The best practice is to send it to us to get professionally cleaned. We use an ultrasonic machine and steam clean all of our rings. If you decide to clean your ring yourself, we take no responsibility if you incur any damages while cleaning your ring. Be very delicate when cleaning your ring as spending too much time in the ultrasonic cleaner or extended time being exposed to steam can cause damage. The safest thing would be to send us your pieces so if anything does happen, we will repair it at not cost to you. Plus, every engagement ring purchase does come with one free cleaning with no expiration date, so once your ring finally needs a cleaning, reach out to coordinate with us.
