Cleaning Your Ring
One of the first things you can do with engagement rings is to have them properly cleaned. The good news is that most jewelers will clean and examine your ring for free. The process takes a few minutes and should be done twice a year. During the examination, the jeweler will check for any loose stones, prongs, etc. and determine whether the ring needs to be sent away for repairs.
In between your professional cleanings, clean your jewelry once a week. Soak the jewelry in warm to hot water with liquid soap, baking soda, or even vodka. After a 20-40-minute soak, gently brush the ring with a toothbrush. Rinse the jewelry under warm running water (with the sink plugged of course) and dry it with a cotton or linen cloth. To avoid dust, store the cleaning cloth in a resealable bag. Get Your Ring Insured
Another way to keep your rings protected is to get them insured. You can typically add it to your existing policies for homeowners and renters? insurance. Be sure to include the valuation?you can get it from the jeweler where it was purchased.
