How to take care of your Diamond Jewellery 

It is essential to take proper care of diamond jewelry if you want to keep it beautiful and long-lasting. While diamonds are durable, they can still be damaged or lose their sparkle if they are not correctly cared for. To keep your diamond jewelry in good condition, follow these tips:

Regular cleaning:

 

• • Make sure you clean your diamond jewelry regularly to remove dirt, oils, and other residues that can dull its shine.

• • A mixture of warm water and mild dish soap can be used to clean diamonds at home. Let the jewelry soak for 20-30 minutes, then gently scrub it with a soft toothbrush.

• • Clean a lint-free cloth thoroughly and pat it dry.

Avoid harmful chemicals:

 

• • Although diamonds can withstand most chemicals, chlorine, which is often found in cleaning products and swimming pools, can damage them. Chlorine should not be exposed to your jewelry.

Professional cleaning:

 

• • Consider having your diamond jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected by a jeweler every 6-12 months. They can check for loose stones and ensure the settings are secure.Storage

Storage:

 

• • Store your diamond jewelry separately from other jewelry to prevent scratches.

 

• • Use a soft cloth or a jewelry pouch to protect your diamonds from dust and moisture when not in use.

Avoid contact with lotions and oils

 

• • Remove your diamond jewelry when applying lotions, oils, or perfumes, as these substances can create a film on the diamond’s surface, reducing its brilliance.

Be gentle:

 

• • Be gentle when wearing your diamond jewelry. Avoid hitting it on hard surfaces, as diamonds can chip or crack.

Check the Prongs and Settings:

 

• • Periodically inspect the prongs and settings to ensure they are holding the diamond securely. Loose settings can lead to lost stones.

Ultrasonic cleaners:

 

• • While ultrasonic cleaners are generally safe for diamonds, they can sometimes loosen stones that are not adequately secured. Use them with caution and only if you are sure your jewelry is in good condition.

Professional resizing:

 

• • If you need to resize a ring, make sure to use a reputable jeweler who specializes in diamond settings. Improper resizing can damage the setting or the diamond.

Safe travel:

 

• • When traveling with your diamond jewelry, store it securely in a travel jewelry pouch or a separate container in your carry-on luggage to prevent loss or theft.

Taking care of your diamond jewelry is an investment in preserving its beauty and value over time. By following these tips and being mindful of how you wear and store your jewelry, you can enjoy your diamonds for years to come.
