    I heard that if you dont keep up with cleaning your diamonds they will not increase in value over the years and be pretty much worthless..Is this TRUE?? What is the best way to clean my ring?

    Don't waste your money on jewelry cleaners. In the jewelry stores I have worked in (and what I use at home in a pinch) the best way to clean your ring (other than professionally with an ultrasonic cleaner or a steam cleaner) is to soak it in a solution of 1 part hot water, 1 part sudzy ammonia, and 1 part Simple Green. Let the ring soak for 15 minutes, more or less depending on how dirty the ring is, then with an old toothbrush (do not use toothpaste, the paste can collect under the stone) scrub the ring thoroughly, rinse with warm water and dry with a paper towel.

    BTW, keeping your diamonds clean (or not) have no impact on how they retain value.

    3. You can learn more about the it s 4 and access other useful resources to learn about the diamond throughout the purchase process. The major online retailers now offer very good videos online to help you do so.
    4. A large amount of variety to choose from, giving you more options in your budget.
    Disadvantages:-.
    1. The biggest problem is that you really want to buy an expensive jewelry view invisible. If you are the type of the buyer, who loves to feel the diamond in his hand before making the purchase, then the online purchase is not for you.
    2. Some online retailers have questionable refund policies and you must be aware of these.
    3. You must ensure that the diamonds you buy online are certified by independent and reputable organizations such as the GIA, IGI etc..
    Purchase of diamonds in offline mode:
    Advantages:-.
    1 The largest advantage of the purchase of diamonds from a brick and mortar store offline, is that you get check diamond physically and compare it to other diamonds before you buy.
    2 Customer is generally much better and personal to the diamonds online retailers.
    3. If you have time, can hunt for bargains, especially in stores that are liquidating their stock because of the current recession.
    Disadvantages:-.
    1. The price of diamonds would be generally higher than online stores because of the more general as the rent, etc..
    2. Limited range of actions, you can not find too many options, according to your budget.

    During the course of wearing diamond jewelry, the diamonds will lose brilliance and shine. When we wear them, they get smudged or soiled. Even when not wearing them, they tend to collect dust. The use of lotions, soaps, fragrances and, even our natural skin oils, can cause diamond jewelry to become filmy and grimy, minimizing their true brilliance. Get back that brilliance and shine by learning how to clean diamond jewelry. All it takes is a few minutes and a little care to restore your diamonds to their full luster.
    Before cleaning diamond jewelry, gather up your materials. You will need a small soft brush, such as an eyebrow or lipstick brush, soap/detergent,water, strainer, lint free cloth and a small bowl. Make a warm sudsy water solution in the bowl using the soap/detergent and water. Then, place your diamond jewelry into the solution. Proceed to brush the diamonds as they sit in the soapy solution. After cleaning, rinse the jewelry underneath cool water using a small strainer. Finally, use a lint free or a jewelry polish cloth, to dry and shine your diamonds..
    If your diamond jewelry needs a stronger cleaning, the use of ammonia and water may suffice. Using a small half and half solution of ammonia and water, soak your diamond jewelry for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove them from the solution and gently brush each item accordingly. After brushing the item, return it to the bowl. Repeat for the next jewelry item. After all the items have been cleaned and returned to the solution, swish them around for a few seconds then remove them. Proceed to rinse and dry as outlined in the previous paragraph. An alternative to mixing solutions yourself to clean your jewelry, is to purchase an already made jewelry cleaning solution. This could be in the form of a solution kit or a machine, designed to clean jewelry.
    Many retailers sell a premixed solution or a jewelry cleaning kit, which contains all of the materials needed for a thorough jewelry cleaning. This would include the solution and drying and polishing cloths. Be certain to read to product information to ensure that the solution you purchase is designed for cleaning the metal and gemstones of your jewelry.
    In recent years, we have been introduced to ultrasonic jewelry cleaners. Designed to make jewelry cleaning effortless and efficient, ultrasonic jewelry cleaners use high-frequency to produce a cleaning motion. Many machines come with premixed solution and dry/polishing cloths as well. Some cleanser are even designed to clean not only diamond jewelry, but some watches, and eyeglasses as well. So the ability to be able to use it to clean other accessories is an added bonus for consumers.
    Whichever method you choose, it is important to take care of your jewelry by cleaning it regularly. This will ensure that, not only will it keep its brilliance, it can continue to be worn for years to come, becoming a part of the family heirlooms.

    How is the best way to clean my diamond ring?

    I have a fab engagement ring and recently got it cleaned at the jewellers and it looks amazing. I've read you can buy jewellery cleaning kits but also that you can do it yourself at home with ammonia or detergent. Do the kits do a better job? Or are they a waste of money? Does the detergent get the same result? Any other tips greatly appreciated :-)
