Cleaning white gold hodium ring with ammonia??

Todd at NiceIce for example, reccomended 50% water & 50% ammonia. I've had excellent results on loose stones with that formula. But is a water\ammonia mix safe for a white gold ring now that the diamond in question has been mounted? Can she leave the entire rhodium plated white gold e-ring in the ammonia mix for 20 minutes (a shower) every morning? I saw one or two reports of people who claimed ammonia turned their ring green... Maybe people with white gold rings could chime in! Thanks! ~JES

You should be careful about using cleaning chemicals on other gemstonse, especially pearls, opals and several others. You should also be aware that ammonia is poisonous and can damage some fabrics. It should always be handled with respect. Neil Beaty, GG ISA Independent Appraisals in Denver There's never a crowd when you go that extra mile.
