Since having this diamond ring on my finger for the last couple years I have found a new pet peeve.
When my diamond gets dull and dirty!
Seriously. It really bugs me. So what do I do - nothing.
Bring it in every 6 months to get cleaned and checked and live with it.
So being my resourceful self that I think I am.
I hopped on Google and found some options (after over 3 years of dealing with this!)
I found some advice and IT WORKED! My ring looks shiny and new again!
What was said to do: get a little bowl of warm water and put a little liquid dish soap in there. Let you ring soak for a few minutes then take a soft bristled tooth brush to it. I found this worked best for the pointy part of the diamond - the part that sits closest to my finger (bet you didn't know I was an expert at knowing what things are called!) and Viola! Clean!
Even my husband noticed - and he doesn't notice ANYTHING!

Good advice on the ring cleaning. I always loathe the time between cleanings while it is all funky and dull. I can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteWow, your ring still looks like it's newly bought from the store! I also use dish-washing soap whenever I clean my rings. Sometimes I use baking soda paste or ammonia to polish them. I’ve found that cleaning them myself is much cheaper than having a professional do it for me, although I do advise knowing all there is to know about cleaning before doing it, lest you want your rings to deteriorate.

Your ring does look shiny! It would be great if I can see how it looks before so there’d be a point of comparison. Liquid dish soap is effective in cleaning pieces of jewelry. For me, though, I use denture tablets. I dissolve one in warm water and put the ring in. Afterwards, I dry it and polish it with lint-free cloth. :)
