Properly Cleaning Diamond Jewelry: How to Maintain Your Jewels' Sparkle

A diamond is forever, but dust, skin oils, and everyday grime can dull its fire over time. To ensure your Sirius Diamond jewelry shines as brightly years from now as it did on day one, proper care is essential.

Gentle Cleaning at Home: Step by Step

You don't need to take your jewelry to a professional every time. With these simple steps, you can safely clean your diamonds at home:

  • Lukewarm Soapy Water: Mix mild, unscented dish soap with lukewarm water.
  • Soaking: Place your jewelry in the solution for about 20-30 minutes.
  • Gentle Brushing: Use a soft toothbrush to carefully remove dirt from the crevices of the setting.
  • Rinse & Dry: Rinse the jewelry under running water (caution: close the drain!) and pat it dry with a lint-free cloth.

What You Should Absolutely Avoid

Although diamonds are the hardest material in the world, the settings and alloys can be sensitive. Avoid harsh chemicals like chlorine or bleach. These can attack the gold or silver and weaken the setting.

When is Professional Cleaning Necessary?

We recommend having your high-quality diamond jewelry inspected by an expert once a year. We will not only check its brilliance but also the secure fit of the stones in their settings. Thanks to our 30 years of experience, we know exactly what matters when it comes to preserving value.

Proper Storage

To avoid scratches, you should store each piece of jewelry individually in a soft fabric pouch or in your Sirius Diamond original box. Diamonds can scratch each other or other metals.
