The diamond in my wedding ring is a .91 carat VS1, colorless stone set in a six prong platinum setting.
One of the prongs has been slightly bent for several months now (I banged the headboard one night while sleeping!) and it seems like I can’t get my diamond to sparkle the way it used to.
I clean it on a regular basis by soaking it in hot water with a little bit of dish soap and then lightly scrubbing it with a soft toothbrush. It will still sparkle but it doesn’t seem quite as brilliant as it did before I bent the prong. Am I just imagining things?
I know I need to get it fixed and my ring is insured but the only people I trust with my diamond are the folks at USAA (and that requires paying for costly mailing insurance plus the cost of fixing it.)
Should I just clean it differently? Someone suggested windex the other day…
