Hootie too would probably have some ideas. That's been her area for a long time.

I use tooth paste, a very soft tooth brush and a very soft hand for a lot of my jewelry. Makes diamonds sparkle!

I found this for tanzanites

Soak in lukewarm soapy water using a mild liquid detergent. Rinse with water that is the same temperature and dry with a paper towel or soft cloth. You can also use window cleaner. Wipe immediately after spraying.
Avoid exposing your stone to sudden changes of temperature. This includes hot tubs, very cold water, and reaching into ovens and then going straight to a cold sink.
Do not wear when doing any type of physical labor. e.g. gardening.
Always store in soft cloth away from other articles of jewelry.
Occasionally tap the ring next to your ear to listen for any rattling noises indicating a loose stone.
