Your solitaire diamond ring from Bliss Diamond is designed to sparkle and shine every day, but like all jewelry worn frequently, it can become dull due to the buildup of dirt, oil, and dust. The good news? Here's a guide on How to Clean a Solitaire Diamond Ring at home in minutes. With just a few household products and a couple of expert-approved hacks, you can keep your solitaire diamond ring looking as fabulous as the day you slipped it on for the very first time.
Why Cleaning Your Solitaire Ring Matters
Solitaire diamond rings look stunning when they’re clean; however, daily tasks can leave a surprising amount of residue on the stone and setting. Soap, lotion, cosmetics, and body oils will build up a layer of film. In addition to returning shine, a good cleaning ensures the ring is well-kept. A clean, pure diamond is a brighter, more brilliant diamond, and it will showcase the quality of your Diamond piece.
What You’ll Need
No need for special tools or costly jewelry cleaners. To clean your solitaire ring at home, you need:
-
Mild dish soap
-
Warm water
-
A soft toothbrush
-
Lint-free cloth
These nonabrasive tools assist in removing build-up without scratching the metal and without marring the stone.
Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
Step 1: Soak in Soapy Water
In a small bowl, put warm water and mild dish soap. Put the ring in the solution and let it soak for 10–15 minutes. This helps to free dirt and soften any buildup resting on the diamond and setting.
Step 2: Brush Away the Dirt
Use a gentle toothbrush to gently scrub over the diamond and band. Look underneath the stone and in any crevices around the setting (those little nooks can collect oil and dust). Proceed gradually and carefully to prevent scratching the metal.
Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse your ring under warm running water to wash away all soap. And don’t forget to plug the sink drain before you rinse, just in case. When the soap washes away, you’ll see a dramatic improvement in shine already.
Step 4: Dry and Polish
Dry the ring with a lint-free cloth and polish it in order to return the sparkle. This will prevent scratches to metal finishes by paper towels. If you’d like, allow to air-dry fully before wearing or storing.
What to Avoid When Cleaning
To maintain the beauty of your solitaire diamond ring, avoid:
-
Tough cleaners (anything containing ammonia or bleach
-
Abrasive brushes or cleaners
-
Home ultrasonic cleaners (they can compromise the settings)
A soft touch that saves both the stone and band.
