Diamond Care

Keep Your Diamonds Sparkling with Regular Cleaning

While diamonds are known for their brilliant shine and toughness, they have an interesting property — they have a natural affinity for grease. This is actually utilized during diamond mining, where diamonds stick to a grease belt while other minerals are filtered out. However, this characteristic also means that diamonds will attract grease and oils from everyday contact. Over time, this grease, combined with dust and pollutants from the air, settles around and under the diamond, dulling its brilliance and sparkle.

To maintain the dazzling shine of your diamond Jewellery, it is essential to clean it regularly, ensuring it looks as beautiful and brilliant as it did when you first purchased it.

Step-by-Step Guide to Clean Your Diamond Jewellery:
  1. Prepare a Cleaning Solution:
    • In a small bowl, mix warm water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid. This solution will effectively break down the oils and grease that accumulate on your diamond Jewellery.
  2. Submerge Your Jewellery:
    • Gently place your diamond Jewellery into the bowl and allow it to soak for a few minutes. The warmth of the water combined with the dishwashing liquid will begin to loosen any grease and dirt that may be dulling the diamond’s sparkle.
  3. Gently Brush Away Dirt:
    • If you notice some stubborn dirt or residue that doesn’t dissolve on its own, use a soft-bristled brush (such as a toothbrush with gentle bristles). Gently brush around the diamond and the setting to remove any dirt that may have settled, being careful not to damage the piece.
  4. Rinse Thoroughly:
    • After cleaning, rinse your jewellery under running lukewarm water to remove any soap film left behind. It’s essential to ensure that all the dishwashing liquid is removed, as soap residue can cause the diamond to appear cloudy.
  5. Dry with a Soft Cloth:
    • After rinsing, carefully dry your jewellery with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid using paper towels or rough fabrics that could scratch the surface of the diamond or its setting.
Additional Tips for Diamond Jewellery Care:
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never clean your diamonds with bleach, chlorine, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the metal setting or affect the stone.
  • Clean Regularly: Regular cleaning, at least once a month, will ensure your diamonds retain their brilliance. However, if you wear your jewellery every day, you may need to clean it more frequently.
  • Store Properly: When you’re not wearing your diamond jewellery, store it in a soft pouch or jewellery box to prevent it from getting scratched or exposed to dirt.

Diamonds are the hardest natural material on Earth, which means they can easily scratch softer metals and other Jewellery pieces. When storing diamond Jewellery, it's advisable to keep it away from other items in your collection. Here’s why:

  • Use Individual Pouches or Soft Cloth Pouches to prevent starching
  • Jewellery Box with Compartments:
  • Avoid Storing Diamond Jewellery Together:
  • Consider Using Soft Cloth or Tissue for Extra Protection:
  • Store in a Cool, Dry Place
