How to Clean Diamond Jewelry
01
Mix warm water with a drop of mild dish soap in a small bowl.
02
Soak your diamond jewelry for 10 to 20 minutes to loosen dirt and oils.
03
Brush gently with a soft toothbrush, especially underneath the setting and around prongs.
04
Rinse under warm running water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
05
After cleaning, inspect each piece for loose stones or worn prongs.
Pro Tip: Pearls and softer gemstones need special care. Never soak them, just wipe gently with a damp cloth. If your jewelry includes different stones or metals, always follow the cleaning instructions for the most delicate material. Have questions? Contact us for personalized advice.
