Diamonds, the epitome of brilliance and timeless elegance, deserve the utmost care to maintain their dazzling fire. At Nagi Jewellers, Delhi NCR's premier destination for exquisite gold and diamond jewellery (thenagijewellers.com), we understand the emotional value attached to these precious stones. Here, we unveil the secrets to keeping your diamond jewelry sparkling for generations to come.

Why Does Diamond Jewelry Need Care?

Diamonds, while incredibly hard, are susceptible to a build-up of everyday substances like lotions, makeup, and even skin oils. This film can dull their brilliance, making them appear cloudy. Regular cleaning and proper storage are crucial to maintaining their fire and maximizing their beauty.

Simple Yet Effective Daily Practices

Develop a "Take It Off" Habit: Before engaging in activities like housework, applying lotion, or exercising, remove your diamond jewelry. Harsh chemicals and physical exertion can damage the setting or scratch the stone.

The Power of a Soft Polish: After each wear, gently buff your diamond jewelry with a lint-free polishing cloth, such as a microfibre cloth. This removes any surface oils and keeps it sparkling.

Deep Cleaning for Dazzling Results

For a more thorough clean, consider a bi-weekly home cleaning routine:

Gather Your Supplies: Prepare a bowl of warm (not hot) water with a few drops of mild, phosphate-free dish soap. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush (ideally a separate one reserved for jewelry cleaning) and a clean, lint-free cloth.

Soak and Soften: Submerge your diamond jewelry in the soapy water for 15-20 minutes. This allows dirt and grime to loosen.

Gentle Brushing: Using the soft-bristled toothbrush, gently brush the diamond and its setting, paying particular attention to the areas behind the stone where dirt can accumulate. Avoid applying excessive pressure.

Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your jewelry under warm, running water to remove all soap residue. Ensure the drain is closed to prevent any mishaps.

Pat it Dry: Pat your diamond jewelry dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can cause scratches.

Important Precautions

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use harsh chemicals, bleach, or ammonia-based cleaners, as they can damage the metal setting and dull the diamond's brilliance.

Ultrasonic Cleaners with Caution: While ultrasonic cleaners can be effective for some jewelry, they are not recommended for diamonds with fractures or treated stones. Consult your jeweler for advice specific to your piece.

Know When to Seek Professional Help: For intricate settings or heavily soiled pieces, it's best to visit a professional jeweler for a deep clean and inspection.

Storing Your Diamond Treasures Safely

Separate Compartments: Store your diamond jewelry in a lined jewelry box with compartments to prevent pieces from scratching each other.

Fabric Pouches for Extra Care: Invest in soft fabric pouches for delicate pieces to offer additional protection.

A Cool, Dry Place: Store your jewelry box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
