Jewelry care guide

Diamond jewelry is dazzling. However, if you want to maintain its shining light for a long time, correct care is crucial. Here are some methods for caring for diamond jewelry:

I. Precautions for daily wear

1. Avoid collisions

  • Although diamonds are hard, they may also be damaged due to strong impacts. When engaging in intense sports, manual labor, or activities that may cause collisions, it is best to take off diamond jewelry and store it properly to prevent diamonds from loosening or being damaged.
  • When storing, place diamond jewelry alone in a soft jewelry box to avoid mixing with other hard objects and prevent scratching each other.

2. Stay away from chemicals

  • Diamond jewelry should stay away from chemicals such as perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaners. These chemicals may cause damage to the luster of diamonds and the metal parts.
  • Wear diamond jewelry after applying makeup, spraying perfume, and using cleaners to effectively reduce contact with chemicals.

3. Prevent oil stains

  • Diamonds are oleophilic and easily absorb oil stains. When cooking in the kitchen or in an environment with a lot of oil stains, it is best not to wear diamond jewelry to prevent the diamond surface from getting stained with oil stains and affecting its luster.
  • If the diamond surface is stained with oil stains, you can clean it with mild soapy water, then rinse it with clean water and dry it with a soft cloth.

 

II. Cleaning methods

1. Professional cleaning

  • Regularly send diamond jewelry to a professional jewelry store for cleaning and maintenance. Professional jewelry cleaning can remove dirt and impurities on the diamond surface and restore it’s shining light.
  • Generally speaking, it is recommended to have professional cleaning every six months to a year.

2. Home cleaning

  • You can use mild soapy water and a soft brush for home cleaning. Soak diamond jewelry in warm soapy water for about 15 minutes, then gently brush the diamond and metal parts with a soft brush, finally rinseit with clean water and dry it with a soft cloth.
  • Note that do not use overly strong cleaners or brushes to avoid damaging diamonds and metals.

 

III. Storage methods

1. Store separately

  • Diamond jewelry should be stored separately to avoid mixing with other jewelry to prevent scratching each other. You can use a special jewelry box or cloth bag for storage.
  • Some desiccants can be placed in the jewelry box to keep the environment dry and prevent diamond jewelry from getting damp and rusting.

2. Avoid direct sunlight

  • Diamond jewelry should be stored in a cool and dry place and avoid direct sunlight. Long-term sunlight exposure may cause diamonds to change color or the metal parts to fade.

 

Correct diamond jewelry care can extend its service life and keep your jewelry always shining. I hope the above care methods are helpful to you.
