JewelryĀ CareĀ Guide
To ensure the longevity and radiance of your jewellery pieces, follow these essential care tips below.
How to wear
- To maintain your diamond's brilliant shine, refrain from touching it. The natural oils from your skin can dull the diamond's luster.
- When dealing with chemicals, like those used for cleaning, it's best to remove your ring or wear protective gloves to shield both your hands and the diamond.
- Prevent potential damage to your jewelry by removing it during tasks that could scratch or dislodge the diamond. This includes household repairs, gardening, heavy lifting, and contact sports.
- Keep your diamond jewelry away from chlorine-laden swimming pools, as it's not conducive to diamond preservation. Additionally, the skin shrinkage in water might cause jewelry to slip off.
- To safeguard your jewelry from damaging substances found in makeup, fragrances, hairspray, lotions, and soaps, always put on your jewelry last during your morning routine.
- Make it a habit to wear your jewelry as the final touch before heading out and the first to be taken off when returning home.
How to store
- Before storing, make sure your jewellery pieces are completely dry to prevent any potential moisture-related issues.
- Store it in a dry place when not worn, shielding it from the daily elements of exposure.
- Store your jewelry pieces separately to safeguard their beauty and protect against potential harm.
- Store Properly in Plastic Containers Safeguard your diamond ring by storing each piece separately in plastic padded boxes, preventing scratches that may occur when diamond rings come into contact with rough surfaces.
How to clean
Here's a simple at-home cleaning method for gold jewelry with lab-grown diamonds:
- Gentle Soak: Fill a small bowl with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap or jewelry cleaner. Avoid using hot water, as it can damage lab-grown diamonds.
- Soak and Swirl: Place your gold jewelry with lab-grown diamonds into the soapy water and let it soak for 10-15 minutes to loosen any dirt or debris. Gently swirl the jewelry in the water to help dislodge any buildup.
- Soft Brush Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush or jewelry brush to gently scrub the surface of the gold and lab-grown diamonds. Pay attention to intricate areas and settings where dirt may accumulate.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the jewelry under lukewarm water to remove any soap residue. Be sure to rinse it thoroughly to prevent soap buildup, which can dull the shine of both the gold and lab-grown diamonds.
- Pat Dry: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to pat the jewelry dry. Avoid rubbing the jewelry, as this can cause scratches. Take extra care to dry the lab-grown diamonds to prevent water spots.
- Air Dry: Allow the jewelry to air dry completely before wearing or storing it. Ensure that all moisture is removed to prevent tarnishing of the gold and water spots on the lab-grown diamonds.
By following these steps, you can effectively clean your gold jewelry with lab-grown diamonds at home, keeping them looking sparkling and beautiful. Remember to handle the jewelry with care throughout the cleaning process to avoid any damage.
