Diamond rings pick up quite some dirt and grime over the weeks and months they are on your finger and cleaning your diamond in order to bring it back to its primary sparkling self is not as easy as it might seem as definite precautions must be taken before proceeding.
There are several cleaning methods of which the first, either done at home or expertly is in using an galvanic high frequency vibrating machine where the diamond ring is settled in a recipient containing a extra cleaning fluid and it is legitimately 'shaken' clean by the vibrations within the solution created by the machine.
Diamond
We do not recommend this method as it can cause the diamond, especially if it is set in gold or silver and is of a definite size, to wiggle itself loose within the setting due to the vibrations.
This will allow a loose claw to get caught on any material. Pull apart, perhaps slowly, with as a ensue that the diamond will be prone to fall out especially if it is set between 4 claws.
So under no circumstances should you allow whatever to use such a method to clean your diamond ring even if it is offered to you free of fee unless of procedure you accept the risk factor.
The best method is what we call the 'soap sud' method.
You pour a small amount of boiling water in a small recipient in which a drop or two of liquid detergent has been added. Then taking an old tooth brush, dipped into the solution, you begin to brush the ring looking to it that the bristles of the brush are penetrating the small openings around the diamond. This you do several times until you are satisfied that the bristles have penetrated all of the orifices around and within the mount and on the diamond itself.
Making sure, of course, that the sink has been blocked so that there is no risk of your ring falling into the water evacuation hole, rinse your diamond ring under the hot tap in order to take off whatever soap suds that may remain and then dry your ring using a clean kitchen towel or tissue.
Having done this there is one more important step to take and that involves methylated spirits.
Place the ring in a small recipient containing some methylated spirits for 15 seconds, then wiggle it a bit within the solution in order to generate movement. The diamond ring is then dried using the kitchen towel or tissue again.
The methylated spirit will revive the brilliance of the metal and it will again shine and it will take off any 'haze' ensue left by the liquid detergent, giving the diamond that extra sparkle it deserves.
This is the only method we at the Jewellery Web Shop legitimately recommend as no damage can be done to the diamond and its mount.
Under no circumstances must any hard objects be used to pry into the orifices of the ring nor whatever harder than the bristles of a toothbrush as otherwise there is a risk of additional scratching to the metal of the ring.
