Even with the best of care, your diamond will eventually need cleaning. Whether through daily wear or storage, they will slowly lose their bright sparkle. Soaps, lotions and our natural skin oils can cause film and grime on diamonds and inhibit their brilliance.

If you would like to keep that Brilliance and Shine you will need to clean your diamonds from time to time. Remember that all it takes is a few minutes and a little care to keep that diamond as fiery as the day you first saw it.

You can use an small soft brush such as an eyebrow or lip stick brush and soap and
water to clean your jewelry. Simply use a bowl of warm sudsy water with a small amount of mild detergent and place your pieces in the mixture. Brush the diamonds with the soft bristles of the brush while they are in the suds. You will need to make certain that
you rinse them clear of the suds after cleaning them. You can also use a small kitchen
strainer such as a tea strainer to contain them while rinsing under warm water. Use
a lint free cloth, or a jewelry polish cloth to pat them dry.

If your diamonds are in need of a stronger
cleansing, you may want to use a liquid jewelry cleaner. Many cleaners can be purchased as a kit, and will include everything you need to clean your diamond jewelry. Make sure to read the labels to determine the one that is right for your diamonds and other types
jewelry, such as gold or silver.

And if you find yourself more the “high-tech type”, there are multiple ultrasonic cleansers on the market. These machines use high-frequency to create a cleaning motion.

Between cleanings, do what you can to keep from touching your clean diamonds with your fingers, and handle your jewelry by its edges when possible. These suggestions will help maintain their shine and brilliance for longer periods.
