Taking care of the diamond engagement ring


Diamond engagement rings are considered as the symbols of love and moreover a promise of marriage and happiness. Presenting and receiving a diamond engagement ring is one of the most memorable moments in one’s life. The main feature of a diamond ring is that it would be worn for many years and are often handed down to the next generation. When the diamond engagement ring is all new, it would sparkle to the fullest. It would be simply awesome. But as days pass, the sparkle would fade and the ring itself would look dull. This is because diamonds are much prone to grease.

There are many reasons why the sparkle in the diamond ring would fade. The ring would be worn daily and products like soaps, skin oils, hand lotions, hair sprays along with everyday dust and house hold products would leave a dirt film on the ring and it would make the ring look so dull and old. Over the time, a thick layer of gunk and grime would accumulate behind the diamond. This would block the light passing through the stone making it look unattractive.

Generally, certain types of coatings and other special substances are used to keep the shine and also protect the diamond. If you are using rough substances, harsh chemicals and vigorous scrubbing, the protective coating would be removed and the ring would become more prone to dirt and grime. Hence it is important to take special care while cleaning your diamond ring. Many products are available in the market which can be used to clean the engagement ring. Knowing the different and simple methods to clean the ring would keep the engagement ring look dazzling for many years.

Make sure that you clean the ring very often so that sediments don’t get accumulated on it. There are three things that you must not use to clean the ring. It is a false notion that boiling water is capable of cleaning all the unwanted substances. People tend to put the jewelry in boiling water for cleaning it. But it is not suggested and it would be foolish to boil the ring as it would destroy the finest qualities of the jewelry. Some people have the habit of using toothpaste to clean the fine jewelries. Toothpaste is abrasive and hence it has to be completely avoided to clean the jewelry. It would eventually leave scratches in gold and would soften the qualities of gem. Yet another wrong method is cleaning the ring using soaps. You must know that even the mildest soap would leave chemicals and residues on the ring surface thereby leaving the stone look dull. Hence it is good to use specialized jewelry cleaners and detergents for removing deposits on the diamond engagement rings and any other jewelry.

The best way to clean the diamond ring would be to go back to the jewelry shop and seek their help. This method is safe since the experts can check the condition of the ring and can make sure that the claws are in good condition. Also they would ensure that there are no problems.
