How to clean your diamond jewelry.

"Protecting Your Diamond"

Your diamond holds a lifetime of dreams. So of course you’ll want it to always radiate as brilliantly as the first day you slipped it on. Fortunately, the task of caring for your diamond is quite simple.

Even though diamonds are the hardest substance known to man, a diamond will scratch another diamond. So it is important that jewelry not be stored together since it can be scratched or tangled. Also, diamond jewelry should never be worn while doing heavy work. Points are vulnerable to chipping and even everyday activity can loosen a setting. This is why it’s important to visit a professional jeweler every six months to have your diamond’s mountings and settings checked.

"Cleaning Your Diamond"

To ensure your diamonds always sparkle, it is important to periodically clean them. Here are some recommended methods.

Professional Cleaning
This is the best option. It’s also important to have your jewelry checked occasionally to make sure prongs haven’t bent or weakened.

Mild Liquid Detergent
Soak your jewelry in a small bowl with warm, sudsy water made with any mild liquid detergent. Gently brush the diamond jewelry with a soft toothbrush while it is in the suds. Then, rinse each piece under warm running water. Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Make sure to always stopper your sink.

Household Ammonia
Place the jewelry in a small bowl containing a half-and-half solution of ammonia and cold water for thirty minutes. Lift out and gently tap around the front and back of the mounting with a small soft brush. Swish in the solution a second time, rinse and drain on tissue paper.

Jewelry Cleaners
Use any brand name liquid jewelry cleaner and follow the instruction given on the label.

Vodka on the Rocks
No one is sure how it was actually discovered, but it is safe to say that at some point someone took the idea of a "vodka on the rocks" literally and discovered an imaginative way to clean their precious diamonds. Simply let the diamond soak in a glass of vodka. Preferably one you do not intend to consume.

Diamond jewellery looks beautiful forever but sometimes they lose some shine and spark. To maintain that shine is very easy. You can do it at your home only. All you need is a good toothbrush and a bowl fill it with luke warm water. Gently rub the diamond in the areas of the jewellery.

Hello,
Me too! It makes me like her even more. When did it become the standard for celebrities to always have to have $250,000 rings?
Thanks.

I really like the information that is shared over here. It is really very useful as most of the people are unaware of cleaning the jewellery at home.

To clean the diamond you must avoid very hot water and bleach. They both can easily damage your diamond jewelry but use only dish detergent with the water.
