cleaning e-ring...

so does anyone know if cleaning your e-ring in those solutions sold at jewerly stores are harmful if used too frequently...will they ruin your ring or is is ok to use it about once a week (thats how frequently i usually want to clean it, helps the sparkle greatly!!)..just need advice...thanks!!!

I'm glad I logged in and decided to see what you girls are up to! I actually just cleaned my E-ring literally 2 seconds ago!!! So I can help!

I used 1 part amonia to 6 parts water and mixed it in a cup. then carefully dipped my ring in it - swooshed it around and took it out. i used an old eye makeup brush with soft bristles and wet it with the mixture and brushed it up! then rinsed in warm water and dabbed dry!!! then i ran the water really hot so it steamed (sorta) and held my ring while on my finger over it! it looks better now then when i first got it!!

Hope you find this helpful!!

I just bring it to the jewelers and they steam it.

if you dont have ammonia, use windex! It has ammonia in it! I love using it! Works like a charm.. Just make sure you thoroughly rinse it after you clean it....

I got a rash from the ammonia once! Itchy!

Not sure on the amount but i def made sure there was more water - it doesnt take alot to clean it! It was sparkling after the initial dunking!

Re: cleaning e-ring...

Any of you have a white gold ring? The under side of my band is showing some yellow and I know they have to dip it in rodium plating but I am surprised that yellow is showing thru already after only a year and it has already been dipped once. Anyone else have this issue?

YES!!! whenever I wear white gold rings that happens.. Dosent it have something to do with your body chemicals or something?
