Shining bright like a diamond. A how-to, to keep your rings clean and shiny :)

Let's start this off by saying that we LOVE ring shots!!!

I love a clean and sparkly ring as much as anyone else, but have you ever wondered how to keep it shining bright like a diamond?  Many people work, and just plain do things with your hands every day, unless you have a sweet maid and butler so you are pampered all day long (hey we can dream can't we)  and with that our rings get dirty. We all want to keep our rings shiny and sparkling like the when we first got it. The question is, how exactly can you get your ring deep down clean without causing any damage to it?






The first thing to do is don't loose it lol. We start with 1 toothbrush, 3 cups ( haha I know what you were just thinking) Head over to a flat surface, kitchen counter, table, desk, etc... I would not recommend the bathroom since theres way to many little creatures in there that would love to swallow it. Also I would recommend having the setting checked by your jeweler every year to make sure the stone is still where it should be. Some warranty's that you purchase with your ring will cover this (sometimes it is required) as well as free cleaning. 
Ok so on to the how-to, fill cup #1 with about 3 tablespoons of peroxide (enough to let the ring soak) Fill cup #2 with soapy water, and fill cup #3 with just plain old warm water. Now take that pretty little bad boy off your finger, feel free to pretend to be a hand model at this time ;) Drop it into Cup #1 and allow it to soak for about 5 minutes. When the ring is done soaking pull it out of the peroxide, grab a tooth brush (that you wont use on your teeth again) and dunk it in the soapy water Cup #2. Now gently scrub down the ring getting all the little cracks and small areas. After you scrubbed it all down rinse it off by rinsing it off in the cup of warm water Cup #3, let it hang out in there for about 5 minutes. 
So the process is pretty simple, and should be done roughly every 2 weeks. Then make sure it goes back in the box or back on that pretty little finger of yours ;)
