    Thanks girls. I will have to get DH to ring and have a chat with the jeweller.
    I wear gold, but wear a ring on my right hand that is a gold band with silver on it as well... this will come off for the new ring (my eternity ring) to go on. Won't be wearing it on the same finger as another ring, so to avoid 2 different types being side by side. There will be no other rings on my right hand except this one..
    Do your rings naturally shine? Or are they dull?
    I do not get my jewellery polished, as my silver shines with me wearing it.
    Sorry so many questions!
    I think speaking to jeweller is best!
    btw I wanna see photos!!!

    I have a diamond solitaire platinum ring & I clean it with hot water with a dash of ammonia in & a tooth brush (recommended by my jeweller). Diamond comes up super shiny. The band itself is getting dull from wear & I need to get it back to the jewellers for a polish.

    Lucky girl with your eternity ring! Enjoy! Sounds exciting! Can you link in a photo when you get it?

    The other thing to remember is that Platinum is really soft but it doesn't scratch, it dents if that makes sense. So wheras other rings loose volume over time (think of great granny's rings - they are usually very thin) platinum doesnt. This just means that when you take it to a jeweller for polishing they need to know what they are doing. I would say take it back to the guy who made it - even if it is only every couple of years.

    As for cleaning - warm water, dishwashing liquid and a toothbrush here too.
