Clarity enhanced diamonds require specialized care to maintain their appeal. These diamonds undergo the treatment process of injecting a unique optically-correct substance into each inclusion or fracture. Diamond processors conduct this procedure under extremely high pressure in a lab, and its results are often permanent under most conditions. Cleaning clarity-enhanced diamonds well is essential.

Cleaning Tips for Clarity Enhanced Diamonds

Here are considerations when cleaning clarity enhanced diamonds:

Avoid Ammonia-Based Cleaners

Don't use ammonia-based cleaners. You risk degrading the clarity-enhanced diamond's filling if you expose the gemstone to this solution. The degradation can make the clarity-enhanced diamond wear away eventually. Many jewelry cleaning solutions have ammonia. Look carefully to ensure ammonia isn't a listed ingredient before buying them. Did you know most household cleaning products have ammonia? Put your clarity-enhanced diamond away when cleaning to prevent these acidic solutions from degrading it.

Make Your Easy DIY Cleaning Solution

You can make your cleaning solution to protect your clarity-enhanced diamond. A mild mixture of warm soapy water can clean the gemstone.

Steps To Follow When Cleaning Clarity Enhanced Diamonds

Follow these steps to clean clarity enhanced diamonds:
  1. Let the clarity-enhanced diamond sit in warm soapy water for around ten minutes.
  2. Remove it and use a baby toothbrush to loosen dirt attached to your jewel. The toothbrush has soft bristles and a small brush head that prevent scratching the metal when cleaning the gemstone.
  3. Rinse the diamond.
  4. Air dry the jewelry on a clean towel.
