Well, there is a jewelery cleaner you can buy, it costs like 50 dollars. You put the jewelery in there and in there is this chemical it cleanes things reall good i have some good luck! Even old things.

Go to a jewelry store and get some jewelry cleaner. It works great. You just soak the item in the liquid for a while. Jewelry cleaner doesn’t cost anywhere near fifty bucks. It’s cheap.

If its not sparkly, then I assume its not a lot of Karats. I would try a local jewelers, they usually clean the ring for around 50$.

I wouldn’t recommend house hold products, but you can pick up some Jewelry Cleaner Solution [for only around 15$] from the supermarket.

toothpaste is an old trick, that is what I use to brighten up my ring. It get lotion and day to day stuff on it, so I just use a dad of toothpaste to clean it.

Go to any jewelry department in any type of store, even a Target or something, will have jewelry cleaners in a container. They usually have ones for different types of stones, so be careful to buy one for diamonds. The liquid usually is strong enough to loosen the dirt loose and disolve it. They also have brushes with tiny brissels inside the containers that you can poke into the small holes of ring and get underneath the stone, which is always where the dirt sits and makes diamonds dull. If the ring doesn’t have any opening to poke the brissles of the brush through, then you have no choice but to take the ring to a professional who can take the stone out, clean it and put it back in. But get the ring insured, regardless. Chances are if something happens to his Grandmas ring, it won’t be from cleaning it.

If it’s just diamonds, no colored stones, then mix 1 part MrClean or some other similar cleaner, with 2 parts water. Heat it in your microwave maybe 30 seconds - just enough to warm it up, not to boilling. Soak the ring for a few minutes,then rinse with clean, clear water. Dry on a lint-free white cloth. If it still looks dirty, re-soak it again. This solution is perfectly safe for diamonds, gold, platinum, or sapphire/rubies.
If the band is scratched, take it to your jeweler and have them polish the band out. LAternately, you may be able to purchase a “jeweler’s cloth” which contains jeweler’s rouge.. it’ll turn you and your ring red temporarily, butit will remove minor surface scratches. Deep ones will have to be professionally polished out.
Also, depending on how old the diamond is, it may not be a very “sparkly” cut. Antique diamonds were often cut in “rose” or “old mine” cuts, which do not have the same refractive qualities of today’s modern round brilliant. I would recommend letting a jeweler look at it, clean it up, and tell you what you’ve got. Simple cleaning and polishing will not hurt your ring, and many jewelers will offer the service for free, or a minimal charge, and usually in the same day - most times while you wait.
