The engagement ring sparkles
as bright as her eyes when you
slip it on her finger. It catches the
light and reflects your love for
her.
To keep that diamond as bright
as the day you bought it, a little
care is required. Diamonds seem
to attract grease and should be
cleaned regularly to keep the
sparkle.
According to the Canadian
Jewellers Institute, there are a few
simple things you can do to
assure the ring maintains its lus-
ter.
Clean with detergent
1 - Prepare a small bowl of
warm suds with any mild liquid
detergent.
2 - Rub the ring gently with a
small brush (a toothbrush works
very well) while the ring is in the
suds.
3 - Move the ring to a wire
strainer and rinse under warm,
running water.
4 - Pat dry with a soft, lintless
cloth.
To clean in water alone
1 - Make a half-and-half solu-
tion of cold water and household
ammonia.
2 - Soak the ring and diamond
for 30 minutes
3 - Lift out and tap gently
around the front and back of the
mounting with a small brush.
4 - Swish the ring round in the
solution once more ariddrain on
paper. A rinse is nonnecessary.
Quick app
To use the quick dip method,
consider buying one of the brand
name liquid jewelry cleansers
with its kit and follow the instruc-
tions.
General care tips

thumb - or ring finger if you will -

work. The bleach won't hurt the
diamond but it can pit or dis-
colour the mounting.
It's a good idea to remove your
wedding ring while doing rough
twork or while doing dishes. Even
though a diamond is durable, it
can be chipped by a hard blow
along its grain.
If storing rings for any length of
time, be sure not to just toss them
together into a jewelry box.
Diamonds can scratch each other.
Taking your rings into your
jeweller for a regular `check up' at
least once a year is the best way
to assure it will keep that just like
new look.
