I am wondering how to clean rings that have gemstones like rubies and diamonds, besides the jewelry cleaner?
cornflower asked:
Like the jewelry cleaner you get from a jewelry store. Is there a good home remedy?

I agree with Baby…..I take mine to a jeweler….especially since they can inspect the prongs, etc to make sure nothing is coming loose. I do that every few months and they do it for free.

Dont put them in an ultrasonic machine ! Never with gems except very high clarity diamonds.
So, mild soap and a toothbrush are the best. Don’t use high acidity soaps or any bleaching product since that might attack your metal settings and ring.
For daily cleaning I use a towel made from microfibers, like the one’s for cleaning your glasses, to take the grease from the gems. (Diamonds love grease).
Enjoy daily your jewelry

Jewellers rouge with a soft cloth ,or a very fine and soft brush.Toothpaste should not be a preferred choice ,even though it works. It is rather abrasive on jewelry for the most part and, not to wise for fine and precious metals or gems. Also, if the toothbrush has hard brussels it will most likely loosen yours gems from their settings .I say ditto ,to Philip’s answer.He indefinitely knows what he is talk- in about. but, Personally I prefer white jewellers rouge over mild soap.It makes metals and precious stones glisten to their fullest.
