Care & Cleaning

  • Diamonds are easy to clean. All you need is warm water, a soft toothbrush, and mild soap.
  • Do not use toothpaste to clean diamonds.
  • Soak your diamonds in soapy water for a few minutes and gently clean them with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
  • Along with the face of the diamond, also clean the back where dirt is easily accumulated.
  • You can then wipe it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
