Diamonds are forever—unless you mistreat them. While they’re the hardest natural substance on Earth, even diamonds can chip or loosen if handled carelessly. Proper care ensures your jewellery keeps its brilliance for generations. Here’s how to keep your diamonds shining at their best.
Storage
- Store diamond jewellery separately to prevent scratches. Use a fabric-lined jewellery case with compartments or wrap each piece in soft tissue paper or individual pouches.
- Never store diamonds together, as they can scratch each other.
Regular Inspections
- Check your jewellery frequently to ensure settings and prongs are secure.
- If you notice loose stones or damage, bring your piece to a TEJORI boutique for professional servicing.
- Have your diamond jewellery examined annually for expert cleaning and maintenance.
Cleaning Your Diamonds
- Daily buildup from skin oils, lotions, and household chemicals can dull a diamond’s sparkle.
- Regular home cleaning:
- Soak your jewellery in warm water with a few drops of ammonia-based cleaner (e.g., window cleaner) once or twice a week.
- Gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush, paying extra attention to the back of the diamond, where dirt accumulates.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth.
- Avoid harmful solutions:
- Never use chlorine, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage metal settings.
- Be cautious with ultrasonic cleaners, as they can loosen stones—consult a professional jeweller before use.
Everyday Care Tips
- Remove jewellery before exercise, heavy lifting, or household chores to prevent chipping or damage.
- Avoid chlorine—it can weaken metal settings and cause discolouration.
- Schedule a professional cleaning at least once a year to maintain brilliance and secure settings.
