How to clean diamonds at home
Diamonds are indeed the most inspiring of all precious stones, taking care of them however, will ensure that their sparkling brilliance will continue to impress. A few tips on caring for your diamonds are shared below.
Cleaning to ensure a brilliant sparkle
Dust and small particle build-up on the surface of the stones may cause a dull appearance. To return the shine take a warm bowl of water and soak the diamonds for an hour or two. Use a small and soft bristle brush to remove the dirt and grime. You can add a mild detergent to the water to help break up fatty deposits. Be sure to rinse the stones well by making use of a tiny-hole strainer to contain the stones while rinsing them. Don’t rub the stones to dry them, rather pat them dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
Extreme cleaning
If the diamonds are extremely dull, you may need to use a solution of half ammoniac and half water. Soak the stones for 20 minutes and then remove them from the solution. Use a soft bristled brush to remove dirt and grime. Rinse and pat dry in the same way as described previously.
Jewellery cleanser method
If you prefer to be on the safe side, you can use jewellery cleanser liquid which will be available from a jewellery design store or pharmacy. Follow the instructions carefully to ensure that you only use cleansers that are applicable to diamonds.
Ultrasonic cleaning
You may also consider investing in an ultra-sonic cleaner that uses high-frequency to remove dirt particles. The machines are available through online stores and from jewellery equipment suppliers.
The best alternative for perfect restoration of old jewellery is to get in contact with Diamond Source for complete restoration or even modification of an existing design to bring out the sparkle in your diamonds.
