Caring for Radiant Cut Diamond Engagement Rings

Radiant cut diamond engagement rings are among the most valuable of the diamond rings and it is important to give them proper care. Some women take them off just to wash the dishes but not all women feel this is necessary. Most experts agree that harsh chemicals are not good for diamond rings and they advocate taking off your rings and other fine jewelry before doing any housework. Not only are harsh chemicals bad for jewelry but just the act of washing dishes or cleaning the house opens you up to accidently banging your diamond ring against a hard surface.

While most diamonds are not exactly fragile, they will last longer and hold their luster better and longer if they are well taken care of. Even oils from the fingers and oils from makeup can take their toll on fine diamonds and so it is important to properly clean radiant cut diamond engagement rings every now and then.

Some people just use a mild soap to clean their diamond rings and other individuals will only use jewelry cleaner. You also have to take into consideration the metals that make up the band and use only what is appropriate to clean your ring. It would be a good idea to ask the jeweler from whom you buy the ring what is the best way to take care of it.

If you do take off your diamond ring to clean the house or to shower or swim, be sure and put it in a safe place. Far too many women have lost their precious engagement rings by leaving them by the sink. In addition, when you travel be extra careful. Since chlorine is one of the chemicals that are not good for diamond rings, if you stay in a resort or a hotel where you will be swimming, take extra care to put your ring in a safe place, perhaps the hotel safe. Radiant cut diamond engagement rings will last a lifetime when properly cared for.
