Diamonds are known for their unmatched sparkle and timeless elegance—but even the hardest natural gemstone needs gentle, routine care. Over time, exposure to lotions, perfumes, dust, and natural skin oils can create a layer of buildup, causing your diamonds to appear dull. The good news? With simple care habits, you can keep your diamond jewellery looking as radiant as the day you brought it home.
Here’s a complete guide to maintaining the shine, clarity, and longevity of your precious diamond pieces.
1. Clean Your Diamond Jewellery Regularly
Diamonds attract oil and grime easily, so cleaning them every two to three weeks helps maintain their brilliance.
How to clean at home:
- Mix lukewarm water with a few drops of mild liquid soap.
- Soak your diamond jewellery for 15–20 minutes.
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub underneath the stone.
- Rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach and chlorine—they can weaken the metal and affect the stone’s setting.
2. Store Each Piece Separately
Jewellery pieces, especially diamonds, can scratch each other. Always store your items in individual pouches or soft-lined compartments.
For delicate pieces such as bangles, brooches, or necklaces with fine detailing, a structured jewellery box works best to prevent bending or snagging.
3. Remove Jewellery During Daily Activities
Although diamonds are durable, the metal they are set in may not be.
Remove your jewellery when:
- Exercising
- Cooking or cleaning
- Swimming (chlorine can damage metal)
- Applying lotions, hair sprays, or perfumes
This prevents unnecessary wear, discoloration, and buildup.
4. Have Your Jewellery Professionally Checked
At least once a year, have your jeweller inspect:
- Prongs and settings
- Clasps
- Any signs of loosening or wear
- Overall structural strength
This helps prevent stone loss and ensures your jewellery remains secure and safe to wear.
5. Keep Jewellery Away From Extreme Temperatures
Sudden temperature changes can affect the metal settings.
Avoid leaving your jewellery in cars, near heaters, or in direct sunlight for long hours.
6. Dry Thoroughly After Cleaning
Moisture trapped around a diamond’s setting can cause the metal to fade or tarnish. After cleaning, ensure that the piece is completely dry before storing.
