Diamonds are forever—but their sparkle, brilliance, and beauty depend heavily on how you take care of them. Whether it’s a statement diamond bracelet, a subtle diamond letter pendant, or an heirloom ring from the real diamond jewellery collection, good care prevents dullness, damage, or loss. At Kisna.com, we believe that every diamond piece deserves to shine like the day you bought it. Here are 10 essential tips to help you preserve your diamond jewellery and enjoy it for years to come.

1. Clean Regularly with Mild Solutions

Why: Oils, lotions, dust, sweat, and everyday grime build up on diamonds and settings, reducing sparkle.

How:

  • Mix warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap.
  • Soak your diamond jewellery for 20‑30 minutes.
  • Use a soft‑bristled toothbrush to gently scrub, especially under and around the setting.
  • Rinse well with clean water.
  • Pat dry with a soft, lint‑free cloth. Avoid paper towels, they can scratch.

Pro tip: Clean more often if you wear pieces daily (rings, bracelets). Once a week or fortnightly is ideal for pieces you wear frequently.

2. Store Each Piece Separately

Even though diamonds are extremely hard, they can scratch other jewelry, including other diamonds. Proper storage helps prevent scratches, tangling, and damage.

  • Use a jewellery box with individual compartments.
  • Soft cloth pouches also work well.
  • Wrap delicate or finer pieces (like a diamond letter pendant) in soft tissue or cloth.
  • For travel, invest in a padded travel jewellery case.

3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals & Beauty Products

Chemicals such as bleach, chlorine, and strong detergents can damage both the metal setting (gold, silver, platinum) and the finish of the diamond.

  • Remove your jewellery before cleaning, swimming, or using household chemicals.
  • Apply lotions, perfumes, hairsprays before putting on your diamond pieces.
  • If jewellery does contact chemicals, rinse immediately and clean gently.

4. Handle with Care & Minimise Touching

Even the oils on your skin can dull a diamond’s brilliance.

  • Hold jewellery by the metal (chain, band), rather than the diamond.
  • Put on jewellery last, after makeup/hair care, to avoid sprays and residues settling.
  • Use both hands for clasps and fasteners to avoid dropping pieces.

5. Inspect Settings and Prongs Regularly

A loose setting or worn prong is one of the most common causes of diamond loss.

  • Check prongs, clasps, bezel settings, and any metal holding the diamond.
  • If you see any looseness or damage, take it to a professional jeweller before you lose the stone.

6. Avoid Wearing During Strenuous or Dirty Activities

  • Remove diamond rings and bracelets while gardening, exercising, cleaning, or doing any physical activity.
  • Avoid wearing while performing tasks that might scratch or damage the setting or expose it to impact.
  • Also avoid in hot tubs or pools with chlorine, which can tarnish or erode setting materials.

7. Use Professional Cleaning & Checkups Periodically

Home cleaning keeps your jewellery looking good, but a jeweller can do more:

  • Professional cleaning (steam, ultrasonic where appropriate) to reach tightly set areas.
  • Inspection of settings, prongs. Tightening loose stones.
  • Polishing metals. Re‑plating (for example rhodium on white gold) if necessary.

Aim for a checkup at least once a year; for pieces you wear daily, maybe every 6‑9 months.

9. Special Care Tips for Different Types & Styles

Different styles & metals have different vulnerabilities:

  • Diamond bracelets, bangles: More exposed, likely to bump or rub—more frequent inspection.
  • Pendants & chains: Chains can tangle; pendants may trap dirt under settings—clean more carefully there.
  • Diamond letter pendants: Small stones, delicate settings—handle gently.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How often should I clean my diamond jewellery?
Home cleaning: once every 1‑2 weeks for frequently worn pieces; professionally: at least once a year (or 6‑9 months for daily wearers).

2. Can I shower or bathe with diamond jewellery?
It’s better to avoid showers with jewellery, especially with soap, shampoo, or other beauty products. These can leave residue that dulls the diamond.

3. Will chemicals like bleach or chlorine damage my diamond jewellery?
Yes—while the diamond itself is very hard, the setting (gold, silver, etc.) can be corroded or weakened by harsh chemicals. Always remove jewellery before exposure and rinse if accidental contact occurs.

4. What storage is best when travelling?
Use a travel jewellery case with separate padded compartments. Keep pendants, rings, and earrings apart to avoid scratching or tangling.

5. How can I tell if a stone has become loose?
If you hear a rattling when gently shaking or tapping the piece, see movement in the stone, or prongs look bent or worn, it could be loose. Visit a professional jeweller immediately.
