Diamonds are known for their exceptional durability, but even the hardest gemstones need care to stay brilliant. With a few smart habits, you can keep your diamond rings, earrings, and necklaces sparkling for generations. Looking for general jewelry care? See our Jewelry Care guide.

How to Clean Diamond Jewelry

1. Mix warm water with a drop of mild dish soap in a small bowl.
2. Soak your diamond jewelry for 10 to 20 minutes to loosen dirt and oils.
3. Brush gently with a soft toothbrush, especially underneath the setting and around prongs.
4. Rinse under warm running water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
5. After cleaning, inspect each piece for loose stones or worn prongs.

Pro Tip

While diamonds are incredibly hard, a sharp blow (especially to corners or edges) can chip or fracture them. Always remove diamond jewelry before playing sports, cleaning, or using harsh chemicals. Have your settings checked by a professional once a year. Need a checkup?Make an appointment for a complimentary inspection.

Do's

  • Clean your diamonds regularly to keep them brilliant.
  • Remove diamond jewelry before hands-on activities, swimming, or using cleaning products.
  • Store each diamond piece separately in a soft velvet pouch or lined box—diamonds can scratch other jewelry.
  • Have your jewelry checked and professionally cleaned at least once a year.

Don'ts

  • Don’t wear diamond jewelry in pools or hot tubs—chlorine can damage both metal and stone.
  • Don’t touch diamonds with your fingers, as oils can dull their shine.
  • Don’t assume diamonds are indestructible—protect against chips and impact.
