Lab Diamond Jewellery Care Tips

Lab grown diamonds have the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural mined diamonds. They're just as brilliant—and with proper care, they’ll stay that way for a lifetime.

Here are our essential tips to keep your lab diamond jewellery looking flawless.

1. Clean Your Jewellery at Home

Lab diamonds attract everyday buildup like skin oils, lotion, and dust. To clean at home:

• Mix boiling water with a few drops of mild dish soap. Stir to mix well.
• Soak your jewellery for 15–20 minutes. This will degrease your jewellery.
• Gently brush with a soft-bristle toothbrush.
• Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. 
• To avoid watermarks on larger surfaces, you can also wrap it with a lint-free cloth and use a hair dryer to thoroughly blow dry.

Avoid using bleach, chlorine, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the metal settings.

2. Store Each Piece Safely

Protect your jewellery from scratches and tangles:

• Use a fabric-lined jewellery box with separate compartments.
• For travel, store pieces in individual pouches or cases.
• Do not store multiple pieces together—diamonds can scratch each other.

3. Remove Jewellery During Physical Activity

To avoid unnecessary wear or damage, remove your jewellery when:

• Exercising or playing sports
• Cleaning or using household chemicals
• Swimming in pools or the ocean
• Gardening or doing DIY projects

4. Schedule Annual Inspections

Have your jewellery checked by a professional once a year to:

• Ensure prongs and settings are secure
• Catch early signs of wear on bands or clasps
  
• Pave diamonds or high settings are slightly more vulnerable to prongs loosening over time, so definitely check them annually

5. Avoid Contact with Beauty Products

Lotions, perfumes, and hairspray can dull your diamond’s shine. Apply these products before putting on your jewellery, and remove your pieces before going to bed to prevent residue and damage.

Your lab grown diamond jewellery is made to last a lifetime. With these simple care tips, you’ll preserve its beauty, brilliance, and meaning for years to come.
