HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR DIAMOND JEWELLERY
Maintain your diamond’s sparkle with these useful tips.
A diamond is one of nature’s most beautiful creations. After the discovery of a rough diamond, a polishing and cutting process takes place to ensure the stone reaches its full potential. With the right amount of care and with the best diamond ring cleaner, you will be able to maintain your diamond jewellery’s exquisite beauty. Here’s what you need to know in order for you to handle and clean jewellery at home:
1. HOW TO STORE YOUR DIAMOND JEWELLERY
Keep your diamond jewellery in a safe place.
Storing your diamond jewellery in a safe place is not only important for security reasons, but it’s also important for you to ensure that your diamond jewellery remains in perfect condition. To protect the beauty of your diamond jewellery, keep each item separately. You could purchase a beautiful fabric-lined casing or jewellery box, which is specifically designed for keeping jewellery or alternatively you can place each jewellery item in a separate pouch or the jewellery box you received with your purchase. This way, your jewellery will be separate from other jewellery minimising the risk of scratching.
2. THE BEST WAY TO HANDLE YOUR JEWELLERY
Refrain from using any hand lotions or additional creams when wearing your jewellery.
A diamond is extremely durable and suited for everyday wear. But, to protect the sparkle of your diamond, place your jewellery in a soft pouch or box before you plan on doing any hard labour. For example, take your engagement ring off before you clean the house or wash the dishes. Rinsing your diamond jewellery with water will not have an effect on the diamond, but the grease and oil of other the chemicals might have an impact on the metal, setting and the stone. Try and refrain from using any hand lotions or additional creams when you’re wearing your jewellery. Your diamond might temporally lose its brilliance and luster and over time, grime might build up in between the setting causing less light to enter the diamond. This could possibly result in the diamond looking a lot less bright than usual. But, with a quick visit to your jeweller the diamond will be polished and cleaned back to normal. Remember to inspect the setting of your engagement ring now and again for peace of mind.
3. HOW SHOULD YOU CLEAN YOUR JEWELLERY
Dip the jewellery into water and wipe it off with a lint-free cloth for extra sparkle.
Before cleaning, inspect each diamond to make sure it is secure and again after each cleaning session. Keep your diamond jewellery clean by soaking it for 30 minutes in a solution of warm water and dishwashing detergent along with water, once a week. After the diamond jewellery has been soaked, lightly brush over the item with a soft brush; a soft-bristle toothbrush will be able to do the trick. Once the jewellery is clean, dip the jewellery into water and wipe it off with a lint-free cloth for extra sparkle. Keep the following into consideration when cleaning your diamond jewellery:
- Take your diamond jewellery for a yearly professional cleaning at your trusted jeweller. This way, you will be assured that your overall jewellery item will be inspected for general wear and tear.
- Refrain from using a powerful detergent that might have a negative impact on the setting and metal of the jewellery. Any bleach or acid-based products should be avoided altogether.
For the best results make sure to take your jewellery to a diamond engagement ring cleaner once a year. By doing this, you ensure to let the professionals take a look at the setting and the metal while they clean your diamond wedding ring. Before you know it, your diamond will be back to its full potential.
