Keeping Diamond Rings Sparkling

As the hardest natural substance on Earth, it is no surprise that diamonds can cut through virtually any rock or metal. It is one of the toughest minerals you will find today. No other element can cut a diamond except another diamond, yet the simplest oils from human touch can damage its physical appeal. A single touch can cause dirt o to collect on your Las Vegas diamond rings, causing them to lose their sparkle. To avoid destroying the physical appearance of your diamond rings, try to take note of the point below. 

Regular Cleaning

It is natural for diamond rings to become grease magnets, so it’s easy to unintentionally make them grimy. To address this, you can clean them regularly using a simple solution you can make with ordinary household items, such as water and a few drops of mild dish soap. You can soak your diamond rings in this solution once or twice a week. Doing so will keep grease at bay. You can also use a clean, soft-bristled toothbrush to brush off first that has collected in the hard-to-reach areas on your ring. 

Ultrasonic Cleaners

Sometimes, diamond rings get encrusted with dirt, especially when they’ve been sitting for a while. When your diamond rings reach this point of dirt, ultrasonic cleaners can do the trick. It sends low-frequency sound waves through a liquid solution, resulting in vibrations through the liquid, which can remove accumulated dirt. The vibrations can also slough off grime without damaging the metal band and the diamond itself. However, if done improperly, ultrasonic waves can shake off stones from their setting, which may result in broken diamond rings. That said, it is important to proceed with caution or avoid ultrasonic cleaners completely if your diamond rings have already been treated by fracture filling.

Handle With Care

Older diamond rings will most likely have fragile settings and traditional prongs. Such rings should be handled with care, especially if yours is a tension ring where the center diamond is held in place by just the pressure from the ring’s shank. If your diamond rings are a little loose and shaky, you should not scrub them vigorously, even if you’re using a soft-bristle toothbrush or cloth. Cary your hands well when you’re working with fragile diamond rings. Also, remember to close the drain if you’re working over the sink so you don’t end up losing your rings if you drop them.
