HOW DO JEWELLERS GET RINGS SO SHINY?

THE ANSWER

Professional polishing. Jewellers use a motorised polishing wheel with special compounds. These remove tiny scratches from the metal surface. Each scratch scatters light. Remove the scratches and the metal reflects light cleanly. That gives the mirror finish. They also use an ultrasonic cleaner. It vibrates dirt out of every tiny gap in the setting. Then a steam cleaner blasts away remaining residue. The result is a ring that looks brand new. You cannot fully replicate this at home. But warm soapy water and a soft brush gets you most of the way there between professional services.
