Diamonds are not only a significant investment but also a symbol of everlasting beauty and love. To ensure your diamonds maintain their brilliance and sparkle for generations, proper care and maintenance are essential. In this guide, we’ll share expert tips and advice on how to care for your diamonds, keeping them as stunning as the day you bought them.
Daily Care Tips
Handle with Care
- Always handle your diamonds with clean hands to avoid transferring oils and dirt. When removing your jewelry, hold it by the edges instead of the stone to prevent smudges and fingerprints.
Avoid Contact with Harsh Chemicals
- Household cleaners, chlorine, and other chemicals can damage the surface of your diamond and its setting. Remove your diamond jewelry before using cleaning products, swimming in chlorinated pools, or applying lotions and perfumes.
Regular Cleaning
- Clean your diamonds regularly to maintain their shine. A simple home cleaning solution involves mixing warm water with mild dish soap. Soak your diamonds for 20-30 minutes, gently brush them with a soft toothbrush, and rinse with warm water. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Professional Maintenance
Annual Inspections
- Schedule annual inspections with a professional jeweler to check for loose settings, worn prongs, and any potential damage. Regular inspections ensure that your diamonds remain securely set and in optimal condition.
Professional Cleaning
- In addition to home cleaning, consider having your diamonds professionally cleaned once or twice a year. Professional jewelers use specialized equipment to remove built-up dirt and restore your diamond’s brilliance.
Re-Tipping and Prong Repair
- Over time, the prongs holding your diamond in place may wear down or become damaged. Re-tipping involves adding metal to the prongs to secure the diamond. Regular prong checks and repairs prevent the risk of losing your precious stone.
Caring for your diamonds ensures they remain as beautiful and brilliant as the day you first saw them. By following these tips and incorporating regular maintenance into your routine, you can keep your diamond jewelry sparkling for a lifetime.
