Taking Care of Ruby Rings
( By Vishnu Batwara )

Ruby rings are one of the most popular types of ruby jewelry. Most of the rings are really expensive. Therefore, it makes sense to care for them in a proper manner.

Here are some tips to take care of the expensive ruby rings:

* The most important tip is to remove the ruby rings before lifting something heavy or working in the garden or the yard. This is because the rubies are delicate gems and can easily break down; hence it is important to protect them from any damages.
* The rings can easily be cleaned with the help of a good commercial solvent. The solvent's package also includes a brush with really soft bristles which can be used to scrub the jewelry. Once the rings are cleaned, they have to be washed with warm water and dried using a really soft towel. One may also use some warm soapy water in the absence of a commercial solvent.
* rings may be soaked in vodka or alcohol overnight. It will help to remove the debris easily. This is especially helpful in removing the dirt that is really hard to take off, even with the help of a commercial jewelry cleaner.
* After the rings are removed from the fingers, they should be cleaned by wiping them with a piece of soft cloth. This is done to remove any body salts or oils that stick on the rings as well as the rubies, themselves.
* One should always make sure that the r.rings are cleaned with the help of a cloth and then kept away safely in a plastic bag. When the r.rings are stored this way, it helps to keep them clean. Also, it protects them from any potential damage.
* It is important to take the r.rings to the jewelers once in a while, as the jewelers can clean the rings through ultrasonic cleaning.
* One should make sure that no abrasive cleaners are used to clean the ruby rings. Some people use toothpaste to clean the ruby rings, however it should be avoided at all costs.

Also efforts should be made to avoid exposing the ruby rings to any form of harsh chemicals. One has to be very careful with the ruby rings. Special efforts have to be made to make sure that the chemical filled products, like perfumes and hairsprays do not come in contact with the jewelry.
