I have jewerly cleaner for sterling silver jewerly and cleaner for gold. The gold-cleaner says okay to use on diamonds, but it says nothing about using it for white gold. Is there a special cleaner for white gold? Best Answer to What is a good jewerly cleaner for white gold diamond earrings?

No special cleaners for white gold. My wife uses ammonia and warm water. Much cheaper than the store bought stuff. We use it for both their blue and white diamonds, dancing inite and other stones.

shaving foam works a treat
You should not put white gold into silver cleaner for two reasons: the first and main reason is that white gold is rhodium plated, which reacts badly to silver dip, secondly the gold is alloyed and you will not be able to tell if it is alloyed with a metal that reacts badly with silver dip until it is too late.
The best thing to do is to use warm water and a really mild soap like washing up liquid, soak the earrings for a few minutes and use a soft brush like a kids toothbrush or a makeup brush to loosen the rest of the dirt. Dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth and use a silver cloth for a final polish.
Be careful if they are in a four claw or a delicate setting as sometimes dirt holds the stones in place!
Clean with simple toothpaste and warm water.
