I have a confession to make: I used to take off my engagement and wedding rings ALL the time, which usually raised a few eyebrows amongst my other married friends.

Why? I wasn't having an affair, don't worry. I just couldn't bear them getting dirty or gunky so I would take them off every time I put on hand cream, washed my hands, went swimming etc.

That was then though and now I don't have to as I've found the perfect solution: an ultrasonic cleaner, which uses ultrasonic waves to help clean your jewellery using vibrations to dislodge oil, dirt and everything in between. You've probably seen them as you scroll through your FYP, completely transforming dirty jewellery into shiny, new pieces once again.

So, my expert recommendation as a jewellery magpie and devotee engagement ring up-keeper is acquiring a jewellery cleaning machine. I understand investing in one can be a bit confusing. From different sizes to frequencies, a perfect machine is bound to be available regardless of your needs. The best part is that they are all currently discounted this Cyber weekend.

If you're banking on the best jewellery deals and want to make sure your jewellery stays good as new throughout, now is a great time to invest in an expert machine to make the task easier.

How do jewellery cleaning machines work?

Easy, you just pop your jewellery into the basket (it also works for waterproof watches and glasses too), fill it with water and set the machine to run for under two minutes. Then, the jewellery comes up clean and looks as good as new. Seriously!

It's basically a smaller version of what they use in jewellery shops, and I tell you, my engagement ring has never looked so sparkly.

Below, I have included the (currently discounted) machine I use and love, as well as other stellar options on the market and some tools for on-the-go cleaning to ensure you keep your most prized possessions and future family heirlooms looking their absolute best.
