Lab-grown diamond jewellery is created sustainably and ethically, delivering timeless elegance without sacrificing the feeling of wearing something exquisite.
Lab-grown diamonds and natural diamonds are made with the same physical, chemical, and visual properties, so they should be treated the same way.
At Maiora Diamonds, we believe your diamond jewellery should have an everlasting shine.
In this detailed Lab Grown Diamond Jewellery Care and Maintenance Guide, we'll show you how to maintain your lab-grown diamond jewellery.
Understanding Lab Grown Diamonds
Firstly, it's important to understand what makes lab-grown diamonds special. Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds created with groundbreaking technology that mimics the natural diamond formation process without mining.
Lab-grown and natural diamonds are similar in terms of composition, sparkle, and durability. The same care applies to both.
Importance of lab-grown diamond care
The lab-grown diamond jewellery we offer is made to last a lifetime. They are created to be a part of all your celebrations, events, or even that subtle evening out.
Because of regular use, it leads to daily exposure to dust, lotions, oils, and perfumes; it is inevitable that your jewellery piece will lose its shine.
For this reason, care for your jewellery just like you care for yourself. Be mindful and give it a routine cleaning to regain its sparkle and preserve the metal setting.
How to Clean Lab Grown Diamond Jewellery at Home
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to clean diamond jewellery at home, using items you already have at home:
You’ll Need:
- A small bowl
- Mild dish soap or gentle detergent
- Warm water
- A soft toothbrush or a jewellery cleaning brush
- A lint free cloth or microfiber towel
Steps to Clean:
1. Get the solution ready.
In lukewarm water, add a few drops of mild soap. Avoid any abrasive household cleaners or strong chemicals.
2. Let your jewellery soak.
Let your lab-grown diamond jewellery soak in the solution for 10 to 15minutes, which helps loosen any dirt or buildup stuck on the surface.
3. Gently brush
Use a gentle toothbrush to clean beneath the diamond, as well as removing dirt from the hard-to-reach areas. Be careful not to loosen delicate details or prongs.
4. Rinse with clean water
To get rid of any soap residue, hold the piece under lukewarm running water. To prevent any accidents, make sure the sink is plugged in or use a strainer.
5. Polish and dry
Use a gentle, lint-free cloth to dry. Paper towels and tissues may be abrasive to the metal, so avoid using them.
Everyday Care Tips to Protect the
Glow
Last to wear, first to take off:
Whether you do your hair or make-up first, you should always remember that jewellery goes on last but comes off first, to protect it from accidentally getting caught on clothing and getting damaged.
Remove during certain activities:
During swimming, working out, cleaning or sleeping, remove your lab-grown diamond jewellery, as sweat and chemicals can harm the metal's sheen.
Regular inspection:
Check for loose prongs or clasps once in a while. A quick visit to a jeweller can prevent big damage later.
How to Store the Lab Grown Diamond Jewellery
There are ways you can store your jewellery to protect it from getting damaged or losing its shine:
- Use soft pouches or fabric-lined boxes to protect each piece from scratches.
- Store each piece separately so that they don't rub against each other or get entangled.
- Keep away from direct sunlight or humidity.
Schedule Professional Cleaning and Maintenance:
Many times, our jewellery may look in pristine condition to us, as we can’t tell the damage that takes place. This is the reason we need to seek professional help.
We at Maiora Diamonds advise bringing your jewellery in once or twice a year for the following reasons:
- Deep ultrasonic cleaning
- Polishing
- Prong tightening and inspection
Through professional inspection, our experts assess prong integrity, stone security, and metal condition under magnification.
