We understand that your jewelry is a valuable possession and keeping it clean and shiny is top priority!
Getting your diamond jewelry professionally cleaned by jewelers is a good option. However, cleaning it at home for everyday use is also a great way of maintaining its brilliant sparkle. Here are the best ways to take care of your fine jewelry from the comfort of your home.
Cleaning Your Jewelry
The best way to clean your jewelry at home is to use a mix of mild detergent-free liquid and warm water.
Here is the step by step breakdown:Mix warm water with a few drops of mild detergent-free dish soap in a bowl.Soak each piece of diamond jewelry individually into the liquid mix for overnight.
Now take aĀ softĀ brush, this is important as a hard brush can potentially scratch the gold part of the jewelry.
Dip the brush into the same liquid and scrub each piece of jewelry gently for a thorough cleaning.
Once youāre done cleaning it, rinse the jewelry in warm water.
Finally, dry the jewelry with a soft lint-free cloth. Something you can do more regularly to keep your jewelry shiny and clean at all times is to use a soft, non-abrasive and lint-free cloth to clean it gently.
We recommend using a chamois cloth.
Storage and Care Ā
Equally important is storing your fine jewelry the correct way to ensure that it doesnāt get scratched or accumulate dirt over time.
Protect Your Jewelry Against Scratches and Tangles
Store your jewelry in a soft and clean environment to avoid dirt and scratches. Diamonds are one of the hardest substances on earth. You should ideally store your jewelry pieces individually to make sure they donāt scratch against other gemstones or metals.If you want to store them in a jewelry box make sure it is lined with an ultra-soft fabric.
What To AvoidUsing Abrasive Chemicals
Steer clear of harsh chemicals such as bleach, acetone or powdered detergent to clean your fine jewelry. Avoid wearing your diamond jewelry when cleaning dishes, bathing, gardening or doing housework for abrasive cleaners and chemicals found in certain products can damage metals and gemstones. Ā
Applying Lotions, Makeup and Perfume After Putting on Your Fine Jewelry Ā
The chemicals found in perfume, hairspray, make-up, nail polish remover, sun-tan lotion, body oils and deodorant can also be harmful to your diamond jewelry - best to use theseĀ beforeĀ putting your jewelry on when getting ready.
Excessive Physical Activity
It is best to avoid playing tactile sports for high pressure impacts on your diamond jewelry can loosen the setting. Another consequence of strenuous physical activity is excessive sweating. Sweating and dirt build up can over time dull the appearance of your diamond jewelry.
