Steps in Cleaning Diamond Earrings
Thankfully, cleaning diamond earrings is not that difficult. You can either go to a professional cleaner or you can do it yourself. If you choose the latter, simply follow the instructions below:
1. Take a plastic dish or get a small bowl.
2. Fill the bowl with two parts water and heat it for about a minute.
3. Now add ammonia or any glass cleaner you utilize in your house. Use the same measurement for both the water and the cleaner. The solution will be the cleaner for your diamond earrings.
4. Place the jewellery into the solution but make sure that you do this gently. Put it there for approximately a minute and thirty seconds.
Alternatively, the pair can remain submerged in the solution until the water is no longer hot for you to touch.
5. After that, you can now remove the diamond earrings from the cleaning solution.
There is one simple thing that you should remember when removing the jewellery pieces. Ensure that you take it by the post. It is not recommended that you lift it by the diamond itself.
6. If you are still not satisfied with the process, you can use a toothbrush for added cleaning.
This is perfect for washing away lotion, hair spray or hair gel build-up which is usually found on the lower part of the diamond earrings. (Take note that these steps are also applicable in cleaning your fine diamond rings)
What to Do After Cleaning
Now that you have removed the earrings from the solution, lay them first on a paper towel for at least five minutes. You can store them in your jewellery box after it has dried up.
Diamonds are considered as the hardest stone on earth. Using ammonia lets it dry faster and even contributes to bringing the shine out of your diamond earrings, which can help it last for a very long time.
