on 5/10/2009 i personally would recommend using WINDEX on diamond watches because it really does do the trick. i first take off the bands from the watch and place it on top of a few napkins. then i spray the windex on the watch a few times and let it settle for about two minutes. then take a soft toothbrush and spray the bristles down with windex and clean the diamonds down good. then i personally wash the watch down with bottled water. you will notice the BLING immediately!

on 3/22/2009 I've tried a lot of different jewelry cleaners but the best result was found purely by accident. I had forgotten to remove my rings while cleaning the shower... the soap scum remover worked like a charm on my diamond! Wbat sparkle!

on 9/30/2008 I drop my gold and diamond rings in a ½" of mouthwash for a couple minutes every morning while I shower and they sparkle like new EVERY TIME!

on 11/16/2007 Something that I use in my 1.5 carat wedding diamond and makes it sparkle just like the day it was new, is either alcohol or peroxide and gently brush with a very soft jewelry brush or a baby toothbrush, paying special attention to the back which is where the residues from dirty soap by washing hands or hand lotion tend to build up. Be careful with the peroxide if your ring is whatever that is not gold it tarnishes silver, not bad, it can be easily removed with a polishing cloth, but still I do it only on gold. An NEVER let your jewelry soak for more than one or two minutes in any solution.

on 2/2/2007 The best thing that I have found to clean my diamonds is WINDEX. It works better that actual diamond soaps & it looks like you just had in cleaned professionally. Make it sparkle & shine even more by polishing it with a Special polishing cloth for gold & diamonds!

on 10/23/2006 Hi! I recently had my wedding ring redone by a very reputable diamond wholesaler in McLean/Tyson's Corner, VA. The gentleman there indicated to NEVER use a soapy substance when cleaning diamonds because no matter how well you rinse your stone, the soap still leaves a residue. He said that the best way to clean your diamond is in an ammonia/water mixture or even rubbing alcohol. I use the ammonia and it works very well for my 2 carat marquise. I used to use toothpaste & even sudsy ammonia, but my ring never sparkled the way it does now.

on 9/18/2006 I was told by a reputable jeweler that pure vodka is the best way to clean diamonds because it does not leave a film.

on 8/17/2006 Toothpaste is for teeth, not for jewelry. Toothpaste strengthens your teeth by developing a film over the enamel. Over time, this same film will remain on your gems, dulling them, and can be next to impossible to remove. Also, toothpaste contains microscopic granules that are abrasive and can scratch the smooth surfaces of the metals.

on 1/2/2006 Using Victoria's Secret Dream Angels body wash works really well. Add some with water and let your ring soak. When it's done soaking, I always clean mine off with a toothbrush. My jeweler recommended this trick.
P.S. It doesn't matter what scent of Dream Angels you use.

on 11/22/2005 When cleaning your diamonds always use distilled water (with whatever you are mixing in...for ex: amonia, soap or other) because distilled water does not have minerals that can leave deposits on the gem.

on 11/22/2005 I soak my diamonds in warm, soapy water and add a little bit of Windex to the solution. Let the diamond soak for about 15 minutes and pat it dry. Your diamonds will sparkle!

on 11/22/2005 After cleaning your diamonds (if you used tap water to rinse) always dry the diamonds with a blowdryer on a low heat. If you air-dry, chemicals in the tap water can cause a film to form on the diamonds while it's drying that dulls the sparkle. If you must air-dry your diamonds, wash with pure, filtered water.
