Cleaning gemstones and diamonds might sound fairly easy, but you have to be careful not to harm the stone or the setting. Attempting to use the wrong method or cleaning solution could quickly harm the shine of your stone, leaving it dull and unflattering to the eye.

Here are some important cleaning tips that will help preserve the longevity of your jewels:

Soft Brushes for Hard Gems

A popular tool of choice is a soft-bristle tooth brush. The brush must be soft; otherwise, you might do more harm than good to your stone or setting. A hard-bristle brush might even damage the metal holding your gems and diamonds. Better not chance it. To clean your jewelry, get a warm bowl of water and scrub with a few drops of ordinary liquid dish detergent.

Regular Glass Cleaner

One very popular cleaning method among jewelers is to simply wipe down your gems with regular household glass cleaner. The cleaner quickly removes oil and dirt while leaving behind a vibrant shine. Wear rubber gloves if you don’t want to get the scent on your skin.
