Warm water should be sufficient for this to work. If you have concerns about the stone, however, I would take it to your local jewelers for a professional cleaning! Many won't charge for this service! It would help if you also knew what the stone is?<br /><br />Best,<br />Peggyplcpeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881493670348666660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20984582.post-39599741901085581362017-09-05T14:23:42.623-07:002017-09-05T14:23:42.623-07:00Hello!

I would not use boiling, just hot, water, and rinse very well before drying.

You don't want to shock any stones with boiling hot water (could crack or discolor, depending on the stones). <br /><br />For fine jewelry, it's always best to take it to a professional cleaner. Most jewelry stores will prob clean your ring for free!<br /><br />best,<br />peggyplcpeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881493670348666660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20984582.post-59611415028263008242015-09-02T11:48:00.665-07:002015-09-02T11:48:00.665-07:00 Hi Peggy!
