Your diamond wedding ring is a symbol of eternal commitment, but daily life—from lotion and soap residue to dirt and oil—can quickly dim its sparkle. Fortunately, restoring its brilliance is easy and safe to do right at home.
As experts in fine jewelry, including beautiful lab created diamond wedding rings, Vivre Brilliance shares the authentic, jeweler-approved method for keeping your precious piece sparkling for a lifetime.
The Safest DIY Method to Clean Diamond Rings
The most reliable, gentle, and effective cleaning solution involves two simple household items: warm water and mild dish soap. This method is safe for all types of metals (including the various gold alloys and platinum used in gold and diamond wedding rings) and diamonds.
What You Need:
A small bowl or cup.
Warm water (not hot, and definitely not boiling).
A few drops of mild dishwashing liquid (e.g., Dawn, ensuring it’s not a moisturizing or abrasive formula).
A clean, soft-bristled toothbrush (reserved just for jewelry).
A soft, lint-free cloth (e.g., a microfiber cloth).
Step-by-Step Cleaning Process:
Soak the Ring: Fill the bowl with warm water and add 2-3 drops of mild dish soap. Place your diamond ring into the solution and allow it to soak for 20 to 40 minutes. Soaking helps loosen accumulated dirt and grime from the setting and the back of the diamond.
Gentle Scrub: After soaking, use the soft-bristled toothbrush to gently scrub the ring. Pay special attention to the underside of the setting and the areas around the prongs or smaller stones, as this is where oils and dirt build up the most.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the ring under warm, running water to wash away all the soap residue and lifted grime. (Crucially, always close your sink drain before rinsing!)
Dry and Buff: Pat the ring dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. For extra sparkle, you can let it air dry completely on a paper towel after the initial pat-down. Avoid paper towels with high wood pulp content, which can scratch delicate metals.
Maintaining the Brilliance of Your Lab Created Diamond Wedding Rings
The best cleaning routine is a consistent one. Vivre Brilliance recommends a quick, weekly soak and brush to prevent buildup. Preventative care is considered equally important, with special attention advised for intricate designs such as pavé settings.
5 Things to Never Use on Your Diamond Ring:
To ensure you don’t damage your precious gold and diamond wedding rings or loosen the setting, avoid these common household items:
Harsh Chemicals: Never use household cleaners like bleach, chlorine, or acetone (found in nail polish remover). These chemicals can break down the metals in your band and damage certain gemstones or treatments.
Abrasive Products: Avoid materials like toothpaste, baking soda, or powdered cleaners. These are too abrasive and can cause micro-scratches on the gold or platinum surface of your ring.
Boiling Water: Extreme temperature changes can shock the metal, potentially causing prongs to expand and contract, leading to loose stones.
Moisturizing Soaps/Lotions: Any product containing moisturizers or oils will leave a stubborn film on the diamond, dulling its sparkle immediately.
Ultrasonic Cleaners (Used Recklessly): While professionals use them, home versions can loosen stones in pavé or other delicate settings if used too frequently or incorrectly.
