How do you clean fire damaged jewelry?
Depending on how bad the soot is on the ring you may need to try a couple of things. Many times a jeweler will need to polish the ring to get the shine back, but you can try these things first. A solution of Mr. Clean, Ammonia, and water can be used to soak the jewelry in. This is the same solution that jewelers use in their ultra sonic to clean jewelry. You can also try using a polishing cloth to remove some of the surface soot. These suggestions only work if the soot is light. If there are stones, a jeweler will need to remove the stones and polish the area under where the stones were set. Dullness under the stones will keep the diamonds from sparkling.

How is cemente made?
Cement (as in Portland type cements) is made by heating limestone to 1450 degrees C, then grinding the result into fine powder and adding a small amount of clay. When mixed with sand, stones, or other aggregates, the result is concrete.Cement hardens by hydration, absorption of water, and not by drying.A mixture of sand, rock, and clay containing several stones and metals is ground up and heated in a silter. It is then mixed with water and as it dries, it hardens into cement.For elements are needed to make cement; Calcium, Silicon, Aluminum and Iron. These can be found in limestone, sand and clay. The components are crushed and made into a fine powder. When mixed with water, the components bind. When mixed with sand and gravel, it forms concrete. See the following link for a nice page on how cement is made: http://www.buildeazy.com/newplans/eazylist/cement.html Ferro Cement is another type of cement. The definition of which can be found here: http://ferrocement.com/intro-Ferro/intro.en.html
What is the function of cement in making concrete?
Cement, or more correctly, Portland cement, named after the person who perfected making it, is essentially limestone that is burned in a kiln, then pulverized to a fine, fine dust. Think of Portland cement as 'Instant limestone', because when you mix it with water, the water chemically combines with the cement to form a hard, hard product that is durable, has high compressive strength, and resembles limestone. After the Portland cement dust is made, it is mixed with a large proportion of clay -- just plain, ordinary potter's clay -- and also a bit of gypsum and other trace ingredients that all work to make the cement set up harder and faster. In concrete, Portland cement makes the concrete "cure", to set up, that is, to chemically combine with the water. The product is a very durable, very strong, very fast-curing aggregate, using sand and stones to fill in between each other and the cement particles.

Let cement cure about 1 hour than use back filler or stick of wood to smooth joints flush 10.Use a semi stiff brush to clean dried cement off of stones and to clean up joints. 11.wait a couple of days and wash with 3/4 water to 1/4 hydrocloric acid.Get wall wet with water first than brush on water and acid solution.Wear rubber gloves and eye protection.Should bubble up.Wash solution off after about 10 mins.Make sure to run plenty of water to remove all of solution.If inside same but don't need house wrap can use tar paper.
