Amethyst Pendants

In the spirit of the Irish and everyone's favorite green holiday, resourceful party-goers have found an interesting use for their leftover flat beer. Apparently all beers (aside from dark ales) have an amazing ability to polish gold. There are several alleged methods to this madness, one of which involves simply soaking gold jewelry in a beer filled dish for several minutes and then drying. Another involves scrubbing the jewelry with a beer soaked cloth using more of a buffing technique as opposed to a simple bath. Whether these ingenious ideas work or not, it is important to note that beer should NEVER be used to clean gemstone jewelry. Aside from absorbing beers' famous smell (unless that's what you're into) it will deteriorate the soft gemstones and potentially ruin your favorite gemstone or diamond earrings.
