This article will teach you how to clean and take care of your jewelry, specifically your beloved diamond ring.
Before you start cleaning the piece, check the stone and its setting. Make sure the stone is still strongly attached to it, take note of the arrangement of the stone or stones on its setting and memorize its features. You don’t want to remove the stone from its setting in the process of cleaning it. Next, search for the problem areas. Look for scratches and damages in both stone and setting. You can do this by tapping the stones with your fingers gently, make sure the stones don’t move from its setting when you touch it. If there are any movable stones, you better not clean the 5 stone diamond anniversary band yourself and take it to professional jewelers for repair instead.

If your accessory has accumulated dirt and it really needs serious cleaning, wash the ring in a bowl of water with Ivory dish soap. Brush it gently using a soft toothbrush, an old used toothbrush will do. Then place it back in a bowl of water and rinse it well there. Dry the piece carefully using soft cloth. Make sure the thread of the cloth doesn’t get caught between the prongs of the diamond ring. Lastly, make sure your jewelry is in tact and there are no movable stones.
