Hello! How often do you wear diamond rings? and if every day, how do you wash your hands? I read that diamonds are better not to soak, and especially not to use soap and other cleansing agents. or is it all a myth. and one more question. How often have you dropped rings on the floor? if a diamond ring falls to the floor, will it crack or crack?
It’s a myth. Washing your diamonds with soap is totally okay. Actually my jeweler said I can use a tiny drop of dawn in my ultrasonic jewelry cleaner (30 seconds cleaning)! But that’s just my jeweler, I’d take everything someone says with a grain of salt as a disclaimer however I have tried it and no issues and my rings came out way brighter and cleaner!
I use Town Talk products to clean and polish my jewellery. It’s a wonderful range, I do have an ultrasonic cleaner but it’s not ideal for any channel set jewellery.
Hi, the others are right. It is fine to wash your diamond rings using a drop of washing liquid with warm water. I wear my ring almost all the time so I wash them daily. And yes unfortunately I've dropped rings on floors before and one of my diamonds had a chip so I had to get it reset. I believe its better to get a diamond with a medium to thick girdle as it makes it more resistant to chipping.
I was told by a SA at Tiffanys to use the hottest water you can stand, and using a babies toothbrush with a little washing up liquid. I do this fairly regularly (well when I remember) and my diamond always comes up beautifully sparkly.
yes my jeweler told me the same!
Iphone photos, so not the best. Got it after 5 years after my original set was stolen in a burglary. I wear the band on my right hand now since I feel like it is too much with my e-ring. Thinking of getting 1.5mm comfort fit plain band and a diamond band like the Tiffany Metro.Attachments
My upgraded set. My husband and I got engaged at 19 so the black diamond center stone of this was originally set in sterling silver in a $170 ring which wore horribly and all the accent stones fell out. I wore my grandma’s grandma’s ring for a very long time and then for my 3 year sober anniversary (which was a gift in and of itself) my husband wanted to do something nice for me so he reset my original center stone and let me pick out two bands to go with it. Thanks for letting me share! I love seeing everyone’s beautiful rings!
