the best way to clean fine jewelry is if you don't have an ultrasonic and a pressurized steamer then boil it in a pot of soapy water and remove it with rubber coated tongs while it is still hot and rinse it off in your sink with your sprayer concentrating under the diamond where most gunk gets trapped... however do not do this with emeralds, opals, or any stone that may have been treated because they are not tolerant to heat.....

Use a rough stone, no joke. Remember that diamonds are very strong when cleaning it, you must not be afraid to use force. After you are finished, pawn it, trust me, money is better then gems.

If you can't take it to a Jewler to have them put it in the altrasonic
cleaner, whitch I believe is Free in most . I would suggest using jewelry cleaner that you can purchase at any Kmart, Wal Mart,
Target , ect.
