When it comes to cleaning vintage jewelry, a little knowledge goes a long way. Whether you’re maintaining your personal collection, including delicate couture jewelry or ornate Heidi Daus jewelry , or preparing heirlooms for an estate sale, knowing how to clean antique pieces without damaging them is crucial. Harsh chemicals or improper methods can reduce both the beauty and the value of vintage items—something no collector or seller wants.

Platinum is enjoying a powerful rally in 2025, recently topping $1,330 per ounce — a 10-year high and a 44% gain since the start of the year. The price surge has been fueled by rising industrial demand, supply constraints and renewed investor interest. Despite this momentum, platinum still trades at less than half the price of gold, which is currently valued at $3,335 per ounce.
