Is There a Correct Way to Clean a Diamond Engagement Ring?
To keep your diamond in tip-top shape, it needs to be cleaned routinely. Harsh household chemicals, lotions, and hairsprays can cause buildup on your ring, making it look cloudy. Although your jeweler can professionally clean and polish your ring, you can also achieve that brand-new sparkle at home by following these easy steps:
# Mix warm water and a mild liquid soap. You can also use a store-bought jewelry cleaning solution.
# Place the ring in the solution and take a soft toothbrush to clean the diamond, taking care to get into all the crevices underneath and in between the setting.
# Rinse with warm water.
# Dry with a lint-free cloth.
When you’re done, you should have a diamond that will reflect the maximum amount of light so it’s as shiny as the day you received it. One last tip: Remember to clean your ring away from the sink so you don’t risk losing it down the drain.
