Safeguard your precious pieces from impacts, scratches, contact with chemicals, and minimize their exposure to sunlight and extreme temperatures. By heeding these guidelines, your Alaya Jewels will continue to exude timeless beauty for years to come.

Taking care of diamond jewelry is essential to ensure its longevity and brilliance. Here are several key tips in numerical order:

  1. Store Separately: Keep diamond jewelry in separate pouches or compartments to prevent scratching and damage.

  2. Safe Handling: Handle diamond jewelry with clean hands to avoid transferring oils and dirt onto the stones.

  3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep diamonds away from harsh chemicals, such as chlorine, which can damage the metal settings.

  4. Remove When Showering or Bathing: It's advisable to take off your diamond jewelry before showering or bathing, as soap, shampoos, and other products can leave residue that dulls the sparkle over time.

  5. Avoid Spraying Perfumes and Lotions: Try to apply perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays before putting on your diamond jewelry, as these products can contain chemicals that may affect the metal and the diamonds' brilliance.

  6. Regular Inspection: Inspect settings and prongs to ensure they are secure and diamonds are properly in place.

  7. Protection from Impact: Avoid knocking diamond jewelry against hard surfaces to prevent chips or cracks.

  8. Resizing: Have rings resized by a professional jeweler if needed to ensure a comfortable and safe fit.

Guide to Cleaning Your Diamond Jewelry

Cleaning diamond jewelry is a straightforward process, and here's how you can do it:

  1. Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Create a mixture of warm water and a mild dishwashing detergent. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

  2. Soak the Jewelry: Place your diamond jewelry in the cleaning solution and let it soak for 15-30 minutes. This helps to loosen dirt and grime.

  3. Scrub Gently: Use a soft toothbrush or a jewelry brush to gently scrub the diamond and the metal settings. Pay attention to the underside of the diamond where oils and dirt can accumulate.

  4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the jewelry under warm running water to remove any remaining cleaning solution. Be sure to plug the sink to avoid accidental loss.

  5. Dry with a Soft Cloth: Gently pat the jewelry dry with a lint-free and clean cloth. Avoid using paper towels, as they can scratch the metal or diamond.

  6. Inspect Your Jewelry: After cleaning, inspect your diamond jewelry to ensure all dirt and grime have been removed. Make sure settings and prongs are secure.

Note: For more delicate or antique pieces, it's advisable to consult a professional jeweler for cleaning to avoid any potential damage.

Remember to clean your diamond jewelry regularly to maintain its sparkle and brilliance.
