How To Clean Your Lab Grown Diamond Jewelry

Although they are a highly durable stone, taking care of your diamonds is crucial in maintaining the quality and shine of your jewelry. To help you navigate this process, we have put together a step-by-step guide on how to use our jewelry cleaning kit to maximize your diamond’s long-term brilliance.

Understanding Lab Grown Diamond Jewelry Care

Like all fine pieces of jewelry, caring for your lab grown jewelry ensures that it shines bright like a diamond for a long time. Lab grown diamonds share similar properties to natural diamonds, like durability, hardness, and shine. Hence, the maintenance of both lab grown and mined diamonds is essentially the same. While durable, understanding the care process ensures that these pieces continue to benefit from regular care, preserving their shine for a very long time.

Safe & Simple Cleaning Methods

1. Coat your jewelry in our all-natural jewelry cleaning spray. Let the jewelry soak up the liquid for approximately 10 to 15 minutes to ensure that it thoroughly cleans every crevice. 
2. Afterwards, use the soft bamboo bristle brush to scrub the diamond lightly. While it is essential to be gentle with your pieces, ensure that you scrub under and at the back of the setting, as well as the outside surfaces.
3. Next, rinse your piece with warm water to get all the cleaning liquid and any other possible dirt or dust off.
4. Lastly, wipe thoroughly with our soft cloth, explicitly made for diamond jewelry, to ensure the piece isn’t damaged.

What Not to Do: Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid

While cleaning your lab jewelry, it’s also essential to know some of the do’s and don’ts to preserve its forever shine. Here are some basic things that MUST be avoided:

• Avoid using harsh chemicals when cleaning jewelry, such as bleach, chlorine, or ammonia-based cleaners.
• Do not use abrasive substances like toothpaste, baking soda, or acetone.
• Do not use rough materials to scrub, as it might damage the shine or cause scratches to the surface of the precious stone.
• Should remove the jewelry while doing heavy physical activity, or while using harmful materials or harsh detergents that might damage the luster of the jewelry.

How Often Should You Clean Your Lab Diamond Jewelry?

It is advisable to gently clean your lab grown jewelry at least once in two weeks. This can be done at home using the cleaning kit we provide. You can also use gentle materials, such as mild soap and warm water. Soak the jewelry in warm water, adding a few drops of mild soap for about 10-20 minutes. Gently rub the jewelry with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove the dirt. Pat dry with a soft cloth after rinsing it clean under water. Voila! You have a clean and shiny diamond, ready to brighten up your glam.
