablet or Kindle the EPUB lets you make the text as large as you like; the PDF prints cleanly to keep in the kitchen drawer.
How do I receive my book?+
Right after checkout you get an instant download link on screen and by email. No account, no subscription, no waiting for the mail.
Is checkout secure?+
Payments are processed by Gumroad, a trusted checkout used by millions of creators. You can pay with a card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay. We never see your card details.
Are the facts in the books checked?+
Yes. Every volume lists its sources — US law and FTC rules, GIA, the London Assay Office, museum collections and auction records. Where experts disagree, the book says so. Prices are shown with their date, because values change.
Do I need special tools?+
A magnifying loupe and a small kitchen scale cover most of Vol. I. Every home test is explained with what it can and cannot prove — and when to let a jeweler do it instead.
Is this a professional appraisal?+
No. The books teach you to understand what you own and to ask the right questions. For insurance, taxes or a major sale, use a credentialed appraiser — Vol. II explains how to choose one.
What if the book isn’t for me?+
Then you shouldn’t pay for it. Every book carries our Golden Guarantee: write to us within the guarantee period and we refund you in full, no questions asked.
What is The Jeweler’s Vault?+
All three volumes together, at a lower price than buying them one by one.
