How To Care For Your Diamonds

                                        Handle your Diamond sparingly

Diamonds are natural magnets for grease;  they're not easy to keep clean.  Handling a diamond with your fingers provides enough oils from your skin (the type of "grease" that mostly affects diamonds)  to alter the way your diamond looks.  So less touching means your diamond remains clean and sparkling.

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

Jewellery Cleaner.  Use any reputed brand name jewellery cleaner and use it according to the instructions given on the label.  Avoid harmful solutions Chlorine (as in household bleach) or abrasives (such as household cleansers or toothpaste) should never be used when cleaning diamonds,  especially those which are set in jewellery.  These can erode some of the metals often used in diamond settings,  and may loosen claws,  or even dissolve the metal completely.

Ultrasonic Cleaner.  By sending high frequency sound waves through a detergent solution,  ultrasonic cleaners cause vibrating fluid to remove accumulated dirt and grime.  This method shouldn't be used on items such as pearls,  coral, emeralds,  peridots or fragile settings,  if in any doubt please contact us to arrange for a personal cleaning service.
