From the moment it was discovered, a diamond has been on an incredible journey of discovery, and less than 1% of the world’s diamonds are eligible to become a Forevermark diamond. To keep your diamond jewellery sparkling, it’s important to extend the same level of diamond care that past experts and master craftsmen have given. As the love your diamond symbolises is unique and must be nurtured, your diamond’s signature sparkle must be cared for.

Protecting your diamond jewellery

Your diamond jewellery may become exposed to harsh chemicals or abrasive solutions. Whether it is wearing perfume, applying sunscreen, washing up, or simply using hairspray, these chemicals can erode or dull metal settings. It is sometimes best to remove your jewellery, or wear protective clothing.

Handling your diamond ring

Specifically when removing rings, you should always ensure to pick it up by its band, not by the stone or setting. This will help to keep the diamond secure in its setting as well as preventing natural oils from your hands building up around the stone.

1, For a simple way to clean your diamond ring at home, use hot soapy water and gentle brushing with a soft-bristle toothbrush.

2, Use a solution of one-part ammonia to six-parts water, rinsing well to renew the brightness.

3, Shop-bought non-abrasive jewellery cleaners are a good alternative to brushing. Make sure the cleaner is safe to use on your ring metal, as well as on the diamond itself. After cleaning, rub gently with a soft cloth to accentuate your diamond’s shine.

It’s recommended that you take your diamond to an authorised jeweller for professional cleaning once every six months. The jeweller can also inspect your ring for any weakness or trauma, making sure that the diamond remains safe in its setting.
