MemberHey Hive! I’m new here, and also very newly engaged! (EEE!) I’m wondering, do any of you White-Gold, e-ringed brides-to-be have any at home methods of cleaning your Precious?
I am going to get a cleaning kit as soon as I possibly can, but for now, I have to keep it clean somehow!
Thanks for your help ladies!
MemberI have an aquamarine stone so I have to be careful what I use.
So far the best thing that has worked is. Warm water, dawn dish soap and a little windex. I let it soak for about 5 mins and use a soft toothbrush to scrub it clean.
Rinse and wipe with a mircofiber cloth.
MemberI use a little toothpaste and an old toothbrush to keep mine clean. I forgot who told me that, but it sure does make it sparkle 🙂
MemberI have a micro pave ring and I use warm water, soft bristle toothbrush, and dawn dishdetergent. Congrats!
MemberI use a toothbrush with toothpaste on it (my mom swears by it, lol), which does a great job removing anything a toothbrush can reach. Every once in awhile, I’ll leave it sitting in a cup with dish soap and warm water to soak. That seems to clear out anything that gets gunked up inside. Be really careful, though, my mom tried to toss my ring out the first time! I always set it on top of a paper towel that I write “My Ring” on with a big blue Sharpie.

MemberMy husband’s coworkers were talking about the ultrasonic jewelry cleaners and raving about them, so he bought me one. This hands down works the best then any other method of cleaning – I LOVE it!
MemberThanks ladies! So helpful!!! 🙂
I love that the Hive is such a wonderful, welcoming environment! 🙂
@zeoy85 Thank you so much!
MemberI use warm water and soap between cleanings at the jewelry store every 6 months!
MemberMy future father-in-law is a jeweler and advised me the best and cheapest way to clean my ring is using ammonia. I let it soak for a couple minutes and usually scrub with a small brush (you could also use a tooth brush) to get in all the small spaces. 🙂
Member@MeaganLeigh2011: I def do this. A friend of mine owns a jewelry shop where she steams also but she said toothpaste or dawn dish soap works best
Member@futuremrshubbard: If the ring is white gold the ammonia will strip the Irodium right off. Be careful with that.
MemberSeriously, warm water and soap with a very soft toothbrush is literally the BEST thing if not taken into a professional. Some cleaning kits slowly erode over time so be careful.
