Maintaining the Sparkle
Posted on February 3rd, 2016
I’m not afraid to admit it. Every time someone asks to see my ring, I am excited about being engaged all over again. It’s such a joy, and Ian picked a winner, so I’m happy to share! Many girls– myself included– work to keep well-manicured nails for showing off their ring, but these friendly observers are not really interested in the color of polish I chose. They want to see the sparkle!!!
My at-home cleaning methods cannot compete with the professional steam cleaning at the jeweler, but it definitely does the trick in maintaining the shine I first saw on that beach in Malibu. Ready for my high-tech, fancy secret?
If you, too, are feeling fancy and want to keep your rings looking sparkling, I highly recommend trotting to the drug store and picking up a bottle of Windex of your very own. Windex is an ideal product here because it’s designed specifically to leave absolutely no residue that might leave a film on your diamond.
I clean my rings about every two weeks by mixing about a tablespoon of Windex with a splash of water, and dropping the rings in for about 20 minutes. When I take them out, I rinse them thoroughly, and take 3-5 minutes to just admire them. That’s a requisite step, by the way.
See? Works like a charm. On my mom’s most recent visit, we put her rings in, too… Let’s just say it revealed the importance of regular cleaning to fight build up.
I guess Gus and those Greeks might have been on to something…
