Keep It Shining On: Everyday Tips for Lab Grown Diamond Care
What should & shouldn’t I be doing to care for my lab diamond jewellery?
Ever wondered how to keep your lab grown diamond from Infinity Diamond Jewellery looking its best? It’s simpler than you might think, and just like a natural diamond, it needs a bit of TLC every now and then to keep its sparkle.
When people first learn about this incredible feat of science (which you yourself can read all about on our Lab-Diamond Information page!), they’re often quick to pick it over traditional diamond, especially after weighing up the better price points & ethical benefits
And as jewellers ourselves, we get it - with the everyday wear to the little accidents that life throws our way, several things can dull your shiny stone. So it's the grime from daily chores or an unexpected scratch, understanding what affects your diamond's dazzle is the first step to keeping it brilliant. What luck you’ve got - because our team have put together some of their top tips below for you!
Simple steps to a sparkling finish
Let’s start with a quick cleaning guide. All it takes is a bit of soap and warm water. Yes, that’s right – just the stuff you've got at home!
Here’s a nice straightforward approach:
1) Grab a soft-bristled brush, some fragrance-free soap, and a couple of clean towels.
2) Then, start by placing a towel down. Soak your diamond or jewellery piece in a mixture of lukewarm water and soap for about five minutes.
3) Gently brush the diamond, then rinse it in clean water and dry with another towel.
Keeping it clean: What should I avoid doing?
When reaching for cleaning supplies, steer clear of harsh chemicals. Items like bleach and ammonia can damage your diamond’s appearance. Instead, stick to gentle cleaning products or invest in a professional jewellery cleaning solution for those deeper cleans.

Routine care to keep that lasting shine
Looking after your diamond involves a bit more than occasional cleaning. Giving your diamond jewellery a rest from daily wear can significantly extend its lifespan and lustre. Store your pieces in a compartmentalised jewellery box to avoid scratches and keep everything sparkling.
Even with regular care, your diamond will benefit from a thorough cleaning now and then. Consider having your jewellery professionally cleaned at least once a year to maintain its pristine condition and ensure the range of stunning lab diamond pieces we offer - like the ones below - continue to turn heads with its brilliance. Just look how stunning they are!
