A solitaire engagement ring isn’t just a piece of luxurious jewellery, it’s a symbol of commitment, love, and a lifelong promise. Whether you’ve chosen a classic mined diamond or one of the many breathtaking lab grown diamond rings, keeping it in pristine condition is a must. And if you're a proud owner of a lab grown solitaire diamond ring from Ivana Jewels, here’s everything you need to know about cleaning and maintaining your precious ring the right way.
DO: Clean Your Ring Regularly at Home
Just like your relationship, your lab grown diamond engagement ring deserves regular attention because everyday dirt, oils, and lotions can dull its sparkle. Luckily, you don’t need to be a skilled expert to restore its brilliance.
How to clean your lab grown diamond ring at home:
-
Soak your lab grown diamond solitaire rings in a bowl of warm water mixed with mild dish soap.
-
Let it sit for 20–30 minutes.
-
Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the setting and diamond.
-
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
-
Pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
This method works beautifully for all lab created diamond engagement rings, including oval lab grown diamond engagement rings and lab grown diamond men rings.
DON’T: Use Harsh Chemicals or Ultrasonic Cleaners at Home
You’d think that strong cleaning agents or those ultrasonic jewellery machines will clean your ring better but those harsh chemicals like bleach or chlorine can damage the metal of your lab made diamond rings, especially if it’s set in gold or platinum.
Ultrasonic cleaners can loosen prongs over time, risking the loss of your lab diamond solitaire ring and who would want that!
DO: Take Off Your Ring During Physical Activities
While lab grown diamond rings are just as durable as mined diamonds, it’s still a good idea to remove your ring during heavy lifting, workouts, gardening, or house cleaning. This helps protect the setting and prevents scratches on the band or stone.
Whether you wear a lab grown diamond wedding band, lab grown diamond men’s ring, or an oval lab diamond engagement ring, caring for the ring’s setting is just as important as the diamond itself.
DON’T: Forget to Inspect the Prongs and Setting
Even the best lab grown diamond engagement rings need an occasional checkup. Over time, the prongs holding the stone can loosen. If you hear a slight rattle or see movement in the diamond, it’s time to visit a professional.
At Ivana Jewels, we recommend getting your lab created diamond ring inspected at least once a year, especially if it's one of our more intricate lab created engagement rings or lab created diamond bands.
DO: Store It Safely When Not Wearing It
Storing your lab grown engagement ring in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in your jewellery box prevents scratches and keeps it dust-free. Avoid tossing it in with other jewellery in a mixed bag, especially with pieces with harder stones or rough metals.
Bonus tip: This applies to all types of lab grown diamond jewellery online, including lab grown diamond tennis bracelets, lab diamond wedding bands, and lab grown diamond eternity bands.
DON’T: Direct Exposure to Lotions, Perfume, or Hairspray
Products like lotion and perfume leave a residue on diamonds, which reduces their sparkle. Always apply these products before putting on your lab diamond rings or diamond lab created engagement rings.
This tiny change in routine can make a big difference, especially with lab grown solitaire rings, where the single stone is the centerpiece.
