    Thanks guys.
    I know the diamond is tough as you can only cut them with other diamonds but what about the white gold band? Is moisturise and shampoo bad for it over time? However I want to minimise the number of times I remove the ring so that I don't lose it.
    Don't listen to me, I'm no expert!
  • I bought my wife a cheap ultrasonic cleaner from Maplins (20 quid) to clean her engagement ring.. works nicely

    Remember to get a little bottle of gin..pour some gin into a tiny bowl (you won't need a huge amount) and put your ring in that, leave for a while to soak and then get a soft toothbrush and brush it especially at the back..your ring will gleam.

    I know that my mum takes her engagement ring off when she is washing up, showering etc (hers is a 3 stone diamond ring too).

    Just tried this, what a brill idea, my ring is sparkling now, i didn't even think it was dirty (only had it for 3 and a half months!)
