We recommend scheduling regular cleanings for your jewellery every three months, or if you notice a dull in its sparkle. At Carat Sage, we offer a complimentary cleaning service to ensure your jewellery maintains its radiance.
However, if you prefer to care for your jewellery at home, we’ve provided the below comprehensive steps for proper jewellery care.
1 | Prepare Warm Water
To begin, prepare a bowl or container filled with warm water. Warm water is widely recommended for cleaning diamond rings due to its ability to effectively loosen and remove dirt, oils, and residues that may have accumulated on the surface of the diamond. The warmth of the water helps dissolve these substances, allowing them to be easily rinsed away.
2 | Create Soapy Solution with Warm Water (Cleaning Solution)
Mix dishwashing detergent with warm water to create a cleaning solution. This helps to enhance the cleaning process by effectively removing dirt and oils without causing any harm to the diamond or its setting.
3 | Clean Jewellery with Brush And Solution.
Gently immerse the bristles of a soft toothbrush into the prepared cleaning solution. Carefully brush jewelry, ensuring thorough coverage. Utilizing a soft-bristled toothbrush, such as those commonly provided in hotels, is recommended to minimize the risk of causing any damage to the delicate setting.
4 | Rinse and Dry Your Diamond Ring
After brushing your diamond, rinse it with tap water and gently wipe your jewelry with a clean cloth. Your diamond ring is now ready to sparkle and be worn.
Do not wear your jewellery to the gym, or when working on housework or gardening chores.
Accidental blows may damage your jewellery structurally or cause chips to your diamond.
Avoid chemicals, and wear your jewellery after applying perfumes or lotions.
To ensure the longevity of your jewellery, it is advisable to exercise caution when engaging in household chores involving chemicals. These substances can potentially damage the integrity and appearance of your ring.
Similarly, when applying cosmetics or lotions, it is recommended to allow a sufficient drying time of approximately 2 minutes before adorning your ring. This precautionary measure helps to prevent the transfer of greasy residues onto the diamond and safeguards your ring against any adverse effects caused by the chemical components present in your cosmetic products.
By following these simple guidelines, you can maintain the beauty and integrity of your jewellery for years to come.
