Diamond Jewellery Cleaning Tips

How to love & care for your diamond jewels

It is important to love and care for your jewels and to keep them looking at their absolute best.

At Icecooldiamonds.com we recommend you clean your jewels at least once every month to keep the brilliant shine to the metal and the radiance and lustre to your diamond.

Keeping your jewels clean will stop everyday oils and grime becoming trapped under your diamond, making the stone appear dull and lifeless.

Cleaning Tips.

• Soak your diamond jewellery for around 10-15 minutes in a warm bowl of mild detergent.
• Use a soft brush/toothbrush to remove any dirt from around and inside the setting.
• Rinse the items thoroughly in warm water – Always use a bowl, never rinse over the sink!
• Dry with a lint free-cloth.
• Always remember to check your jewels when cleaning for any signs of wear and tear

Storing your diamond jewels.

Although diamonds are the hardest material known to man, special care should always be given to protecting your diamond jewellery. We highly recommend storing your diamond jewels separately, as one diamond can scratch another and cause abrasions to appear on the finish of your metal.

Caring for your metal

To keep your metal looking brighter for longer, polish regularly with a soft lint free cloth to bring back to life its brightness and shine.

It is always best to remove and protect your fine jewellery from harsh chemicals such as chlorine, perfume, hairspray and cleaning products which can tarnish gold.

All white gold is rhodium plated. Rhodium is applied to white gold to give the surface a brighter and more reflective lustre. Over time this will fade and will need to be re-plated, at Icecooldiamonds.com we can restore your white gold jewellery to it former sparkle.

Platinum is a naturally white metal which keeps its pure white colour, and is perfect for a lifetime of everyday wear. Platinum is more durable than other metal and is heat and acid resistant.

Like all precious metals, platinum and gold will scratch and dent when it comes into contact with harder elements. Therefore we recommend removing any jewels when carrying out heavy chores. However with everyday life scratches and dents will always occur over a period of time. Icecooldiamonds.com will remove all marks and restore your jewels by re-polishing and brining them back to their original beauty.
