Remember when you first say your engagement ring? You were smitten, right. At one point in time, if the whole world revolved around your ring, it might not be the same after a year or two.
Perhaps you cared for your ring so much in the initial days that you completely forgot to set a schedule to clean it every once a while. The truth is, most of us are the same. Moreover, everything gets old with time.

You need a more than a thorough cleaning and after looking for ways to make your engagement ring look as good as new, I was heartbroken. There was actually no clear list online to make it sparkle like a new one. That’s why I put this together.

· Clean it at Home
Let me introduce you to the secret of making your engagement ring sparkle within the four walls of your home. While professional cleaning is something else, you can always clean your precious ring to make it look as good as new with household things.
- VINEGAR
Take a bowl and fill it with white organic vinegar. Place your engagement ring inside the bowl for up to 2 hours. Take it out and place it underneath cold running water. Now, use a soft bristle brush and clean. Pat it dry after!
- BAKING SODA
Take 4 spoons of baking soda in 16 spoons of water. It should be a paste, not the liquid solution. Now take a cotton ball and scrub your ring. Place it under running water to clean it well. Pat it dry when you’re done!
· Storage must not be Reckless
Just like cleaning your ring regularly, another way to prevent it from losing that bling is with careful storage. It is best to keep your ring in the box you got it with the purchase whenever you’re not using it. If you can’t find the box to store your precious engagement ring, wrap it in a silk cloth to prevent tarnish from damaging it.
You can also wrap it in a white paper to make a DIY jewelry box to keep your jewelry from losing its sparkle.
· Give your Engagement Ring a Vodka Shot
A good rink uplifts everyone. It’s the same with your jewelry. Next time you’re partying, take your engagement ring with you. All you need to do is soak the ring in a glass of vodka for at least 30 minutes to get rid of the dirt and grime on it. Once you’re done, place it under warm water and cleanse it with a cotton cloth.
Don’t take a shot of the cleaning vodka after!
· Get a Professional Cleaning done
If everything else fails or you don’t want to take chances, take your precious engagement ring to a jeweler. Take it to the jeweler you bought to get the cleaning done for free!
