Diamonds
can easily become dirty through normal activities, hand lotions,
and even beauty products such as for hair spray. Even mixing
diamonds with other jewelry can damage and possibly ruin a
diamond. It’s important to follow these rules when taking care
of a diamond.
-
When cleaning a diamond you should use a soft cloth and wash it
with any cleanser the jeweler provided. If no cleanser was
provided, you can use mild liquid detergent, Ivory is a good
example.
-
If dirt is found on your diamond a simple, soft brush can be
used to clean off the dirt. Make sure to check the bristles of
the brush; you don’t want anything too hard that could cause the
diamond to be scratched.
-
When cleaning the diamond, make sure to use warm water to rinse
off the cleanser.
-
Any type of cloth that is lint-free can be used to dry off the
diamond.
-
Cleaning a ring with a diamond should be done very carefully.
Make sure to not use any type of product that could ruin the
metal loop.
-
When cleaning a diamond ring that is surrounded by other gems,
make sure to use a cleaner that won’t damage the gems around the
diamond.
- Wearing gloves while cleaning a diamond is recommended.
-
Keep your jewelry in a box that is softly padded.
