1. Periodic Cleaning for Long-term

Though diamonds are much harder, it is well known to attract some dirt, oils, and dust, which can refrain them from shining bright as it would be desired to. This means that diamond jewelry is cleaned several times per week. Clean diamond jewelry from your own home by soaking a diamond bracelet or even your engagement rings in a solution of mild dish soap and warm water for 15 to 20 minutes. Then clean the outside with a soft-bristled toothbrush under warm, running water. Pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

2. Pro Shine Cleaning

In fact, although home cleaning may be good,  taking  your diamond jewelry through professionals every 6-12 months is important in order to ensure that they are at their best. Professional cleaning by Dhirsons Jewellers does not only clean your diamond earrings and your diamond necklace but will also check that your settings are secure and undamaged. Diamond engagements rings will be kept as dazzling as the day they were first presented to you with professional cleanings.

3. Storage Safety Practices

Storage is something that most people forget to do, but storage can also help avoid scratches on your diamond jewelry. Place your diamond earrings and diamond bracelet in a soft-lined jewelry box featuring separate areas for your pieces so they do not rub against other ones. If you travel a lot, you should invest in individual pouches for your diamond earrings and diamond necklace so that they do not scratch each other.

4. Chemical Damage

Some of the strong chemicals will rust the setting and dull the shine of your diamond jewelry. When  you are cleaning in the house or swimming in chlorinated swimming pools take off your diamond bracelet and the engagement rings, thus preventing them from exposure to chemicals that will strip them of their shine and quality. Dhirsons Jewellers advise our customers to protect their diamonds from chemical damage.

5. Regular Inspection and Maintenance

Just like any high-priced jewelry, your diamond will be taken out from time to time to wear. Sometimes settings of diamond necklaces or diamond earrings loosen up, and loose stones get lost. Dhirsons Jewellers recommends that your diamond engagement rings for women should be check out annually by a professional jeweler for signs of wear and tear and that your diamonds are secure and flawless.

6. Wearing with Care

Though diamond is the hardest substance known on earth, it is still not indestructible. So while engaging in athletics or lifting heavy weights, be cautious regarding your diamond jewelry and avoid wearing them so that they do not get into harsh conditions. Dhirsons Jewellers always guide their customers on the proper care of their diamond pieces so that they can last longer.

Where they would succeed in removing dirt from the diamond, it would loosen the settings of the diamond engagement rings or the diamond necklace, especially if delicate or intricately designed. It is best to bring them in to Dhirsons Jewellers for professional cleaning so that you have no possibility of damage.
