You''re totally right, Wink. I can attest to the tarnish. When I was very young- like 12 yrs. old or so, I ruined a white gold ring by leaving it in this jewelry cleaner solution that my mom bought at the drugstore. I will never repeat this horrible mistake again.

But it is ok to clean with ammonia right? (lord I hope so because I clean my rings with ammonia and water every night). I never leave them in there very long...5 minutes maybe...if not ammonia and water then what??? There are so many threads and that''s what I found the majority of people to be using.
I NEVER sleep with my rings on at night. I may nap with them on occassionally but never to bed all night. I''m anal too Rod LOL...I am too busy tossing and turning all night to worry about what I would be doing to my ring. It''s in a safe place while I sleep
Thanks for brightening my day togal!! I used to have two rings, but I upgraded them into one pretty fantastic ring, so it''s a single these days. But yes, I suspect it wakes up more refreshed than I do!!Date: 4/13/2006 11:13:05 AM

You are very funny.....do your rings wake up well rested and refreshed? LOL
Not to worry.....I''m just as obsessive. In fact, before I got my Jewel Jet and ultra-sonic, I used to go into one of those very high-end poshy-posh jewellery stores to have my rings cleaned as often as I could, until one time they suggested that I might like to purchase something.....I.left feeling embarassed and never went back.....thank gawd for the JJ and US!
Your girls will be ever so grateful. Poor things, I bet they thought they had done something wrong and believed they were being punished. So sad, being made to drown in amonia for hours and hours on end. You're lucky they haven't turned on you!! There........enought guilt for 'ya??!!Date: 4/13/2006 12:07:29 PM

I hear ya! I've been doing a real no noI have stopped soaking my rings overnight as of this very moment. Better safe than sorry
So now I think I'll follow Rod's routineI'll put my girls to bed everynight in their velvet ring box so they will be bright-eyed and bushy tailed in the morning!

I''m glad you took your "scolding" with the humor that was intended. I''m sure you meant well, but you must have missed the appropriate chapters in the "How to Care For Your New Darling Pet Rock" book!!!Date: 4/13/2006 12:43:50 PM

Hey, I''m toughening them up so they will be able to withstand all the pollutants, oils, grease and dirt that is out there in the real big bad world. Compared to an amonia bath, the rest is a piece of cake! See my logic?
Ok, seriously now. When I soaked them overnight, it was in the jewelery cleaner the jeweler gave me which did not contain amonia. It was a sudsy soapy liquid, no amonia at all!
That said, let the berating continue!My BAD! Mia culpa! I done WRONG!!! Oh, what an unfit mother I am! Woe is me! I promise to pamper them from now on!
Hey, It''s all good. Remember... I really, really like you! I can take it!
