Nice ring!!! What do you use to clean it?

I put a piece of Reynolds Aluminum in a paper cup, covered the ring with baking soda, add some really hot water and let it sit for a few minutes. Stir it up a little and add some vinegar, it's going to erupt!. Take the ring out after fizzing stops and wipe it down...Repeat as needed until it starts to shine after wipe down...three times for this one. Then take a toothbrush with some silver polish and buff it out...:)

Since it has a stone in it, I wouldn't use hot water to clean it. You can try wiping it with baking soda or a silver cleaning cloth (you can buy these at most jewelry stores). Its not very dark so that should work. If there are areas that remain really dark, you can use Tarnex and a q tip to dab on the metal only and then wipe it off.
