Best Way To Clean Diamonds

Answer 3

Do not use bleach!!! Toothpastes are not a good idea either as some contain abrasive particles and could scratch stones. A lot of the things already suggested are very acid or alkaline - avoid them!

The best thing is a mild detergent like washing-up liquid, or shampoo. Rinse and dry.

You can also buy dry jewellers cloths for buffing which do not require liquid cleaner.

Answer 4

The method you use to clean any piece of jewelry must protect its weakest element. If your setting includes any gems, use a cleaning method that is suitable for the less durable stones.
Warm soapy water is the best for any jewelry.

DIAMOND
Soak the diamond in warm solution of mild liquid detergent and water (two cups warm water and a few drops of a mild dishwashing liquid). Use a soft toothbrush brush to remove dirt.
Swish the diamond around in the solution, then rinse it thoroughly in warm water. Dry the diamond with a lint-free cloth.
If doing this in a sink, be sure to stop the drain or put something in it to make sure you don’t lose the diamond.
If the diamond is on a ring, you can also use a wooden toothpick to carefully push dirt away from the stone and setting.

GOLD JEWELRY.
Gold jewelry can be easily cleaned with a soft toothbrush, dish washing liquid and warm water.
Soak for 15 minutes in a solution of two cups warm water and a few drops of a mild dishwashing liquid (It is better to avoid cleaning agents containing abrasives, including toothpaste.). Gently scrub with a soft-bristle toothbrush: Buff jewelry in a circular motion. Rinse with warm water. Dry with a soft cloth
Care tip: Remove before showering; soap dulls gold. Don't wear in pools, since chlorine discolors the metal.

JEWELRY CARE
1.- One of the worst things for causing wear and damage to diamonds is allowing them to rub and knock against other diamonds.
2.- Avoid wearing/celaning your jewlery when in contact with bleach or other cleaners containing chlorine or cleaning chemicals
3.- When not in use is essential to keep your treasures clean and new. When storing your jewelry, be careful that pieces do not tumble against each other to avoid scratching and loss of radiance. Ideally, store your jewelry in a fabric-lined jewel case, or a box with compartments or dividers or store each piece in individual soft cloth pouches.
4.- Some people recomend to soak gold and gemstones in alcohol or vodka/gin before cleaning, because this will loosen all the grease and films from the surfaces for a faster and nicer cleaning. It's true that the alcohol will dissolve grease, but this is a waste of good vodka/gin.
