Welcome to our guide on caring for your lab grown diamond ring. With proper maintenance, your ring will shine bright for years to come.
Why Choose a Lab Grown Diamond?
Lab grown diamonds are an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to mined diamonds. They are chemically and physically identical to natural diamonds and are graded using the same criteria.
Eco-Friendly
Lab grown diamonds are ethical and sustainable. They don't harm the earth or support unethical mining practices.
Affordable
Lab grown diamonds are usually 20-40% less expensive than mined diamonds. You can get a bigger stone for your budget.
No Compromise
Lab grown diamonds are a smart choice. They are just as beautiful and brilliant as mined diamonds but have a better price point and ethical benefits.
Caring for Your Lab Grown Diamond Ring
- Keep Your Ring Clean
Remove your ring before applying lotions or makeup. Clean it monthly with a mild soap and water solution. Rinse and dry with a cloth.
- Store Your Ring Safely
Store your ring in a soft cloth or jewelry box. Avoid any extreme temperatures or excessive humidity.
- Avoid Exposure to Chemicals
Remove your ring before using any chemicals including household cleaning products, hairspray, hand sanitizer, or perfumes. Chemicals can damage your ring and dull its shine.
- Get Your Ring Checked Regularly
Have your ring inspected by a jeweler every 6 months. They can check for any damage, loose prongs, and make adjustments as needed.
- Don't Sleep With It On
If you toss and turn a lot while sleeping, your ring could snag on your bedding and could potentially not only damage your bedding but one of your ring's prongs. Sleeping and putting your body weight on your hands can slowly put pressure on the ring and cause it to lose its shape, risking accent stone loss.
- Remove Before Showering
Never shower with your ring on. Hair conditioner and lotions can leave a film on your diamond and your ring can slip off in the water. If our ring gets wet, avoid drying it with a paper towel that can scratch the metal. Use a soft cloth.
Cleaning Your Lab Grown Diamond Ring
Mild Soap and Water
Clean your ring in a small bowl of warm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Use a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris.
Ultrasonic Cleaner
An ultrasonic cleaner uses high frequency sound waves to remove dirt from hard-to-reach places. It's safe for lab grown diamonds and will give your ring a deep clean.
Steam Cleaner
A steam cleaner uses high pressure steam to remove dirt and grime from your ring. It's a
quick and efficient way to clean your lab grown diamond ring.
