Step 1: Preparing the Cleaning Solution
Begin by filling a bowl with warm water. Add a few drops of liquid dish soap to create a gentle cleaning solution. Submerge your diamond jewelry in the solution and let it soak for about 20 minutes. This step helps to loosen any buildup of dirt or oils.
Step 2: Gently Scrubbing the Jewelry
After soaking, use a soft-bristled toothbrush to scrub your pieces gently. Focus on getting between the settings and over the diamonds, targeting the hard-to-reach areas like the underside of the diamond. This careful scrubbing removes residual grime without harming the stone or setting.
Step 3: Rinsing and Drying
Rinse the jewelry under warm water, ensuring that all soap suds are washed away. Pat your jewelry dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. If available, use a specialized jewelry polishing cloth to give your diamond extra shine, ensuring it's completely dry and free from fibers.
