Re: ring cleaning

before our engagement party i brought my engagement ring into a jewlery store by my house and i watched them steam it clean! ps they didnt charge me and i dont know if thats normal or not! also i found that putting into a glass with warm water and dishwashing liquid works nice too ... i take a little toothbrush (that im not using haha) and clean it myself.

you can also boil it in detergent ... i do that every once n a while... but i do find that the jewelry cleaner they give you works just fine

I think you can bring it to any jewler but I don't know if they charge or how much it will be. I guess just walk in and ask.

Re: ring cleaning

you can go to any jeweler. Where did you get it? They usually do free cleanings for the first year

Re: ring cleaning

any jewelry willdo a quick steam cleaning for free...it takes 2 seconds..if they charge you thats ridiculous! i actually went and bought my own because now that I have some bling i am obsessed with keeping it sparkling...i found one online for $50..works like a charm!

What about the little jars of solution you can buy at Target or Walmart? Is that a no-no?

I hope not bc that's what I've been using. FH makes fun of me, he's like 'you haven't cleaned your ring in 2 hours, you better go do it!' It seems to work pretty good. I also heard ammonia and water. But these ladies are right, just take it to any local jeweler and ask them to clean it, they should do it no charge.

I heard ammonia free windex works really well

Honestly you can go anywhere & some places charge just make sure it never is out of your sight. You want to watch them. Since your jewler is in Manhattan i dont think u much of a choice unless you clean t yourself. I have one of those vibrating cleaners & the reg. kind. Also using warm water & windex in a cup cover withtin foil for an hour will work nicely as well.

OMG be careful fh got me one of those 'Professional' cleaners for christmas...and paid an arm and a leg... and last week I went to the jewlers and I said how I use that to clean the ring etc and he said 'You really shouldn't use that. Its vibration is carried through the ring's metal itself. A real jewler wouldn't use that on a diamond ring either for fear that over time the prongs would become loose from the metal itself...' I almost pooped myself.... just be careful. He told me to just use a childs toothbrush, with baking soda and water and boy does it sparkle lol

Re: ring cleaning

your going to think im nuts but i take a soft tooth brush and scrub it a little with a mild liquid soap then let it sit in an espresso cup with hot water (with the suds from scrubbing it) and after 2 minutes i clean it off with the steamer from the espresso machine it works great!

Re: ring cleaning

I actually soacked mine in peroxide... came out looking brand new! Then I just used a q-tip to clean the hard to reach items. People at work even noticed it had a bit more 'bling' to it! HA. And, it's not bad for your ring. :)

I actuallyheard that. I had my prongs checked because i have an open beaded set with alot of diamonds set in them so i had it checked i use it once in awhile very once in awhile. I usually use the small brush & the jewlery cleaner. My sister always uses baking soda i tried that too. Iguess its whatever is close to me atthe moment. hahaha but i love getting it steamed cleaned from the jewler which be careful can also loosen your diamonds.

Thanks Jenny you are so super cute & helpful always.

I take my back to the jeweler. But if you can't I would call them to see if they can give you a trusted suggestion somewhere on Long Island.

Re: ring cleaning

The directions that came with my ring say to soak it in a 1:6 dilution of ammonia in water. I then scrub it a bit with a tooth brush and it looks like new.
I also took it to a local jeweler and they cleaned it for me for free but she told me that following the directions above work just fine.
