I just bought a beautiful Hearts and Arrows diamond which is now set in a beautiful platinum semi-mount and my fiancee loves it. Now I'm wondering as to what is the best way to keep the ring looking its best and of course is a safe cleaning method. Any help with this is very much appreciated. Renatozan PS - I also want to give kudos to both Martin Sheffield of usagiacerteddiamonds (he sold me this beautiful hearts and arrows diamond) and to Bill Lieberum also known as Rockdoc (he checked out the diamond for me and was more than helpful to me in my buying decision). Anyone still looking for their diamond would be well advised to keep these names in mind. |

Congratulations Renatozan! The ring sounds gorgeous! I like to clean mine with sudsy ammonia and a soft brush. I soak it awhile and then give it a little brush and rinse in warm water. Cleanings at a local jeweler every so often are a good idea. I also take my ring off and store it in its box far from the kitchen sink when washing greasy dishes, making meatballs, etc. You get the idea, I'm sure. Diamonds attract and hold onto grease, lotion, etc. Some people recommend ultrasonic cleaners but good ones (especially ones that heat up) are expensive. Unfortunately, it seems that the cheap ones do a poor job of cleaning and the shaking can loosen the diamond. This is just what I've been told. Kudos to Martin and Bill! |
