The core method of cleaning diamond jewelry is to use a neutral detergent with a soft brush to gently scrub it, and perform professional maintenance regularly. The specific operation can be divided into the following steps:
- Home cleaning method
1) Soaking method with cleaning liquid (recommended)- Add neutral detergent or special jewelry cleaning liquid to warm water and soak the diamond jewelry for 15-30 minutes.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently brush the bottom of the diamond, the gap between the ring setting and other places that are prone to accumulation of dirt.
- After rinsing, wipe dry with a lint-free cloth (such as a diamond wiping cloth) to avoid residual water stains.
- Soak in cold water for 30 minutes and then brush, or use warm water with a small amount of soapy water to soften the grease.
- Suitable for daily minor stains, but limited effect on stubborn oil stains.
Spray with jewelry cleaning spray, let it stand for 10 seconds, and then gently brush and rinse.
* Tips: Avoid using toothpaste or alcohol containing abrasive particles, which may damage the metal ring setting. * - Professional maintenance suggestions
1) Ultrasonic cleaning: It is recommended to send it to the jewelry after-sales center for ultrasonic deep cleaning every six months to one year, but use it with caution when the ring is group-set or the ring setting is loose.
2) Ring setting safety check: During professional cleaning, the firmness of the claws can be checked simultaneously to prevent the diamond from falling off. - Precautions
Avoid contact with chemicals: Such as cosmetics, bleach, etc., which may cause the ring setting to change color.
Wearing habits: Take off diamond jewelry when cooking or exercising to reduce grease and collision.
Storage method: Store it separately in a velvet bag to avoid friction with other jewelry. - Typical mistakes
❌ Use sharp objects such as toothpicks to clean the gap (easy to scratch the ring setting)
❌ Rinse with high-temperature water (may affect the stability of the ring setting metal)
❌ Long-term cleaning (grease oxidation will permanently reduce the diamond fire)
The above methods can maintain the diamond fire and the metal luster of the ring setting. If the diamond jewelry is inlaid with other gemstones (such as emeralds), it is necessary to consult a professional organization to choose a suitable cleaning plan.
