Hello evryone!
What do you know or think about cleaning loose diamonds with chlorine? I have been advised to let it be in a cup filled with pure chlorine for up to 24hrs.
Actually at the moment the diamonds are set in a ring, 3+ carats each, prong setting. It is an old ring and diamonds are very dirty. I want to put the stones for certification but first I want to clean them in order to have max color and shininess. I have heard that for example if the girdle is bruted, it can have lot of dirt and dust on it and it can lessen even the color of a diamond.
And another question. Can I also leave the whole ring stay in chlorine? Gold is probably 18k and will be scrap gold anyway after removing the stones.
Or you advise me to do nothing and hand the stones to the certification lab as they are now, because they will clean them good enough before grading?
Appreciate your advice,
Kim
