Discover simple at-home and professional methods to clean your diamond jewellery and keep it dazzling for years to come.
Diamonds are forever — but only if you care for them properly! Whether you own a treasured heirloom or a stunning modern piece, keeping your diamond jewellery clean is essential to maintaining its brilliance and longevity.
In this guide, you’ll learn:
✔️ Easy at-home cleaning methods
✔️ Professional care options
✔️ Essential precautions to keep your diamonds dazzling
Why Should You Clean Diamond Jewellery?
Over time, dirt, natural oils, and cosmetics can build up on your jewellery, reducing its sparkle. Regular cleaning:
✨ Restores brilliance by removing grime
✨ Prevents scratches or wear from dirt build-up
✨ Helps maintain the long-term value of your jewellery
Essential Materials for At-Home Cleaning
Before you start, gather these safe and effective cleaning tools:
✔️ Mild dishwashing soap (gentle on metals and gemstones)
✔️ Warm water (to loosen dirt and oils)
✔️ Soft-bristled toothbrush or specialist jewellery brush
✔️ Lint-free cloth (for drying and polishing)
✔️ Small bowl (to mix your cleaning solution)
💡 Tip: Avoid harsh chemicals, vinegar, baking soda, or abrasive cleaners — they can damage your jewellery.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Diamond Jewellery
🔹1. Prepare the cleaning solution
Mix a few drops of mild dishwashing soap into warm water.
🔹2. Soak your jewellery
Place your diamond pieces in the solution for 15–20 minutes to loosen grime.
🔹3 .Gently brush the jewellery
Use a soft-bristled brush to carefully clean around settings and reach crevices.
🔹4 .Rinse thoroughly
Hold the jewellery under lukewarm running water to remove soap residue.
💡 Tip: Use a small strainer to avoid accidental drops!
🔹5 .Dry and polish
Pat dry with a lint-free cloth and gently buff to a shine. Avoid paper towels, as they can scratch metal surfaces.
Expert Tips for Long-Lasting Sparkle
✔️ Clean regularly — Wipe down after each wear; deep clean every 1–2 weeks.
✔️ Annual professional check-up — Visit your jeweller yearly for a thorough clean and to check that settings are secure.
✔️ Proper storage — Keep pieces in a soft pouch or a divided jewellery box to prevent scratches.
