You Can Have Them Professionally Cleaned
Over a decade ago I worked at a lovely jewelry shop and we sold wedding rings. We would gladly clean them for our customers and it only takes about 10 minutes. You can actually take your rings to any jewelry shop and they will clean your rings and check the prongs without batting an eye.
What Is Flashing
If your engagement ring happens to be white gold you can also have it “flashed” or “dipped”. You know its time to do this if your white gold ring looks less silver and more “less then silver”. Flashing or dipping is when your jewelry will re-coat your ring in white gold giving it it’s like new characteristics back. The acidity of your skin can play a roll in the frequency of needing to do this.
