Diamond Jewelry Care Guide

Diamond Care & Maintenance

While diamonds are the hardest natural material on earth, they still require proper care to maintain their eternal sparkle. Follow our professional guidelines to keep your diamond jewelry looking radiant for generations.

Daily Wear Guidelines

Last On, First Off

Diamonds attract grease and oils. Always put on your diamond jewelry after applying makeup, perfume, or lotions, and remove it first when returning home. Chemicals can dull the diamond's brilliance and may cause discoloration of metal settings over time.

Important Note

The hardness of diamonds makes them resistant to scratches, but they can chip if struck hard enough. Remove diamond rings before gardening, cleaning, or any manual work.

Wearing diamond ring

DO

  • Store pieces separately in soft pouches
  • Remove jewelry before swimming
  • Have prongs checked annually
  • Clean with mild soap solution
  • Wipe with lint-free cloth after wear

DON'T

  • Wear during heavy physical activity
  • Expose to chlorine or harsh chemicals
  • Clean with toothpaste or baking soda
  • Store pieces touching each other
  • Use ultrasonic cleaners too frequently

Professional Cleaning Guide

At-Home Diamond Cleaning Method

Prepare Cleaning Solution

Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap in a small bowl. Avoid using any cleaners with bleach or abrasives.

Soak the Jewelry

Place your diamond piece in the solution and let it soak for 20-30 minutes. This loosens dirt and oil buildup.

Gently Brush

Using a soft-bristled toothbrush (baby toothbrushes work well), gently scrub the diamond and setting. Pay special attention to the underside where oil accumulates.

Rinse and Dry

Rinse under warm running water and pat dry with a lint-free microfiber cloth. Ensure the drain is closed or use a strainer.

Safety First

Never clean jewelry over an open drain. For fragile settings or jewelry with other gemstones, consult a professional jeweler before cleaning.
