I personally just use fairy washing up liquid and a toothbrush on my jewellery but my mum always used to boil her diamond jewellery(which apparently you can only do if diamond)in a saucepan on the hob and they used to come up sparkling.She doesn't do this anymore,but now puts her rings in one of those washng nets(that you get with the tabs)and puts it in the dishwasher.
They come out really clean.

Mine's white gold - I assume it's too soft for co*ke? Diamonds and pink sapphires so it sounds like boiling it is out. I do have some vodka to hand though

Soak it in neat gin, then rinse under the tap. A soft toothbrush if necessary to clean any fiddly bits.

Martha would never wear something so cheesy

I always use toothpaste and a toothbrush on mine, my diamonds always come up a treat! I used to be a jeweller, but we didn't use toothpaste in the shop!!

put away that old 'saved for cleaning' toothbrush, wait till you have had a row with your DH then use toothpaste and HIS toothbrush comes up a treat and has an added layer of satisfaction.
