When you buy products from Serendipity Diamonds, you are assured of owning an excellent, shiny diamond jewelry. Yet dust, grime, salts from your sweat, and oil from your skin will leave a film of dirt on your diamond jewelry after some time. If left for too long, that film of gunk can block the light that shines through the diamond, making the jewel appear dull and lifeless.
Here are some ways on how to clean your diamond jewelry so it will shine and sparkle forever.
1. Blend a solution of mild liquid detergent and water in a bowl. Put your diamond jewelry in the solution and set aside for a few minutes.
2. Take a soft brush; a jeweler’s brush is best but an old toothbrush would do just fine. Swish the jewelry around the solution, and gently brush the entire piece. Mind the key word—gentle. Rinse the piece after a thorough brushing then dry it with a lint-free cloth.
3. At times, you might notice that the gunk has become so thick that it is actually visible as an unsightly crust of dirt. Take a sharpened toothpick or an old dental explorer to take the crust away. Take great care when you do this to avoid damaging the diamond or metal.
4. If the diamond in your jewelry piece has not been fracture filled, make a blend of ammonia and water instead of detergent and water. Follow the steps as explained previously.
5. If your jewelry piece has other gemstones in addition to diamonds, opt for the detergent-and-water-solution approach. Never use other chemicals since the harmful compounds in these substances may damage softer stones.
6. If the film of dirt is very difficult to remove even with the methods described above, you can try ultrasonic cleaning. This high-tech type of cleaning involves high-frequency sound waves that are used to knock off the dirt. You may need to drop by a jewelry cleaning shop to have your jewelry cleaned this way.
7. Protect your jewelry from chlorine. Take away the pieces before entering a pool or before hand-washing things with a chlorine-based cleaning fluid.
