It's that time again. Time for the Jewelry Cleaning and Inspection. (Unless you own your own
Jewelry Ultrasonic Cleaner)
People come into the store to get their Jewelry checked and cleaned all the time. No problem. I'm more than happy to clean it. After all, nothing's better than clean, sparkling gems! Right?
But this is what people do when they come into the store. They take their rings off by licking their fingers. They spit all around their rings so they'll slip off with saliva. And, I've seen some people go so far as to actually stick their ENTIRE finger in their mouth to sop it up. The Rings gets globby and wet, then they hand me the sloppy mess... like I want it now!
Here's a funny little secret between you and me: "THAT'S GROSS!"
Stop it! It's Disgusting! Don't lick your fingers to get your rings off, then hand it to me. What are you thinking? You're handing me your Jewelry covered in thick saliva, pieces of lunch, and God knows what else. It's not nice. NOPE! Not at all!
Plus the fact that the rings are already packed full of dirt, grime, build-up and whatever other horror your hands have been in. You set your lovely little rings and jewelry into the palm of my hand thinking to yourself, "He won't notice my earrings full of puss!"
What would you do, if I brought you back your just-cleaned jewelry, and before I put them back in your hand, I licked them? You'd probably pull your hand back right? You'd be disgusted! See! Don't lick your fingers. I don't want to hold your spit!
Here's my advice: Use Windex or lotion to get your rings off.
Windex is awesome because it doesn't leave any greasy junk all over the jewelry. It's such a simple thing, but think before you do it. And since you only clean your rings once a Month (If that) anyway, I'm surprised you even WANT to lick them. Would you wear your underwear a Month in a row without cleaning them? Nope! Clean your Jewelry once a week, it will keep the dirt and debris down.
Clean them, clean them often and your Gems and Diamonds will thank you!
