If a stone moves, a prong looks bent or the piece has suffered an impact, stop and take it to a jeweller. Cleaning should never come before a security check.<\/p>\n<h2>Use a soft touch<\/h2>\n<p>For securely set brilliant-cut diamond jewellery, use lukewarm water with a small amount of mild washing-up liquid and a very soft toothbrush. Work gently around the back of the stone, where soap, hand cream and skin oils tend to collect. Rinse carefully and dry with a lint-free cloth.<\/p>\n<h2>What not to do<\/h2>\n<p>Do not use a hard brush, abrasive powder, bleach or force. Delicate pav\u00e9 and baguette settings contain many small stones and should preferably be cleaned by a professional. Traditional foil-backed or rose-cut jewellery should not be soaked because liquid can affect the backing.<\/p>\n<h2>Professional care<\/h2>\n<p>Home cleaning removes surface residue; it does not polish the metal or repair a setting. Periodic workshop care allows the jeweller to inspect the prongs, clean hard-to-reach areas and restore the finish safely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A gentle routine can remove everyday residue, but the setting should always be checked first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":261,"featured_media":142538,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1026],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-181665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/im-diamond.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/im-diamond.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/im-diamond.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/im-diamond.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/261"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/im-diamond.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=181665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/im-diamond.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/im-diamond.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/im-diamond.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=181665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/im-diamond.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=181665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/im-diamond.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=181665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
