With soap and water
How to clean a steel jewel with soap and water? Simple: get two basins full of hot water of a suitable size to contain it: in one of them add a few drops of neutral dish soap, then moisten the corner of a microfiber cloth and rub the jewel, following the texture of the metal.
If your jewel is very dirty, gently use a toothbrush with soft bristles, or a toothpick in the most difficult points to reach, avoiding rubbing the gems, if any.
Once this operation is over, rinse the jewel in the second bowl, removing any soap residue.
Then dry it carefully with a cloth and voila, you’re done.
To keep your steel jewelry clean and intact for longer, try to avoid contact with creams, perfumes, cosmetics and, when not wearing them, put them one by one in cloth bags.

Will stainless steel be ruined by water?

Does stainless steel turn black?
Stainless steel is known for its resistance to corrosion and should not turn black from water, household products, seawater, cosmetics, sweat, and other daily chemical aggressions. In addition, stainless steel is harder than silver and resists scratches. If steel jewelry turns black, it may be because of the formation of an oxide coating that can be removed to restore the jewelry to its original shine.
