Toothpaste!!!. Call any jeweler and ask them. If they are honest, they will tell you toothpaste works excellent and will not harm a thing.

The following process is for precious gemstone jewelry only (Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies), softer semi-precious gems will be treated according to their specifications. Jewelry is first inspected for damage, loose stones, and to ensure the integrity of the setting. Then rings may be buffed out on a buffing wheel to remove surface scratches from the gold and then everything will be placed in an ultra-sonic cleaning machine with a diluted ammonia based cleaner (similar to Windex and Mr. Clean) that has been heated in order to break down any build up of materials like lotion, soap, hair products, etc. The ultra-sonic cleaning machine uses gentle vibrations to clear these tacky materials from the crevices of the setting around the stones. Then items are removed from the cleaning solution, brushed off gently with a soft brush and finally put under a high pressure steamer to remove the water and left over residue. At many reputable jewelry stores this service should be provided for free. If any problems with the items are found during inspection, ask to see the defects yourself under a gem scope.

Believe it or not, the best 'home method' I've found that cleans high quality rings with, is to take an old toothbrush, and brush your ring with toothpaste all over it, rinse under warm water, then do the same thing again only with household ammonia. The toothpaste will clean all the nooks and crannies (or crooks and nannies) in your ring, and the ammonia will make it sparkle like new.

You can but jewerly cleaner in a red jar for like 2.99 or you can make your own cleaner, but it is a little stinky, amonina, dish soap and vinegar and let the ring soak for about 5 miuntes and then remove and rinse with cool water. Or you can always stop one of the jewerlers in the mall and they usually clean rings for free, There is also a cloth that is gray on onside and white on the other this is a jewerler's cloth and they clean and shine really well but they are also a little pricey.

The thing that I found works great with my rings is to take a tiny bit (a dash) of Cascade dish cleaner and mix it with a teaspoon of any liquid dish detergent you might use, like Joy or Palmolive, and mix it with warm water. Let your rings soak in that solution for overnight is best but even an hour will work. Then take a toothbrush dipped in the solution and scrub.Rinse and Dry with a cotton cloth. It is safe and the rings sparkle like new.

Toothpaste is the best I have used so far. It has never damaged any of my jewelry and leaves a nice shine. If the ring is really dirty take a soft bristle toothbrush, cover entire ring with toothpaste , let sit for a few minutes and then scrub.

Buy an inexpensive store brand of denture cleanser tablets. Drop one in a small bowl of warm water and put your jewelry in the bowl. Let soak a few minutes, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, and rinse. If it's gentle enough for something you put in your mouth, it's gentle enough for your jewelry. Also, never, NEVER allow your jewelry to come into contact with any type of clorine bleach, including the clorine in a swimming pool. The clorine will attack the alloy in the gold, and eventually your jewelry wil start to break in multiple places. It will be ruined and unrepairable.

Any gold and hard gemstone ring (NOT opal, pearl or amber) can be soaked in ammonia and water....up to overnight. When done, take an old toothbrush and use liquid soap to scrub it. This will not harm the metal or the stone, and works great.

I agree with toothpaste. Get a toddler toothbrush because it is soft. Use plain old regular Colgate. As long as it isn't whitening tooth paste it will work wonders to make it sparkle!!!

Toothpaste and a toothbrush, it has to be paste though not gel.
You can also buy jewerly cleaner at Target or WalMart that is cheap.
