Remember how dazzling your ring once looked? It wasn't your imagination; a clean diamond truly is a wonder to behold. Now, your diamond — or ruby or sapphire or emerald — can shine bright again. All it takes is a little cleaning. And no, you don't have to make a trip to the jeweler for that.

This magical $8 diamond cleaner from Amazon has got you covered. With more than 29,000 five-star reviews, it's an easy win. The Connoisseurs Diamond Dazzle Stik has customers raving. The pen-sized stick has a twist-dispense mechanism (like liquid eyeliner) that releases cleaning solution through a fine bristle brush. The formula is comprised of microfine cleaners, polishing agents and polymers, which restore diamond jewelry to its original brilliance. Mother's Day is next month — this makes the perfect gift-to-self, and is a great little present for friends, if you love to celebrate your mom-pals with a little something each May.

Easy to use

The Connoisseurs Diamond Dazzle Stik is a breeze to use. Just twist the base till a bit of blue cleaning solution appears on the brush. Dab onto the stone and the setting. Then rinse and dry the gem. Voila. Gorgeous, gleaming jewelry.

Many shoppers this pen’s ease of use, with one calling it "the best ring cleaner around."

"I was looking for something to clean up my wedding ring, and this absolutely did the trick..... Not only was it easy to use, but it makes my jewelry really shine," they said. "Whenever I use this and clean my ring, people tend to notice it more and I get so many compliments,"

Another raved: "This thing is my favorite! I have one of those super sonic jewelry cleaners (which I love), but it wasn’t cleaning the bottom of my diamond ring, causing it to look super cloudy even when the top of the diamond was clean! I finally bought this and with one clean my diamond looks like it did the day my husband proposed! It’s also super cost-efficient so I feel comfortable cleaning my ring any time it needs a touch up."

Impressive results

Thanks to this cleaner, one happy shopper reports her ring "sparkles like the day it was first place on my finger," 25 years ago. "Absolutely amazing ... No more trips to the jeweler for me," they gushed.

Another five-star fan wrote: "My engagement ring has been dull and lackluster for awhile. I've had it cleaned but it never seemed to get shiny again. Ordered this on a whim. One tip I read is that gemstones get dirty from the bottom so I made sure to get the bristles into the bottom of my ring. It was easy to get the bristles from the brush down into the bottom side for a good cleaning. It gets really foamy. It took a few minutes of cleaning but now my ring is finally shiny again! Very happy with how it turned out."

For just $8, the Connoisseurs Diamond Dazzle Stik is one of those purchases you'll be telling friends about for months. Or you can be a hero, buy a few and give them out to your besties. Shine on!
