A Couple of Ring Tips

I went to the dentist this week for a regular checkup. I always bring with me the mouth guard I wear at night to prevent me from grinding my teeth. At each visit, the dental technician pops the guard into an ultrasonic device and gets it cleaner than I ever could at home.

And, as usual, I gave them the rings I wear on a daily basis so they could clean them, too:

The same machine cleans them all beautifully.

All the little crevices that fill up with hand lotion and dried-up soap (and whatever else I get my hands into) come out perfectly clean and free of gunk. My rings look like new!

If you have a little trouble getting your rings off, spray your fingers and rings with Windex first.

My jeweler taught me this trick. Something slithery in the chemical makeup of Windex helps tight rings come right off.

So visit your dentist regularly for beautiful teeth--and beautiful rings!

You'll be glad you did, on both counts.
