Anyone have a Platinum ring?

[Muppity]

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.

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).

:yeahthat: That's how I do mine too (not platinum though, 18ct white gold). Our jeweller has made all of our rings and told us to clean them all this way. I then rinse them in hot water and dry them with a hairdryer. They come up super shiny and the diamonds are very sparkly

For what it's worth, he told us to only have it cleaned and polished once a year because over time it causes too much wear on the jewellery. I usually get mine done around our anniversary.

I have a platinum diamond solitaire engagement ring and a platinum wedding band. To clean the grime off the stone and ring I use warm soapy liquid and a soft toothbrush. Twice a year I take it to a jeweller that actually manufactures their own platinum jewellery (where mine were made) and they clean them professionally in a machine that gives them a very light sand-blasting. They come out good as new.
