Good to find another midwestern gal (I'm about 2 hours north of you in IN) that loves her wine...and the vodka Mondays seriously sound like a good idea.

And love me so...LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Vodka Mondays! And love me some rose's lime juice!<br /><br />As for a jewelry cleaner I HIGHLY recommend using about a tablespoon or two of ammonia and warm-hot water in a small bowl (like ramikin size). Leave it soaking overnight and then use a toothbrush to scrub the next morning. I find that my ring looks shinier/sparklier/more beautiful then when I bring it to the jeweler. My mom and my boss lady (who have BEAUTIFUL rings) say that they've been cleaning their rings this way for years.<br /><br />Good luck! Happy Monday!

I worked jewelry retail for several years when I was younger and saw a lot of cases where women wore their rings while doing dishes and the soap causes the alloys in the gold to break apart. This can make your prongs need retipping faster (putting you at risk of losing your stone) or even the entire head to break off.<br /><br />I use an ultrasonic cleaner to clean all my nice jewelry. Its the same thing jewelry stores use but mine is a much smaller (and much cheaper) version. The solution is available at most jewelry stores and even in the jewelry department at Wal-Mart. I drop my ring in once a week and hit start right as I jump in the shower. Its ready in five minutes so I can rinse it off and dry it when I get out. Its definitely worth buying one because you know your ring will always be safe and can be clean too!<br /><br />I have the older version of <br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DKDAVW/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B002LKIMPM&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=128FY7Z7DWXMZHSPDCNC/" rel="nofollow">this one</a> and after six years of use it still works great. You can also pick up jewelry cleaning solution in a cup at a drug store and it comes with a tiny scrub brush - and is safe for all your jewelry.Elizabeth | The Blush Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228736054206537138noreply@blogger.com
