Always Remove Diamond Jewelry Before Showering
Soap can create a film and lead to buildup, dulling your diamonds over time. It's also a chance for your skin to breathe, and you can let your jewelry soak in a gentle cleaning solution while you shower!
Use a Soft Toothbrush to Clean Your Diamond
Cleaning your diamonds is simple with a soft-bristled toothbrush and warm water. This method helps reach between the prongs holding your diamond and gently removes any dirt or buildup from the stone.
Remove Diamond Jewelry When Applying Creams
To prevent buildup and dullness, remove your jewelry before applying creams like moisturizers or sunscreen. This avoids product getting trapped behind the diamond or between the prongs. It's also wise to apply hairspray, makeup, and perfume before putting on your jewelry, as these products can tarnish the prongs, clasps, and bands over time.
Exercise Caution with Ultrasonic Cleaners
Although ultrasonic cleaners are effective at removing dirt and grime from diamonds, the vibrations can sometimes cause the stones to shift or become loose in their settings. This could result in lost diamonds or the need for repairs later.
Gold Care
Daily wear exposes your jewelry to dirt and frequent bumps, which can cause wear and tear. To maintain its safety and cleanliness, follow these simple tips to help your gold jewelry remain in excellent condition for years to come.

How to Clean a Ring
Mix a small amount of dish soap with warm water to make a simple soaking solution for your gold jewelry. Immerse the ring in this mixture and let it soak for 15 to 30 minutes. After soaking, remove the ring and dry it with a soft, clean cloth. For any significant buildup, use a soft toothbrush to clean the prongs and the inner areas of the ring.
How to Clean a Necklace
Detach the pendant from the necklace. If the pendant features glued stones or embellishments, avoid soaking it. Instead, use a damp, clean cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For the chain, unclasp it and place it in a soapy water solution to soak. This will help remove dirt and residue. After soaking, wipe the chain with a clean cloth, taking extra care with delicate chains.
How to Clean Earrings
For hygiene, use an alcohol swab to clean the earring hooks that go through your piercing between wears. To clean the earrings themselves, especially if they have prongs and diamonds, use a soft toothbrush and warm water to gently scrub away any dirt. Dry with a soft cloth to keep your earrings sparkling and ready to wear.
