How do I care in the best way for my diamond jewellery?
Diamonds are some of the most popular gemstones in the UK, and for good reason. They are beautiful, durable, and can last a lifetime. But like any other gemstone, diamonds require regular care to keep them looking their best.
Here are a few tips on how to care for your diamond jewellery in the UK:
1.
Clean your diamonds regularly
Diamonds can attract dirt and oil, so it's important to clean them regularly. You can clean your diamonds with a mild soap and water solution, or you can use a commercial jewellery cleaner. Be sure to rinse your diamonds thoroughly after cleaning them.
It is important to be careful when using commercial jewellery cleaners. Some commercial jewellery cleaners may contain harsh chemicals that can damage your diamonds over time. It is best to test any commercial jewellery cleaner on an inconspicuous area of your jewellery before using it on the entire piece.
2.
Avoid wearing your diamonds in the shower or when swimming
Chlorine and other chemicals can damage diamonds, so it's best to avoid wearing them in the shower or when swimming. If you do wear your diamonds in the shower, be sure to rinse them thoroughly afterwards.
3.
Store your diamonds carefully
When you're not wearing your diamonds, be sure to store them carefully in a soft cloth bag or jewellery box. This will help to protect them from scratches and damage.
If you're storing multiple pieces of diamond jewellery in the same box, be sure to wrap each piece individually in soft cloth or tissue paper to prevent them from scratching each other.
4.
Get regular professional inspects
Have your diamonds professionally cleaned and inspected every few years. Even if you take good care of your diamond jewellery, it's important to have it professionally cleaned and inspected by a jeweller every few years. A jeweller can check the setting of your jewellery for any loose prongs or other damage, and they can also professionally clean your diamonds to remove any dirt or build-up that you may not be able to remove at home.
When choosing a jeweller to service your diamond jewellery, be sure to select a reputable jeweller with experience in cleaning and inspecting diamond jewellery. You can ask for recommendations from friends and family, or you can search online for reviews of local jewellers.
By following these tips, you can keep your diamond jewellery looking its best for years to come. If you're looking for a trusted jeweller to service your diamond jewellery in the UK, look for an independent jeweller in your area. Independent jewellers offer a number of advantages over chain stores, including expertise, personal service, and support for local businesses.
