5 Steps On How to Clean Your Diamond Ring Like an Expert!

What's up everybody? Here are five easy steps on how to clean your diamond ring. Fellas, this is super easy and it's a great way to surprise your lady with a nice polished ring. No matter how hard you try, diamond rings will just endure some wear and tear over the years and it will lose some of its initial shine and cleanliness, but we are here to help. Follow these easy steps to ensure a safe and effective ring cleaning. First, prepare a cleaning solution. There are a ton of store-bought options out there, but you can create your simple solution at home by mixing warm water with a mild detergent. Just use dish soap or hand soap. If it's good enough for the baby ducks, it's good enough for you and your diamond ring. Please do not use harsh chemicals. Don't use bleach. Don't use Windex. Don't use anything like that. These will damage the diamond and the metal. Next, soak the ring. As much as you might want to scrub away, be patient. Place the diamond ring in a cleaning solution and let it soak for about 20 to 30 minutes. This will help loosen any dirt or any grime that has accumulated on the ring. If you have the time, we recommend letting it marinate in that solution overnight. That'll go a long way. Once the ring has had a sufficient amount of time in the solution, use a soft bristle toothbrush or a jewelry brush to gently scrub the diamond and the metal. Be sure to get crevices and in the corners of the ring, but don't scrub too hard. You'll never be able to scratch the diamond. That thing's safe, but you might do some damage to the tiny metal prongs holding the center stone in place. After scrubbing, rinse the ring. Be sure to rinse under running water. You'll remove any soap residue. And please hold the ring over a strainer or plug the sink so it doesn't accidentally fall down the drain. Lastly, dry the ring. Pat it dry with a clean lint-free cloth, a microfiber cloth or a lens cloth. Those work great. And you can find them for pretty cheap. Avoid using paper towels. Avoid using tissues. They can leave behind small fibers and make this thing not look so shiny. You are more than welcome to use a jewelry polish after these steps, but it's not necessary. These simple five steps will go a long way to help the appearance of your ring. It is important to note that if your diamond ring has a delicate setting or if it's an antique, it's best to have it cleaned by a professional jeweler to avoid causing any damage.
