How to Clean Your Ring and Jewelry: IGTV Edition

Keeping your engagement ring clean and looking like the first day you got it is something that can easily be done! By following some simple at home cleaning tips your ring should sparkle at all times.
Once your center-stone, or ring as a whole, gets dirty it can start to lose its beauty and look like something that is lower quality. The only difference is your ring can be cleaned to bring it back to life while a low quality diamond's appearance cannot change no matter how much you clean it. Diamonds, and most gemstones, rely on light traveling in and out of the stone in order to give it sparkle and brilliance. At the same time, diamonds are a sticky substance and they attract oils, lotions, grease etc which can get on its surface and block the light. There are certain activities we recommend not doing with your ring including: physical activities like sports/gym, showering, sleeping and how you take it on or off
There are a lot misconceptions out there on how to clean your ring with some as crazy as ketchup, vodka, toothpaste and others. The best method is to let your ring soak in warm water with dish soap, then take it out and scrub gently with a soft toothbrush. Be sure to clean the underside of the ring as that is where a lot of the dirt can build up and cause light blockage. Once you have cleaned you can do one final soak or pat dry with a micro-fiber cloth and voila!
