Materials Needed

• Mild dish soap 

• Warm water 

• Soft-bristled toothbrush 

• Like a microfiber cloth, a soft lint free material. 

• Small bowl 

The Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

In a small bowl, mix gentle dish soap with warm water so you have your cleaning fluid ready. Make sure to avoid harsh chemicals and common cleaners which may ruin the metal and the diamond setting. 

• Put your diamond ring in the soapy solution and allow it to soak for 20 – 40 minutes. Soaking the ring, the dirt and grime come more easily away thus making a cleaner diamond and setting. 

• Lightly with a toothbrush use a soft-bristle and wipe clean the diamond and its ring. 

• Pay more attention when inspecting the back of diamond, as this is the area that dirt and pieces settle in most, unlike any other. 

• A soft circular push down on the metal surface will do the job with minimal risk of it getting scratched. 

• Never leave the drain uncovered or use a strainer to stop your ring from dropping down the drain. 

In order to provide the best care for your jewelry, choose soap-water or our professional cleaner pens.  Surface damage of both diamond and metal elements is caused by the use of these chemicals during production, which adversely affects the quality. 

Professional cleaning is advised, because although ultrasonic cleaners often are used, they do not always represent the safest and the most effective means for collecting diamond jewelry. The vigorous shaking action of the machines enables them to be able to delicately pick stones in antique rings and jewelry with several settings. 

If you choose products designed for the care of diamond jewelry, it is advisable to adhere to recommendations from the makers and count on professional jewelers.

In the End

When cleaning your diamond ring employ a delicate treatment using only mild soap water. In the interest of your ring’s appearance and build, avoid contact with corrosive substances and hard surfaces.
