A Sustainable Guide on How to Clean Your Precious Diamonds

Sustainable Diamond Care: Keep Your Sparkle, Honor Your Values

Diamonds are forever — but keeping their brilliance alive takes mindful care. At Amaraa, we believe that how you care for your jewelry should reflect the same love and responsibility with which it was made. That’s why we’ve curated a sustainable diamond cleaning guide to help you keep your pieces radiant, the eco-conscious way.

1. Gentle Cleaning Rituals: A Sparkle Without Compromise

Skip the harsh chemicals — your diamonds don’t need them. Instead, soak your pieces in a bowl of lukewarm water with a few drops of mild, eco-friendly soap. Use a soft brush (like a baby toothbrush) to gently scrub away dirt and oils. Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

Pro Tip: Never use hot water — it can cause thermal shock and damage the stone or setting.

2. Choose Mindfully: Sustainable Materials Matter

When expanding your jewelry collection, opt for pieces made from lab-grown diamonds and recycled metals. These materials reduce environmental impact while offering the same luxury, sparkle, and longevity.
At Amaraa, sustainability is at the heart of every piece we create.

3. Keep It Regular: The Art of Maintenance

Incorporate simple weekly or bi-weekly cleans into your routine. Over time, lotions, dust, and skin oils can dull your diamond’s sparkle.

For deeper cleans, visit a professional jeweler (like us!) every 6–12 months for an inspection and ultrasonic cleaning.

4. Protect Your Investment: Handle with Care

Different metals and settings require different care. Be especially cautious with:

  • Delicate pavé or halo settings

  • Soft metals like gold or platinum

Avoid abrasive tools or chemical-heavy products — they can loosen stones or damage the finish.
Always store your pieces in a soft-lined jewelry box to prevent scratching and wear.

5. Say No to Harsh Chemicals

Many household cleaners contain chlorine, bleach, or ammonia — all of which can corrode metal and cloud your diamond.
Stick to natural, biodegradable cleaning solutions that clean effectively without harming your jewelry or the planet.

More Than Clean: A Conscious Choice

Cleaning your jewelry is more than a beauty ritual — it’s a reflection of your values. By adopting these eco-conscious practices, you not only preserve the timeless beauty of your diamonds but also support a more ethical and sustainable jewelry industry.
