so a couple of months ago i went ring "window" shopping with my MOH and her bf (chris' groomsman and one of my bestest friends in the world) and we stopped into many of the top jewelers on 5th avenue, one of the places we stopped by was DeBeers...i was musing how pretty and sparkly the diamonds were compared to mine with all the grime and slime from everyday wear...so the wonderful british (i have an affinity for cool accents, and yes the english are among the many i am infatuated with) gemologist told me that all i had to do to get my ring to sparkle like the diamonds in the store/ like new was to do the following:
1. soft bristled toothbrush
2. use some dish soap (any kind that will cut through grease)
3. brush the ring under some warm water with the soaped toothbrush and voila!
alright you can't really tell but it does shine as if it was new...granted it is always better to get it professionally cleaned by a jeweler, but if you brush your little baby once a week it will be enough to keep it close to its top shape ;-)
note: this little trick happens to work on my diamond studs too, TRY IT! it will save you a trip to the jewelry store!
