I also had a jeweler tell me to use windex. My FMIL swears by it and her ring does always look shiny!

Is you FMIL Greek? Did you see my Big Fat Greek Wedding?

But seriously, I'm at work right now and my E-ring is so dirty so I tried windex and it worked. I will probably use a toothbrush and windex again tonight because I don't have a toothbrush here. It works!

I just put mine in a plastic cup with a little dish soap and warm water...I soak it for 20 minutes, then i let it dry on a paper towel, and then I buff it with a tissue or soft napkin! It always looks great when I'm done.

I use toothpaste and a brush with soft bristles.....it looks like the first day I wore it. I get compliments on the sparkle almost everyday. I have a cleaner that the jeweler gave me, but he said toothpaste works better..and then it smells good too..

Best tip!

Polident tablets (the denture cleaner stuff). i know it sounds weird but the diamond guy we used recommended it and it works great. Use a cup of hot water and drop the tablet in (it fizzes) then drop the ring in and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then clean with toothbrush.

Sparkles like crazy.

ivory snow laundry detergent. mix with water let the ring sit in it for a minute or so, brush with toothbrush, rinse, and you're good to go.

Re: Cleaning E- Ring?

I wanted to have a jeweler clean my e-ring 1-2 days before the wedding. Can I just go into a random jeweler and ask or do I have to pretend to want to buy something? Will they clean it for free?

Re: Cleaning E- Ring?

FMIL gave me this tip: Boil it in a pot with water (duh) and powdered dishwasher detergent. It works great! Between boilings, I use the blue jewelry cleaner with the little brush. My mom has the instant hot water and I rinse in that when I am there - works great.

My jewlers said to use dish soap and hot water. He told me that some of the jewlery cleaners may make your ring look cloudy after a while.

Re: Cleaning E- Ring?

I bought Razzle Dazzle, just spray it on and rinse.
Also heard that toothbrush with windex does the trick.

Re: Cleaning E- Ring?

The jeweler gave my FH a bottle of cleaner when he picked up the ring. I use it once a week - on a Tuesday (the day I got it). It works great. It does say on the bottle that it contains ammonia.

I bought jewelry cleaner which, I can tell you by the smell of it, definitely has ammonia in it! You dunk it in the tray for 10 secs, use a teeny brush on it, and then rinse off. Easy and boy does it SPARKLE!

I also had a jeweler tell me to use windex. My FMIL swears by it and her ring does always look shiny!

This is what I did, our jeweler always asks me why I come in to get my ring cleaned when its already clean

Re: Cleaning E- Ring?

Soak it in a bowl with ammonia and them use a tooth brush, my mom has done it this way since she got it 20 something years ago, and the sparkel is amazing!!
