But the first thing I saw was that <strong>her rings were dirty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Really Dirty!<\/h2>\n<p>\nIn fact, <strong>her diamonds had zero sparkle<\/strong>. Nothing. So I suggested that we clean her rings while we look at bands. <strong>&#8220;SURE!&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nShe takes them off and hands them to me, and I kid you not, they were so dirty that <strong>it looked like yellow glue all around her diamonds<\/strong>. I had never seen such dirty rings before&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\nSo I put it in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2F59gwp\">ultrasonic cleaner<\/a>, knowing it will probably take a good <strong>1\/2 hour or longer<\/strong> to clean, and proceed to show her bands.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe ended up purchasing <strong>a $3,000 Anniversary band<\/strong> from us, but when I pulled her wedding set out of the cleaner&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><h2>Guess What?<\/h2>\n<p>\nNot only had <strong>one of the stones fallen out<\/strong> of the mounting, but <strong>4 others were loose<\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><h2>SIGH!<\/h2>\n<p>\nI had to explain to her that her stones were loose and needed repair, and that her rings had became so dirty that the debris (mud) <strong>sealed around her stones like cement<\/strong> in the mounting, and that was the only thing holding them in. <strong>This is true<\/strong>. If your ring is dirty, it <strong>hides loose stones<\/strong>. It hides <strong>chipped <\/strong>stones. It even hides <strong>missing <\/strong>stones (I&#8217;ve had people bring rings in that are so dirty you couldn&#8217;t tell that a stone was missing). <strong>Crazy!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nSo we fixed her ring, tightened all the stones and reset the one that fell out (at no cost because she purchased a new ring from us)&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><h2>But the point is: <em>Clean your Rings!<\/em><\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Please<\/strong>. Don&#8217;t put them on and <strong>forget <\/strong>about them. They need cleaning. They need <strong>inspecting<\/strong>. They need <strong>regular maintenance<\/strong> on them just like a car. <\/p>\n<p>\nOtherwise, your stones <em>will <\/em>loosen up. Your prongs <em>will <\/em>break.
