3 of the 5 rings are not mine. They''re my sisters. Since I''ve got major cleaning equiptment at home, I was asked to clean them for them, (twist my arm)

Wow, that''s a lot of bling there, how fun!!!
 
They look so nice and shiny. Did you use an ultrasonic cleaner? I''d take them all they''re really pretty!!!!!!!
 

Thank you all for the compliments!




KristyDarling: I had a blast taking the pictures. I was trying to get some flower shots but with 2 broken fingers, I wasn't able to get all the rings onto on flower. Maybe next time.

LizzieC: I was the exact same way. I couldn't wait til I got my hands on all of the rings my family has. The Jewel Jet works great.

FashionSweetie: I used my SI ultrasonic, and then I used my Jewel Jet.

My sister who owns the set closest to my palm (#1) really needs to reset her rings.. again. Her orginal set was with the same but the band was too thin for her. The rings would spin since it was top heavy so she reset her wedding band only into a channel set. She then decided that the channel setting didn't do much for the diamonds so she had both rings reset in her current setting. What a mess! In this picture below you can see the horribe job the jeweler did (he was an Uncle of a friend = cheap, which suited her but was shocked with the final product). It looks like the Uncle took some wg and just soldered the ring together and made little holes to pass the ring off as complete.


Upon inspecting the rings, (I have a microscope) the soldering job is worse than it actually looks. Most but not all the diamonds are loose, I could physically turn the loose diamonds 360 degrees. She has not had them inspected for a long time.


Anyways, we've spoken about getting them reset again by a reputable jeweler here locally. So now I'm searching for some settings for her so she can get a visual. Most of the bands are 5 stone not 6 which she has in her set so we might have to either get it custom made or maybe she will take one of the diamonds out and just have a 5 stone.

Pretty pics! I love playing with different people''s sets! Now, how did you go and break 2 fingers!!!! Yikes! Hope they''re on the mend...
 
What a gorgeous bunch of bling!!! All of those rings are really beautiful!
 
Nice rings! I love the Vatche rings you posted as possibilities for your sister''s redo. Those are the set I would have picked for myself if I''d not gone the solitaire route...

My fingers got caught in the path of a safe door.

I broke my 2nd and index fingertips to be accurate. It was painful.
