How Do You Get Scratches Out Of A Gold Ring?
Cleaning a gold band to remove dirt and scratches can be accomplished quickly and with very few specialty items. With a few household items, and a jeweler’s polishing cloth you can have your wedding band or other gold rings looking like new in less than 20 minutes. Instead of paying for ring cleaning at a jewelry shop, look through your cupboards for simple ingredients that can do just as good a job. Apply equal parts soap and warm water to a damp washcloth. Scrub the gold band, using the soapy washcloth to remove surface impurities. Look on the surface of the band for dark flecks. Repeat scrubbing until all surface dirt has been removed. Rinse the band in cold water, and allow the gold to air-dry. In an 8-ounce cup, combine one part ammonia with six parts warm water. Do not attempt to clean a gold band with ammonia only. Place the gold band into the ammonia-and-water solution. Allow the band to soak in the solution for no longer than a minute. Remove the band from the ammonia solution
