To keep your diamond sparkling clean and to look beautiful, there are some care tips you can follow to maintain the brilliance and shine of your precious ring.
Firstly, diamonds are pretty hardy. They don’t get scratched by much unless it is another diamond and can take their fair share of knocks.
Tips to care for your diamond
Store your ring in a padded box when you are not wearing it, separate from your other jewellery. Everyday wear can build up various layers of oils, creams, and cosmetic residue. The stone will dull with all of this excess debris on the surface. Bacteria can also build up on the ring, which may lead to skin irritation. You need to ensure you are cleaning your diamond and ring with the appropriate soap to not contribute to the build-up of residue on the ring.
When you see the sparkle start to wear away, you can begin your cleaning process by wiping it down with a lint-free cloth, using only warm water and mild soap.
Commercial cleaning solutions can also help, but be careful with what you choose. Steer clear of harsh household cleaning products and sanitisers. They will do more damage than good.
Cleaning your ring at home is easy. Simple dishwashing liquid will help cut through any oils and skin grease. Assist that with a soft-bristled toothbrush and warm water.
Professional Cleaning
If you need a more professional clean, your local jeweller can do a deep buff and polish and get it back to that super sparkle and shine. The added buffing can also help remove any fine scratches on your band, and they can also check to ensure the stone is still firmly in place.
