How to Care for Your Diamond Jewelry
Keep your precious pieces sparkling with these expert tips on cleaning, storing, and maintaining your diamond jewelry.
Your diamond jewelry is an investment worth protecting. With proper care, your pieces will maintain their brilliance for generations. Here are our expert tips for keeping your diamonds dazzling.
Daily Care
- Remove your jewelry before applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray
- Take off rings before washing dishes or cleaning
- Avoid wearing jewelry during exercise or physical activities
- Put your jewelry on last when getting dressed and take it off first
Cleaning at Home
You can safely clean most diamond jewelry at home:
- Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap
- Soak your jewelry for 20-30 minutes
- Gently brush with a soft toothbrush, paying attention to the underside of the setting
- Rinse thoroughly under warm running water
- Pat dry with a lint-free cloth
Professional Maintenance
We recommend having your jewelry professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year. A jeweler can check prong tightness, look for loose stones, and give your pieces a thorough cleaning.
A diamond may be forever, but its setting needs regular attention to keep it secure and beautiful.
Storage Tips
- Store each piece separately to prevent scratching
- Use soft pouches or lined jewelry boxes
- Keep jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
- Consider using anti-tarnish strips for silver settings
