Diamonds are supposed to be a woman’s best friend, so why don’t we treat them like it? If you are lucky enough to have a ring sporting one or several diamonds it is imperative that you take care of it properly. There is no denying that this piece of jewelry would have marked a significant investment and more often than not these rings have a special meaning as well.
You must ensure your investment was worthwhile and that the meaning lasts for eternity by looking after your ring properly. You need to know how to clean your jewelry and store it properly if you want the sparkle of the diamonds to last for years and years to come. So, let’s jump right in…
How do you clean a diamond ring?
The process of cleaning your diamond ring is a lot easier than you may imagine. All you will need is isopropyl alcohol, a tissue, and a small bristle brush. Begin by getting yourself a small bowl and pouring in just enough isopropyl alcohol in order to cover the ring. You are then going to place the ring in the bowl for a minute or two. Once this time has passed remove the ring and then brush it with the small bristle brush. You need to make sure you are gentle, however, you must get into all of the awkward areas – such as the space by the prongs. Once you have finished this you should then place the ring back in the bowl of isopropyl alcohol for another two minutes. Finish the process by allowing the ring to dry on top of the tissue. Easy, right?
How do you store your diamond rings?
You don’t only need to know how to clean your diamond ring, but you also need to know how to store it properly as well. Storing your belongings the right way is something that can definitely prolong the life of them. You don’t want your ring to be exposed to outside elements. The more airtight the space is the better. Furthermore, you don’t want it to be touching any other pieces of jewelry because this can easily lead to scratches. The best thing to do is buy one of the small jewelry pouches and place the ring in the pouch – never group several together.
What do you do if something happens to your ring?
This is where finding a good company for jewelry repair comes in handy. If your ring breaks or the prongs need to be tightened, or anything else is wrong with your gorgeous ring, you need to find someone with experience to help you.
So there you have it: everything you need to know about how to look after diamond jewelry the right way.
This is good information to know, thank you so much for sharing! I haven’t had mind professionally cleaned since I got them resized around a year ago. I just put them in the box that they came in every night when I go to sleep.
