How to clean your diamond jewelry

Diamonds may be forever — but they still need a little care to stay brilliant. Over time, everyday dirt, oils, and lotion buildup can dull your sparkle. The good news? You don’t need a professional cleaner to keep your diamond jewelry looking its best.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to clean your diamond rings, earrings, necklaces, and more — right at home.
What You’ll Need:
-
A small bowl of warm water
-
A few drops of mild dish soap
-
A soft toothbrush (baby toothbrushes work great)
-
A lint-free cloth or microfiber towel
How to Clean Your Diamond Jewelry:
Step 1: Soak It
Place your diamond jewelry in the bowl of warm, soapy water and let it soak for 15–20 minutes. This helps loosen dirt, lotion, and oils.
Step 2: Gently Brush
Using the soft toothbrush, gently scrub around the diamond, prongs, and setting. Focus on areas where grime tends to build up — under the stone and in crevices.
Tip: Be gentle! Don’t scrub too hard, especially around delicate prongs.
Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse the piece under warm running water (plug the drain to be safe!). Make sure all soap is removed.
Step 4: Dry and Buff
Pat dry with a lint-free cloth and gently buff to bring back that shine.
What to Avoid:
-
Harsh chemicals like bleach or acetone — they can damage metals and dull the diamond.
-
Abrasive cleaners or brushes — they can scratch the surface.
-
Ultrasonic cleaners — unless approved by your jeweler, they can loosen stones in fragile settings.
How Often Should You Clean It?
-
At home: Every 2–4 weeks
-
Professional cleaning: Every 6–12 months for a deeper polish and setting check
Pro Care Tip:
Before cleaning, inspect your jewelry. If you notice a loose stone or bent prong, avoid brushing it and take it to a jeweler instead.
