Cleaning of Diamond Rings
When jewelry is worn next to the skin, it will become covered and clogged in oily debris mainly composed of dead skin. Dust and grit become lodged in this. Wearing rings while washing up can also allow a greasy film to coat the backs of stones and the inside of settings. The main purpose of cleaning diamond rings is to remove all this greasy debris, and allow light to enter and leave the diamons, restoring their sparkle.
Most gold or platinum jewelry can be cleaned in warm soapy water, detergent is equally good. It can be gently brushed if necessary using an old tooth brush especially to remove debris behind the stones. It is better to avoid cleaning agents containing abrasives, including toothpaste.
