All you need is a very soft baby's toothbrush, some soap and water – with emphasis on the ‘soft’!

Over time claws may wear causing the diamond to be less secure. So make sure you are as gentle as possible with your jewels.

The bristles on a baby’s toothbrush are fine and soft. This enables it to wriggle its way inside the setting and into the smaller, more intricate parts of the ring. It’s the perfect tool to remove any dirt and unwanted grime. After that, splash a bit of water over it and your ring should instantly sparkle, just like when you first got it.

Is there still some dirt stubbornly lodged inside the ring? Bring it into any one of our stores. Our ultra-sonic cleaning machines will be able to shift these using micro-vibrations.

After a while you might start thinking “my ring looks dull and tired”. This is when you should come to us and let the experts give your ring some TLC. Just like you would get your car serviced or a check-up at the doctors, your diamonds too need regular maintenance!

For this, we recommend a Clean, Check and Polish service (CCP) every 12-18 months. This means your diamond is checked for security and the claws are tightened if required. A full clean of the setting and diamond, and also a polish of the metal is carried out.

Any possible damage or issues are also highlighted at this stage. It is a good way to keep your diamond in good condition and sparkling, plus the metal will look shiny and new.
