Tips or suggestions for cleaning diamonds

[Mrs. Mac]

Not necessarily. Both will work just fine. I assume you already have the dish soap so use that.

yes I do! I can't wait to try this on Sunday. That's ring cleaning day!! LOL

What is the sharper image one? Does it contain ammonia?

 

[Mrs. Mac]

Yes it's dish soap it's gonna be fine.

 

[Mrs. Mac]

Bought your stuff!!! Thanks again for your help! Few drops in a cup with hot water, right?

 

[ame]

Thanks ame! I will let you know how it turns out tonight. I always clean my rings on Sunday night. Then during the week I run them under hot water and now I will use the paper towels you told me to buy and the hair dryer daily as well to dry! You ROCK!!

You can wash your hands with the dish soap too during the week and then dry the rings with the paper towel, which I also do, then I take off the rings and put them in their box.

ame you are a genius when it comes to cleaning rings!!!! I did exactly what you told me.... A few drops of method (I bought the blue one) in a plastic dish filled with hot water. Soaked both my engagement ring and my anniversary wedding band in this dish on opposite sides to avoid scratching. I think I soaked them for five to ten minutes. Wasn't sure how long to soak. Removed one, brushed it, rinsed under hot water and OMG!!!!! The white gold rhodium plating is PURE SHINY BRIGHT WHITE/SILVER!!!! I haven't seen it this white since DH gave it to me last month!!!! And the diamonds!!!! OMG!!! My main stone is a marquise D color and it used to sparkle regardless... But now I think it lights up a room!!!! My side stones are both baguettes and princess cut in both rings, channel set. WOW!! My rings look gorgeous!! I wish I knew about using dish soap last month! I hope the red conosseurs sonic cleaner did not cause my rings any harm! They look stunning right now and I'm looking forward to seeing them shine in my office tomorrow under the flourescent lights!!!! Now... A few questions... How long do you soak your rings in the solution? How hot is the water? How often do you soak them during a week? YOU are diamond cleaning IDOL!!! Thank you!!!!
