Care & Maintenance

Diamond Care Tips

Remove Before Showering

Avoid soap buildup by taking off your diamond jewelry before showering. Let it soak in a gentle cleaning solution while you wash.

Clean with a Soft Toothbrush

Use warm water and a soft toothbrush to gently clean dirt and buildup from the diamond and its prongs.

Avoid Creams and Sprays

Remove jewelry before applying creams, makeup, hairspray, or perfume to prevent buildup and tarnish.

Use Ultrasonic Cleaners with Care

These devices clean well but may loosen diamonds in their settings, requiring repairs later.

How to Clean a Ring

Mix warm water with a bit of washing-up liquid to create a soaking solution. Soak your ring for 15–30 minutes, then dry it with a soft cloth. Use a soft toothbrush to clean prongs and remove any buildup inside the ring.
