Contrary to popular belief, diamonds aren’t self-cleaning. They attract oil and dirt like a magnet. The facets that catch and reflect light so beautifully can become obscured by buildup, dulling their brilliance over time. Sweat, makeup, hair products, and even the natural oils from your fingers can create a cloudy film.
In short, the shine isn’t gone—it’s just hiding.
Cleaning your diamond jewelry at home doesn’t require fancy tools or harsh chemicals. In fact, gentler is better. Here’s what you’ll need:
1. Soak to Release Debris
Fill your bowl with warm water and add a few drops of mild dish soap. Stir gently and place your diamond jewelry into the solution. Let it soak for 20–30 minutes to loosen any buildup of dirt or oils.
2. Gently Brush the Surface
After soaking, use your toothbrush to gently scrub the diamond and the setting. Be especially thorough around the back of the diamond, where grime tends to collect. The goal isn’t to scrub hard but to coax away the debris with soft, circular motions.
3. Rinse Thoroughly
Once you’re satisfied, rinse the jewelry under warm running water. If you’re working near a sink, be sure to close the drain or use a mesh strainer—trust us on this one.
4. Dry and Polish
Use a lint-free cloth or microfiber towel to pat the jewelry dry. Avoid paper towels, which can scratch metals and leave lint behind. Give the diamond a final polish with the cloth to restore its luster.
Cleaning diamonds is easy—but you can still do more harm than good if you’re not careful. Avoid these common pitfalls:
If you wear a piece daily—like an engagement ring—it’s smart to clean it weekly with warm soapy water and give it a deeper clean once a month. For special-occasion pieces, a quarterly cleaning is usually enough.
Even the hardest stone on earth can scratch other jewelry. Store diamonds separately in a fabric-lined box or a soft pouch to avoid scuffs. Keep necklace chains clasped to avoid tangling, and use individual compartments for rings.
Traveling? Use a small jewelry case with separated sections or roll your pieces in soft cloth before placing them in a bag.
Jewelry is more than just something you wear—it holds memories, milestones, and moments of love. Taking a little time to clean and care for your diamonds helps keep them looking their best and honors the stories they carry.
