Diamond and Jewellery Care: Tips for a Lifetime of Beauty
1. Clean Regularly to Maintain Sparkle
Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap.
Soak your diamond pieces for about 20-30 minutes.
Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub around the diamond and its setting.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
2.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals and Activities
Remove before swimming: Chlorine in pools and hot tubs can weaken the metal prongs or setting.
Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, and hairsprays: These products can create a film on the surface of your diamond, making it appear cloudy.
Take off during physical activities: Whether working out or doing household chores, it's best to remove your diamond rings or bracelets to avoid scratching or loosening the stones.
3. Professional Maintenance
Deep cleaning: Jewellers use professional-grade cleaning methods to remove any buildup that’s tough to reach at home.
Setting inspection: A jeweller will also check the integrity of your jewellery's setting and tighten any loose stones, ensuring your diamond stays secure.
