What can you do to the E-ring to freshen it up??

Hi ladies, I have had my engagement ring for over a year. The setting is platinum and as you know over time, this metal shows scratches and nicks pretty easily. What can you do the the ring (besides a pressure/heat wash) to remove the scratches so that it looks new like the band? Is there a such thing as removing the stones to redip the ring in the metal??

Have your jeweler re-polish it...It will smooth out all the scratches and nicks...

Yep take it to your jeweler and they can re-dip/re-coat it for you with the stones or give it a good polishing. They won't have to remove the stones. They recommend that you do this once a year anyway. I know what you mean about "looking new" I wanna get mine done monthy Good luck.

I would not have it re-dip yet. I would go with having it polished by a jeweler. It made a world of diff on mine.

yes you can take to the jewellers and they replate it for you.its not that expensive either.give it your cousin lol

redipping makes the ring look lke new. good luck!

LOL yes, she should take it to Tiffany with her. You are to much. Everytime I see that little mound of blue boxes, I get all giggly. They are having another 50% off event on Dec. 7th, too close to the last purchases though so I don't know if I will hit the Tiffany motherload again. I am considering panhandling for a bit though NY pan handlers get PAID if you stand in the right place haha.

THanks ladies!!! I will try repolishing. I completely forgot about that. My last polishing event rubbed off the coating of a pianagonda necklace so I was scared to try it again.

Girlkin... once a month! I am not mad at that, let's keep this oh so important piece of jewelery looking its best!

I also have an ultra sonic cleaner at home that I just put my rings into with some dish detergent. They come out really sparkly!

Also if you want to do it at home (sometimes I just don't have time or want to drive to a jewelers) Here is a how-to from real simple! I am actually going to do mine today!
