Tips to sparkling your Diamond
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010
There are different cleaning processes you can use to keep it looking as brilliant and sparkling as the day you brought it home from the jeweler. sometimes the warranty include cleaning process, so you should check back your agreement.
Detergent Bath
The most commonly used method of diamond care is cleaning your diamond in a mild, warm water detergent bath. Fill a bowl with warm water, and add in a mild detergent that you have in the house. Some people use a dish detergent, while others will use a gentle bathroom cleaner. Using a toothbrush or eyebrow brush, gently brush your diamond with the sudsy water to loosen any dirt and oil that have found their way to your diamond.
Quick-Dip
There are many types of diamond cleaning fluid
on the market. you can follow the cleaning instructions. The most important thing is that after the cleaning process, you do not directly touch with your finger.
this can cause your diamonds exposed to oil that comes from these fingers.
Cold Water Soak
Diamond care also includes a process called a “cold water soak”. Fill a bowl with a solution of half cold water and half household ammonia. Place your diamond into the cleanser and allow it to soak for at least 30 minutes. When you take it out, tap the jewelry around the mounting brackets and then swish it around in your cold water solution again as a final rinsing. You can set it out to dry on a piece of tissue paper.
Ultrasonic Cleansing
This method is used when you have an ultrasonic machine.
Please enter your diamonds along with cleaning fluid on
the places provided. This machine then automatically
will clean your diamond.
Storing Diamonds
Another important concern of diamond care is how to store your diamonds when you are not wearing them. Diamonds are gemstones that can scratch other diamonds or other jewelry, so it is recommended that you never place them into a jewelry box or case with other pieces of jewelry unless you individual wrap the diamonds with tissue paper. The best way to properly provide diamond care and store your diamond however, is to place the jewelry piece into a fabric lined jewelry box, or a larger case that has individual dividers that are each lined with fabric to protect each piece of jewelry.
