How to Keep Lab-Grown Diamond Jewellery Sparkling

Keep lab-grown diamond jewellery sparkling by handling it by the metal rather than touching the stone, putting it on after skincare and perfume have dried, removing it before showering, swimming, cooking, exercise and household cleaning, and wiping compatible surfaces with a clean lint-free cloth after wear. Pay attention to residue behind the diamond, where light interaction can be affected. Use the approved gentle cleaning routine when film appears, inspect settings before and after, store pieces separately and arrange professional care when dullness persists.

Inspect brightness (reflected light), fire (spectral dispersion), and scintillation (facet pattern contrast) metrics in motion. For grading details, consult the 4Cs of lab-grown diamonds.

1. View it under the same neutral light used for its clean baseline.
2. Move it gently at normal viewing distance.
3. Compare front and side views.
4. Check for visible film under magnification.
5. Avoid comparing it with a high-contrast edited product video.

Finger oils reduce visible light returns. Handle rings by shanks and earrings by posts or metal borders.

1. Skincare and sunscreen.
2. Make-up and hair products.
3. Perfume.
4. Allow products to dry.
5. Put on jewellery.

Remove jewelry before:

• showering or bathing;
• swimming or using a hot tub;
• handwashing when secure temporary storage is available;
• cooking with oils or dough;
• household cleaning;
• gardening;
• exercise; and
• applying lotion or hair products.

Wipe with clean microfibre cloths after wear if approved. Avoid pulling cloths aggressively through micro prongs.

Light interactions rely on pavilion cleanliness. Clean galleries carefully without using steel pins or needles.

Clean periodically based on lotion exposure. Stated procedures are detailed at how often diamond jewellery should be cleaned.

Look for:

• a moving or rattling stone;
• raised, bent or worn prongs;
• gaps around a bezel;
• missing accents;
• new snagging;
• damaged links or clasps; and
• chips or changes in finish.

Use soft-lined compartments. Fasten bracelets to avoid prongs catching adjacent chains.

Ensure microfibre cloths are dust-free. Reserve new soft brushes specifically for jewelry tasks.

Avoid:

• toothpaste or abrasive powders;
• bleach and chlorine products;
• boiling water;
• sharp scraping tools;
• strong household degreasers;
• unapproved alcohol or sanitiser;
• domestic steam; and
• ultrasonic cleaning without professional approval.

Rings: Handle by shanks. Residues collect under center stones.

Earrings: Remove prior to applying hair spray or perfume.

Necklaces and pendants: Clean bails where body lotions contact mountings.

Bracelets: Check clasps and links frequently. Wipe after use.

Contact a jeweller if:

• one approved gentle clean does not restore the clean baseline;
• residue is compacted beneath an inaccessible setting;
• the piece contains sensitive coloured stones or unknown treatments;
• it is vintage or structurally delicate;
• the metal finish has changed;
• the stone appears hazy in all familiar lighting;
• a prong, clasp or link is damaged; or
• professional inspection is due.

After each wear: Check links and store separately.

When film appears: Wash with mild soaps and dry fully.

Every six to twelve months, depending on use: Arrange professional checks to secure warranty benefits.
