How to Polish Rings With Bread

With all the emphasis on GOING GREEN why not find a natural way to clean your rings using slices of white bread? It doesn't cost much because you usually have bread in the house. It doesn't take as long as jewelry soaking; so it is something you can do within minutes in your kitchen. 

1 Cut the crust off the bread.

2 Form a ball with the white section of the bread. Add just enough water to your hands to allow the bread to become wet and doughy.

3 Making sure your hands are over the bowl, place the ring in the center of the ball. The bowl will catch the bread and ring in the event you accidentally drop them.

4 Place the ball firmly in your hands and begin rubbing the ring with the wet bread. Make sure the faucet is running at a slower rate at this point. The bread will begin to form a paste in your hands.

5 Continue rubbing the ring with the paste. Do not worry about any of the bread paste getting into crevices as it will wash out in the next step.

6 When you are satisfied with the ring's cleanliness and sparkle, increase the flow of water and rinse the ring completely, removing all paste that may have become trapped.

7 Wipe the ring with a clean cloth removing all excess water and paste.

How do you make a simple ring?

The important part in making the ring is that choosing its size before we make it. Normally when a person says he need a 23 size ring we should do it 3-4 size small. If we are doing it in silver clay we should do it 2 sizes big. If it’s in the metal it should be done 3-4 size small , that would be 19-20 size. We should do the band of the ring first. Then we should do the bezel separately.

The bezel size depends on the size of the stone we fitting on it. Normally if you want to see your stone better and if it’s a single stone setting ring then 22.0 size stone would be better. This size stone brings out the beauty of the ring out. The bezel should be done according to the size of stone we using on the ring, but the stone should not be fitted to the bezel.

Then we should cut the band ring in the top middle, a single line.

Then have to put the ring on the metal ring sizer and bring it to the correct size.

Then take the ring out the ring sizer and fit the bezel to it and have to solder it good. Then let it cool in the cool water. After the fitting of the bezel we should file the ring and make it look perfect and polish it good. We can do 2-3 coat of polishing. After every coating we should put the ring in the boiling shampoo water for few minutes. After this process the ring will be polished well. Then we can start the stone fitting on it. Once the stone is fitted we can use a cloth to wipe the ring and bring out the shining.
