ultrasonic cleaners with high-frequency sound waves and chemicals are used by jewelers to professionally clean their products. They also use a variety of other cleaning methods, such as hand-washing with soap and water, hand washing with a mild detergent, or a combination of the two.

How do diamond rings get cleaned?
Making a solution with warm water and dishwashing soap is the best way to clean diamond rings. After soaking your ring for about 20 to 40 minutes, brush the stone with a soft toothbrush, and then rinse it under warm running water.
If you do not have access to a warm bath, you can also use a hot water bottle, but be careful not to let the bottle get too hot or it may burn your finger. If you are not sure how hot the water should be for your particular ring, consult your jeweler for advice.
How do they clean rings at jewelry stores?
Jewelers use ultrasonic cleaners with high frequency sound waves and chemicals, which create bubbles that latch on to the dirt on the diamond. The dirt can be picked up by a vacuum cleaner when the sound waves pull the dirt away from the stone. Diamonds have been used in jewelry for thousands of years, but only in the last few decades has the technology advanced enough to make them practical for everyday use.
How do professionals clean rings at home?
Put 1 cup of warm water and 1 cup of dishwashing liquid in a container. Place your jewelry in the solution for about 5 minutes and then gently scrub it with a soft tooth brush. Carefully towel-dry with a paper towel or a clean towel.
How often should I get my ring professionally cleaned?
We recommend that you get your ring cleaned and inspected by a professional every 6 months. Professional cleanings may cost you a small fee, depending on the jeweler and warranty. We can help you find the right one for your needs.
We offer a wide variety of styles and colors to choose from, as well as a large selection of metals and gemstones. Whether you’re looking to replace a worn or damaged ring, or just want to add a little sparkle to your existing one, we have the perfect ring for you.
How much does it cost to get a diamond ring cleaned?
Fine jewelry is not impervious to cleaning costs. Make sure the jeweler knows how to properly care for the jewelry. First, make sure you have the proper tools and equipment to get the job done. Second, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper cleaning. Third, don’t use abrasive cleaning agents such as polishes, abrasives, or solvents. These can damage the metal and cause it to become brittle.
Fourth, if you are using a polishing cloth, use it sparingly. It is best to use a cloth that is soft enough to absorb the polish, but hard enough that it won’t scratch the surface. Fifth, always wear gloves when working with jewelry. This is especially important when cleaning jewelry that has been worn for a long period of time.
Is Dawn dish soap safe for diamonds?
We recommend mild dishwashing soap (like Dawn). It is important to avoid dishwasher detergent that is too harsh and can damage the surface of the fabric.
