Cleaning Tricks

​

  1. Softly polish your diamonds with a toothbrush and soap, then wash thoroughly with clean water and gently wipe with a soft cloth. Be careful not to drop it in the sinkhole!

  2. Soak jewelry in Vodka or Gin for several hours. The ethanol content is a natural solvent that dissolves dirt molecules attached to the diamond.

  3. Soak jewelry in Baking Soda + Water mixture for few minutes and gently scrub. Rinse through warm water and dry gently.

  4. If Necessary; ultrasonic cleaners can be used to remove encrusted dirt on diamonds. The low frequency sound waves though a solution removed accumulated dirt and grime. Warning: this process can also shake loose stones from their mountings.
