Diamonds are majestic. But they do require proper care to retain their sparkle and brilliance. Whether you have just purchased a stunning engagement ring or inherited a family heirloom, you want to ensure that your 18k diamond jewellery remains shiny and lustrous for years. So, how can you keep your diamonds shining forever? We have gathered some tips to help you understand how to keep your 18k diamond jewellery shiny forever.

Clean your jewellery regularly

Cleaning your 18k diamond jewellery regularly is essential to maintain its shine and brilliance. Clean your jewellery at home with warm water and mild soap. Soak your jewellery in the solution for about 20-30 minutes and gently scrub it with a soft-bristled brush. Rinse it with clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth. Alternatively, you can use a jewellery cleaning solution specifically designed for diamonds and follow the instructions carefully.

Store your jewellery properly

Proper storage is crucial to keep your 18k diamond jewellery shiny forever. Store your jewellery in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid storing your jewellery in a damp area as it can cause damage to the metal and stone. You can store your jewellery in a box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches and other damages.

Avoid wearing your jewellery while doing physical activities

 Wearing Hatton Garden engagement rings while doing physical activities such as exercising, swimming, or cleaning can damage them. The chemicals in cleaning products can cause discolouration and corrosion of the metal. The chlorine in swimming pools can cause damage to the stone as well. Therefore, it is best to avoid wearing your jewellery during such activities.

Be cautious while wearing your jewellery

Being cautious while wearing your 18k diamond jewellery can go a long way in maintaining its shine and brilliance. Avoid wearing your jewellery while doing household chores or while playing sports. Remove your jewellery before applying beauty products such as lotions, perfumes, or hairsprays, as they can cause damage to the metal and stone. Before going to bed, remember to remove them, as they can get caught in the bedding and cause damage.

Get your jewellery inspected and serviced regularly

Regular inspection and servicing of your 18k diamond jewellery can help identify any potential issues before they become bigger problems. You can take your jewellery to a professional like Hatton Garden Jewellers for inspection and servicing. They can check the prongs and settings of the stone and ensure they are secure. Professionals can also clean and polish your jewellery to restore its shine and lustre.

Keeping your 18k diamond jewellery shiny forever requires proper care and maintenance. Cleaning your jewellery regularly, storing it properly in a box, not wearing them during physical activities, getting it inspected and serviced regularly, and being cautious while wearing it can help retain its shine and brilliance. By following these tips, you can ensure that your engagement ring or any other 18k diamond jewellery remains a timeless and treasured piece for generations to come.
