How to Clean Diamond Earrings?

1-In a small Tupperware dish, or small cereal bowl, fill 2 parts water and microwave on high for about one minute (almost to a boil).

2-Add 2 parts ammonia, or household glass cleaner to the heated water. This is your diamond cleaning solution

3-Gently place the diamond into cleaning solution for approximately 1.5 minutes, or until water has cooled to the touch

4-Carefully remove from the solution.Lift it by the post and not the diamond itself. For added cleaning, use a toothbrush to gently wipe away lotion, hair gel, or hair spray buildup on the lower side of the diamond.

5-After removing from cleaning solution, lay the earrings on a dry paper towel and let sit for at least five minutes. Diamonds are the hardest substance on earth and they will air dry just beautifully. The ammonia - or glass cleaner helps this process and yields a beautiful, "brand-new" look for your diamond stud earrings

Cleaning Your Diamonds

1. The Detergent Bath

Prepare a small bowl of warm suds with any of the mild liquid detergents used in the home. Brush the pieces with an eyebrow brush while they are in the suds. Then transfer them to a wire tea strainer and rinse under warm running water. Pat dry with a soft, lint-less cloth

2. The Cold Water Soak

Make a half-and-half solution of cold water and household ammonia in a cup. Soak the pieces for 30 minutes. Lift out and tap gently around the back and front of the mounting with an eyebrow brush. Swish in the solution once more and drain on tissue paper.

3. The Quick-Dip Method

Buy one of the brand-name liquid jewelry cleaners, with its kit, choosing the kind most useful to you. Read the label and follow its instructions. Don't touch your clean diamonds with your fingers. Handle your jewelry by its edges.
