The morning after I got engaged, I remember going for a run and being distracted by my new glittering engagement ring. I also remember wondering how long the shine would last – and the answer, of course, was not very long!

If you’re a do-it-yourself person like me, you might be wondering if there is a way to clean your engagement ring at home. And lucky for you, there is!

3. Soak for 5 minutes.
4. Scrub gently with an unused toothbrush.
5. Rinse the ring in warm water.
6. Use a soft cloth to wipe dry.
7. Repeat every six or so weeks.
