1 - Home cleaning with a homemade solution

A simple and effective method is to use a homemade solution to clean your diamond. Mix a few drops of mild detergent with warm water in a small bowl. Dip your diamond in the solution and leave it to soak for about 15 to 20 minutes. Use a soft bristle brush (such as a soft toothbrush) to gently scrub around the stone, concentrating on areas where dirt might accumulate. Then rinse the diamond with warm water and dry it with a clean, soft microfibre cloth.

2 - Cleaning with a specialised kit

For a more thorough cleaning, you can use specialised kits available on the market. These kits usually include cleaning solutions designed specifically for diamonds and suitable brushes. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit to ensure optimum cleaning without damaging your precious stone.

3 - Professional cleaning

If you have any doubts about cleaning your diamonds or if your piece requires more delicate care, it is advisable to consult a professional jeweller. Experts can carry out a thorough cleaning using professional equipment and can also check the condition of the setting to ensure that the stone is secure.
