Your jewellery needs to be refreshed every now and then. While diamonds do not fade over time, the metal of your ring, as well as the crevices in your ring can accumulate dust and dirt. Cleaning your diamond rings will help keep them sparkling and shining. While it may sound tricky, it’s simple to clean your jewellery in your own home.
You’ll be saving money cleaning while getting the best shine from your beloved diamonds. This method works best on all forms of jewellery.
How to Clean Your Diamond Rings at Home
Place Your Rings in Water
Fill a small bowl with warm water, then submerge your ring in water.
Add an Unscented Liquid Soap to the Water
Using unscented liquid soap that has no dyes or fragrances, is more beneficial for your diamonds. Regular dish soap can be harmful to your precious jewellery.
Mix the Solution, and Leave for 30 Minutes
Carefully begin to stir the solution, making sure that the diamonds move with you as you stir the water. You should start to see dust and dirt leave the ring as you stir the water. Leave them in the solution for around 30 minutes.
Rinse the Diamonds Off
Take them out and rinse off your ring with warm water. Using a microfiber cloth, pat them dry. This helps make sure that no dirt will transfer back onto your freshly cleaned diamonds.
Use a Toothbrush to Finish
Using a small soft-bristle brush, gently scrub your diamonds after the soak and dry to help remove any pieces of dust that may be stuck in the small crevices. Brushing will help dislodge the dust and will not remove the diamonds.
How Often to Clean Your Diamond Rings
It depends on how often you wear your diamonds. Since you are wearing your ring, you are most likely wearing it daily. It is best to clean your rings on a weekly basis. This will help keep the dirt and oils away, both of which can tarnish your rings. While it is cheaper and easier to clean your diamonds at home, it is also recommended to bring them in for a professional cleaning at least twice a year. At La Mine d'Or Jewellers, your engagement ring has complimentary cleaning and checkup every 6 months.
