Cleaning Diamond Rings
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have been’ in the habit of cleaning my diamond ring with warm soapy water, and a soft nailbrush, but now someone tells me that this is bad for the ring, and weakens the setting. I have heard of a way of cleaning rings with baking soda, but do not know how to go about it. Can you help me? "Young Bride," Raglan. I asked a jeweller about the soft brush and soap and water method, and he said
it was all right, provided you didn’t scrub too hard, or use too stiff a brush, But here is what a good Link in our Daisy Chain wrote about the matter:Dear Aunt Daisy, About cleaning rings. From a leading jeweller I got the following directions: Into a cup of hot water drop a small piece of washing soda-not baking soda. Hang the ring on a piece of cotton, and when it is dipped in and out of the cup you can see the dust and dirt floating out. In fact, the ring looks quite brand new after each cleaning. I hope this will help our friend. -"Maxine."
