WINDEX - it leaves my rings sparkling, and the diamonds crystal clear. fill a mini bowl with windex, leave your jewelry covered by the substance (you can also just spray and wash off immediately) I like to soak the jewelry while I'm getting ready to go out. When you're done, just rinse with water (not necessary, since you don't rinse windows w/water when cleaning) and wipe dry with a paper towel, or drying object of choice. And presto - pretty sparkly jewelry. if it's too dirty, i scrub lightly with a toothbrush :-) Good luck! my husband suggested this a while back and I’ve been doing it ever since… WINDEX – it leaves my rings sparkling, and the diamonds crystal clear.

Get out your older espresso machine - one with a manual steam arm. Fill the machine with water and close as you normally would - but without any coffee. Once the steam is ready - take your ring or necklace or item and hold it in a long pair of tweezers. Open the valve for the steam and hold your item under it. Clean an area and then change your grip on the item and clean another area. Polish it with a dry cloth. It will SHINE! (I don't recommend this for costume jewelry that may have stones held in with glue - it might melt the glue.) It definitely gets the gunk out.

Wet the toothpaste and brush and apply to your rings or any jewelry where you have hard to get to areas. They shine up great looking brand new!
