How should I look after my diamond jewellery?

To care for your diamond jewellery, it's important to clean it regularly using a mild detergent and warm water. You can use a soft brush to gently scrub the diamond and its setting. Avoid exposing your diamond to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, or abrasive materials. Additionally, store your diamond jewellery separately from other pieces to prevent scratching.

How often should I clean my diamond jewellery?

It's recommended to clean your diamond jewellery at least once a month to maintain its brilliance and sparkle. However, if your jewellery is worn frequently or exposed to dirt and oils, more frequent cleaning may be necessary. Regular cleaning helps prevent the buildup of residue and keeps your diamond looking its best.

Can I use ultrasonic cleaners to clean my diamond jewellery?

Ultrasonic cleaners can be used to clean diamond jewellery, but it's important to exercise caution. While they can effectively remove dirt and grime from the surface of the diamond, they may also loosen or damage the setting, especially if it contains other gemstones or delicate materials. If you choose to use an ultrasonic cleaner, follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and avoid prolonged exposure.

Should I get my diamond jewellery professionally cleaned?

Professional cleaning is recommended for diamond jewellery that requires deep cleaning or has stubborn stains. Jewellers have specialised equipment and expertise to safely clean and restore your diamond jewellery without causing damage. It's a good idea to have your diamond jewellery professionally inspected and cleaned at least once a year to ensure its longevity and beauty.

Essential Diamond Care And Maintenance

Diamond jewellery is renowned for its sparkle and shine. To maintain its immense beauty and vibrancy, your diamond requires meticulous care. Caring for your diamond jewellery will help preserve its high quality.

There are various ways to take care of your diamond jewellery, from proper cleaning to storage. At GemTrove, we can assist you with all your diamond maintenance needs.

Our dedicated diamond jewellery experts also offer professional diamond cleaning and polishing. Aside from day-to-day care, we recommend your diamond jewellery is cleaned and polished by a professional once every two years. You should also have your jewellery checked for loose prongs and wear of mountings to ensure your diamond is secure in the setting.

Types Of Diamond Care

Caring for your diamonds is important. The three important criteria in diamond care are cleaning, wearing, and storing. Our simple guide will help you maintain the brilliance of your diamond and fine jewellery.

Cleaning

Cleaning should be a regular part of your diamond jewellery routine. To complete a proper cleaning routine with your diamond jewellery, use a soft, felt-less cloth. You can purchase the cloth from jewellery stores. A specific cloth is required because other materials such as tissues or face towels can leave scratches on the jewellery.

If your luxury item is also damaged attempting to clean it can often make it worse. We suggest taking it to a jewellery professional if this occurs to limit further damage.

Wearing

There is a lot of potential for surface damage when you wear your diamond jewellery. Certain tasks such as heavy manual labor, exercising at the gym, or using cosmetics can lead to blemishes and discoloration on your diamond jewellery.

For example, swimming pools are a common area where damage can occur. Swimming areas have various cleaning chemicals present in the pool or spa that can discolor or change the shape of your diamond.

To ensure your fine jewellery doesn't get affected by daily tasks, it's highly recommended to take your item off.

Storage

When you're not wearing your jewellery, it should be stored in a safe location. When you purchase your jewellery, the case provided with it is an ideal place for storage. A fabric-lined jewel case will keep your item safe and minimize chances of surface scratches. You should avoid storing items in a large group, as they may scratch against one another.
