How to Care for Your Diamond Jewelry: A Guide from Atelier Diamanti in Rome

Diamond jewelry is a precious investment, a symbol of unforgettable moments and a masterpiece of craftsmanship. To maintain its brilliance and beauty over time, it's essential to give it the proper care and attention. At Atelier Diamanti e Gioielli in Rome, we offer a comprehensive guide to caring for your precious pieces, ensuring they continue to sparkle like the day they were first made.

Proper maintenance not only preserves the aesthetic value of your jewelry, but also ensures its longevity.

1. Regular Cleaning: Make Your Diamonds Shine

Cleanliness is the secret to keeping your diamonds sparkling . Dust, natural skin oils, lotions, and cosmetics can dull their surface.

  • Do-It-Yourself Cleaning (Weekly/Monthly):
  • Prepare a solution of warm water and neutral soap (e.g. mild dish detergent).
  • Soak the jewelry for 20-40 minutes.
  • Use a soft-bristled brush (such as a baby's toothbrush) to gently remove any dirt around the diamond and setting.
  • Rinse thoroughly under running water (make sure the drain is closed to avoid spills!).
  • Dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Professional Cleaning (Annual):

For a deep cleaning and to check the integrity of the setting, it is advisable to take your jewelry to a  atelier in Rome At least once a year. We use professional techniques like ultrasonic cleaning to remove even the most stubborn dirt.

2. Proper Storage: Protect Your Valuables

Although diamonds are the hardest gemstones, they can scratch other jewelry or be damaged if not stored properly.

  • Store each piece of jewelry separately in a soft fabric-lined jewelry box, or in individual cloth bags.
  • Avoid storing them in humid places or exposed to sudden changes in temperature.

3. Be careful with daily use: prevention is better than cure

A few simple habits can make a big difference:

  • Remove jewelry during physical activities: Sports, housework, and gardening can expose jewelry to bumps and scratches.
  • Avoid contact with chemicals: Chlorine (swimming pool), cleaning products, perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions can damage the metal or tarnish the diamond. Wear your jewelry only after applying these products.
  • Check the prongs regularly: The small prongs that hold the diamond can become loose. Regular visual inspection can prevent loss of the stone.

4. Professional Inspections: Safety First

An annual inspection by an expert goldsmith is essential. At Atelier Diamanti e Gioielli in Rome , we'll check:

  • The integrity of the claws and the setting.
  • Any signs of wear or damage.
  • The need for polishing or rhodium plating (for white gold).

This service ensures that your jewelry is always safe and at its best.
