how can I clean my diamond ring?

[sparklygothkat]

Have noticed today that my engagement ring is looking dull, what can I use to clean it?

I use my electric toothbrush and soapy water,but you can get them cleaned in jewellers.

You buy a tub of special liquid form the jewelers, put the ring in for a while, and hey presto!

I put mine in a glass with lemon juice for a minute then buff it off

First I soak rings in washing up liquid and warm water, in a cup.
Then I use a soft brush on my rings. I've also used an old toothbrush before now.

soak it in gin, then give it a good scrub

your ring will then be nice and sparkling fnurr fnurr ooh err missus

hot water with a squirt of washing up liquid always does mine. Leave it in soak for while, fish it out and give it a scrub with a toothbrush. Should make it nice and sparkly again

lol don't have gin here, neither of us drink it.

doesn't cola get jewellery clean? or is it lemonaid.

i know you can buy pots of jewellery cleanser from ASDA

i take mine back to where we bought it and they clean and polish it, looks like new
buit has been a year or two since last did it

I only realised how dull it looked when I took my earrings out that DH brought me for xmas, and they are all sparkly

Any spirits will do the job.............with the exception of the Holy Spirit.....although on second thoughts.....

maybe you should be dullgothcat??

maybe lol!! I'm off to give the washing up liquid and toothbrush tip a try. Can I used DH's toothbrush??

Tooth brush and toothpaste - its ever so slightly abrasive and brings 'em up lovely and shiny.

My mum always used to "boil" her rings in a saucepan on the hob.They came up lovely but apparently you can only do this to a diamond.Now...she puts her rings in a small washing net and ties it in the dishwasher-they come out sparkling.

i heard that you should soak it in vodka which i did just the other day. Afterwards the it sparkled so much it nearly blinded me

seems a shame though, to waste the vodka

The jeweler that made my ring said to use the following: boiling water (half a cup) with a teaspoon of dish-washing liquid and a teaspoon of scouring cream CIF etc.) mix well, leave any jewelry in for about 10-15 min. Take out, use soft clean cloth and buff! Looks like new!
