The two-minute ritual
Soak in warm water with a drop of mild soap, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, rinse, and pat dry. Diamonds attract grease, so a quick clean restores their fire instantly.
Everyday habits
- Put jewelry on last — after lotion, perfume, and hairspray
- Take rings off for heavy lifting or harsh chemicals
- Store pieces separately so they don't scratch one another
What to avoid
Chlorine, abrasive cleaners, and ultrasonic machines on pieces with treated or natural stones. When in doubt, warm water and a soft cloth never fail.
