Things You'll Need
Jeweler's cloth
Flannel cloth
Dish washing detergent
Small brush
If your diamond and pearl ring is looking dingy or dirty, a cleaning is in order. Cleaning a ring with a pearl and a diamond must be done carefully. While the diamond is a stone that can withstand many chemicals, the pearl is a soft stone that can't. Strong chemicals and many jewelry cleaning machines aren't suitable for pearls. It is, however, possible to get your ring clean without damaging the stones.
Step 1
Clean the ring daily using a jeweler's cloth. This will minimize the amount of dirt and grime on the ring. Alternatively, you can dampen a flannel cloth with warm water to clean the ring.

Step 2
Mix one teaspoon of gentle dish washing detergent in one cup of warm water. Mix until sudsy.
Step 3
Soak the ring in the mixture for five minutes.
Step 4
Dampen a small brush, like an eyebrow brush, with the solution.
Step 5
Scrub the ring gently using the small brush, dipping it into the mixture as often as necessary.
Step 6
Rinse the ring off with warm water.
Step 7
Wipe dry with a clean piece of flannel or jeweler's cloth.
Tip
If the ring is really dirty, go to a jeweler to have it cleaned. Using strong chemicals or "sonic cleaners" at home on a pearl may damage the stone and/or the settings. Check the stones on the ring to ensure they aren’t loose before cleaning the ring or wearing it. If any stones are loose, have a jeweler reset them.
