Daily Care

Diamonds lose sparkle most often due to skin oils and everyday dust. Follow these habits to keep them brilliant:

  • Avoid exposure to high temperatures, intense source of heat and abrupt temperature changes.
  • Avoid exposure to salt and chlorinated water as well as lotions,perfumes, soaps, cosmetics or house hold chemicals.
  • Avoid wearing jewelry during activities that can expose it to abrasive contact or impact damages like sports, gardening, etc.
  • Be aware that gemstones can scratch other gemstones and abrade precious metals. Therefore, avoid stacking jewelry items that would be vulnerable to such abrasion.

At-Home Cleaning: Diamond Rings

If your diamond ring looks less brilliant after daily wear, it’s usually due to oil and dust buildup. Here’s a gentle way to clean it.

You’ll need: warm water, a small bowl, a small amount of ammonia, a soft toothbrush, and a soft knit or lint-free cloth.

  • Add a small amount of ammonia to a bowl of warm water.
  • Soak the ring for 10–20 minutes.
  • Gently brush the diamond and setting with a soft toothbrush; avoid scrubbing the precious metal to prevent scratches.
  • Dry with a soft cloth.

Tips:Do not use toothpaste to clean a diamond ring. It’s a common myth and may cause irreversible damage.If you prefer not to use ammonia, use mild dish soap with warm water and a lint-free cloth for everyday cleaning.

Storage & Travel

Proper storage significantly reduces scratches and wear on settings:

  • Store separately: Diamonds are extremely hard and can scratch other jewelry (and each other). Keep pieces in their original box, a soft pouch, or a compartmented jewelry case.
  • Avoid loose storage: Don’t mix rings and earrings with other metal jewelry to prevent micro-scratches and loss of luster.
  • Travel tip: Use a compartmented travel case and keep it in a consistent, secure place to reduce loss and impact risk.

Professional Care

We recommend a professional check and cleaning once a year to ensure the setting is secure and prongs remain strong.

Professional ultrasonic cleaning is especially effective for intricate designs, removing buildup in areas a brush cannot reach.
