Nothing dazzles quite like a brand new diamond ring. It catches every light in the room and adds elegance and glamour to everyday life.
But after it’s been through several weeks of dust, dishwater, aerosols and pocket lint, it might appear to have lost some of its lustre. Never fear - by incorporating a few new habits into your life, you can keep your precious jewellery looking as lovely as the first day you saw it.
Before we outline some simple cleaning instructions for your diamond ring, let’s outline some of the most common causes of wear and tear.
Unless you live an extremely charmed life, your hands probably stay busy throughout the day, and certain activities can cause wear and tear and even damage to your diamond ring.
Now that we’re familiar with common causes of wear and tear, let’s look at how you can safely clean your diamond ring.
To remove the inevitable build-up that comes from soap, lotions, dirt and grime, make a solution of warm water and a few drops of dish soap and soak for 20 to 40 minutes. Once done, gently brush your diamond with a soft toothbrush and rinse it with clean water.
You can let your ring air dry or you can dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Don’t use a paper towel as paper can scratch your ring’s finish. Some people place it on a soft towel and use their hair dryer.
If your ring has had an especially dirty day, you might want to give it a more thorough cleaning. For a gold diamond ring, combine one part Windex with one part Hydrogen Peroxide, and let your ring soak for 10 to 15 minutes. The Windex removes build-up and the Hydrogen Peroxide removes any bacteria that clings to your ring. Rinse and dry your ring gently.
For a silver diamond ring, combine 40 millilitres of baking soda with 125 millilitres of vinegar. Ensure the baking soda is dissolved in the vinegar before placing your ring in the solution. Let it soak for 2 to 3 hours before gently brushing with a soft toothbrush, rinsing and drying.
Occasionally, your ring may need more attention than you can give it at home. Inspect it regularly to make sure nothing is loose. Check the length of the prongs during your inspection and see that your stone is securely fitted in its setting.
If you’re concerned about its condition, take it to your jeweller right away. It’s best to address any issues immediately so you don’t risk further damage or the loss of your precious stone.
