Lab-grown diamonds have similar physical and chemical properties to natural diamonds, so their maintenance methods are similar to natural diamonds, but there are still some special precautions. Here are tips and suggestions for maintaining lab-grown diamonds to help you ensure that they maintain their beauty and durability.
Daily Cleaning
Lab-grown diamond rings need to be cleaned regularly. Since most Lab-grown diamond rings use claw setting, channel setting, and other setting methods, while retaining good light transmittance, the gap of the ring is increased. Especially in summer, dust in the air and sweat stains are easily mixed to form dirt, which is mixed in the gap. The key to maintaining the luster and clarity of lab-grown diamonds is regular daily cleaning. Here are some recommended cleaning methods:
1. Mild soapy water cleaning: Mix warm water and a small amount of mild detergent (such as soapy water or dishwashing liquid) and gently brush the diamond with a soft brush. Make sure to choose a soft-bristled brush to avoid scratching the surface of the diamond.
2. Soft cloth wiping: Use a soft cloth (such as cotton cloth or jewelry-specific wipes) to gently wipe the surface of the diamond to remove dirt and fingerprints and restore the luster.
Avoid contact with chemicals
Although lab-grown diamonds are hard, they can still be damaged by chemicals. Therefore, when doing daily activities or using chemicals, please avoid exposing diamonds to the following substances:
1. Cosmetics and perfumes: Chemical ingredients may react with grease and dirt on the surface of diamonds, affecting the gloss.
2. Household cleaners: Some household cleaners contain strong acids or alkaline ingredients that may damage the surface of diamonds. It is best to take off the ring or jewelry when cleaning.
Do a good job of storage
Although lab-grown diamonds are dazzling and charming, if you are doing some work with your hands frequently, it is best to take off the Lab-grown diamond ring and store it well. Because the Lab-grown diamond ring is hard, it is easy to scratch other items. At the same time, it is also easy to cause the gloss of the Lab-grown diamond ring to decrease or the Lab-grown diamonds to fall off due to factors such as water flow impact and acid and alkali corrosion. Therefore, when doing manual labor, cleaning work, bathing, and sleeping, you need to take down the Lab-grown diamond ring and put it away properly.
Regular inspection and maintenance
Regularly check the setting and setting of lab-grown diamonds to ensure the safety and integrity of the jewelry. After wearing a lab-grown diamond ring for a long time, it is easy for the ring setting to loosen or the ring arm to deform. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check (it is recommended to check every six months) whether the Lab-grown diamond ring shows signs of loosening, and send it to the merchant for after-sales maintenance in time.
Regular professional cleaning and maintenance
It is recommended to take the lab-grown diamond jewelry to a professional jeweler for deep cleaning and inspection every once in a while. Professional cleaning can thoroughly remove the dirt inside the diamond and in the setting, and ensure that it remains in the best condition.
Conclusion
By following the above maintenance tips, you can effectively extend the life of the lab-grown diamond and maintain its charming luster and beauty.
