Monique said:Well this is interesting, first link: "Therefore try to keep diamonds away from lotion, perspiration and other corrosive household cleaners such as ammonia or bleach cleaners", second link: "Clean your diamonds regularly using a commercial jewelry cleaner, a mix of ammonia and water, or a mild detergent". I guess pure ammonia is not good, but a dilute solution is fine? My jeweler also recommended a soapy solution of dishwashing detergent and ammonia (1:6) in warm water.
Yes, diamonds are one of the hardest materials known to man and can withstand most harsh chemicals without being damaged.
While diamonds are generally resistant to most chemicals, they can be damaged by strong acids such as hydrofluoric acid and hot caustic solutions.
Diamonds are unaffected by household bleach and can withstand exposure to it without any damage.
It is not recommended to clean diamond jewelry with harsh chemicals as it can potentially damage the metal settings or weaken the prongs holding the diamond in place. It is best to stick to gentle cleaning methods using mild soap and water or a jewelry cleaning solution specifically designed for diamonds.
It is best to avoid wearing diamond jewelry while using harsh cleaning products as they can potentially damage the metal or weaken the prongs holding the diamond in place. It is recommended to remove any jewelry before using cleaning products and to put it back on after the chemicals have been thoroughly rinsed away.
