How Do You Clean A Diamond Ring To Sell?
A diamond ring can be a significant investment, so when it comes time to sell it, restoring it to its original sparkle can help you to recoup as much for it as possible. Careful cleaning with the proper products is a necessity, as harsh or otherwise damaging products can scratch the stone or the metal, or cause it to become unattached to its setting. Prepare a solution of 1 cup warm water and ΒΌ cup ammonia. Set a timer and let your ring soak in this mixture for 20 minutes. Mix in a bit of dishwashing liquid into a new bowl of warm water. Put on the rubber gloves and move the ring to the new bowl, and let it soak for a couple of minutes. Gently scrub the ring with a toothbrush. Rinse off the ring in warm running water. Dry it off with a lint-free cloth and then place it on a paper towel to let it finish air-drying. Put the ring into its original box, if still available, once it’s completely dry.
