Cleaning and Carring for Your Diamond
Dirt, oils, and other buildups can greatly detract from a diamonds brilliance. No body wants that so here are some tips for ensuring that your diamond retains its shine.
Before you begin cleaning your diamond check to make sure that none of your stones are loose. You do not want to risk loosing a stone in your ring or earring.
Do not clean it over the sink or near any other type of drain. Use a bowl or small Tupperware container.
Toothpaste acts as an abrasive so do not use it on your jewelry because it can cause irreparable damage.
You can soak the diamond in a warm soapy mixture for about 30 minutes, then gently scrub and rinse with warm water. Use a soft brush and not anything that could scratch the diamond.
Ammonia and water can be used as well.
There are several home cleaners that can be bought as well. The ultrasonic cleaner is one popular home cleaner that is also popular among jewelers.
