@mchap ... I almost forgot! Now you’ll have to keep that blinding stone clean! I think most of us use dishwashing soap and a soft toothbrush for daily cleaning ... and I would recommend a little ultrasonic cleaner for about once every 1-2 weeks, maybe less, depending ... the microscopic dirt and oils can really make a difference in how your diamond looks. You can get a little Magnasonic or similar brand (I have a Fosman and it’s virtually identical) for $30 - $40 on Amazon that will last about 3-4 years (from what I’ve read), or you can spend big dollars, around $400 for a top end one like Elma that will probably last a lifetime ... the difference is mainly the tub material that is thinner in the less expensive brands, and the ultrasonic action wears spots away in it. I would suggest using an ultrasonic cleaner with it, hot distilled water (to prevent spotting), and not to place the ring on the bottom of a metal basket or directly on the bottom of the ultrasonic tub to avoid scratches. Some have plastic baskets - otherwise you can put the ring and some water in a little zip lock bag or find a way to suspend the ring into the tub. Rinse with distilled water, and using a hairdryer to dry can help prevent water spots too.
You’ll be surprised how quickly your diamond gets dirty!
Ok, my unsolicited advice is now done!
I hope you’re not getting much done because you’re mesmerized by your ring, lol
