Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaner – Diamond Jewelry Cleaning

Diamond is the most preferred gemstone for an engagement ring. The glitter and sparkling effect of a diamond defines its beauty. If not taken good care, this glitter fades away and makes the diamond look less valuable.


Several methods are available for cleaning diamond jewelry, one of them being the use of Ultrasonic cleaners. This technique is used when a diamond becomes truly filthy by daily use of it. It is a heavy duty cleaning technique. So it is used only when the diamond cannot be cleaned using an ordinary cleaner.


Before using the ultrasonic cleaner to clean the diamond, the outer layer of the diamond should be first cleaned by an ordinary cleaning method. The cleaner uses cavitations for cleaning the diamond jewelry. Cavitations are nothing but microscopic bubbles. The ultrasonic cleaner uses high and low pressure waves which are produced by high frequency (ultrasonic) sound. These waves create those cavitations (minute cleaning bubbles). The bubbles collapse and form a scrubbing material which has enormous cleaning capacity. It loosens out the dirt in the cracks and minute areas of the ring (regardless of any kind of complicated setting used in the jewelry). Then, a high pressure steamer blasts away the particles.


Ultrasonic cleaners should be used once a month for cleaning diamond jewelry


Ultrasonic cleaners are not suitable for Opal, Pearl, Emerald, Tanzanite, Malachite, Turquoise, Lapis and Coral. They may damage these gemstones. So if jewelry contains any of these gemstones then ultrasonic cleaners should be avoided

Gift Loose Diamonds on Mother’s Day

Diamond is a woman’s best friend and thus the best gift to give your mom on this Mother’s Day. And when these extra precious stones come loose without any mounting, the creative aspect of any woman is bound to get evoked. This is because of the ‘Customize Jewelry’ option available at almost every jewelry store today, wherein the loose diamond owner can choose any setting of ring, earrings or pendant to mount her diamond as per her likes and dislikes.

But before going ahead and purchasing loose diamonds for your mom on this Mother’s Day in a haphazard manner, remember a few prerequisites that will make your purchase an easier and better one:-

The Four C’s-
The four C’s i.e. Cut, Color, Clarity & Carat are the most crucial factors that most of us unknowingly brush aside while buying diamonds. It’s important to do a detailed analysis of these four factors as even a slightest of cleft or a smallest of inclusions or color patches can sink the worth of your diamond.

Shapes-
Find out what shape of diamond your mom has always admired. Browse through our elaborate blog to know more about the various shapes available in diamonds. Check for trends, look for prices and then decide which diamond shape appeals most to your mom.

Pricing-
Everything starting from cut, color, clarity, carat & shape decides the cost of a diamond. E.g. A marquise shape diamond with 2.01 cttw., Excellent cut, D color grade & IF clarity would cost you more than a heart shape diamond but much less than an emerald shape diamond having the same attributes. Thus the criteria for determining the price of a diamond are vast and should be examined well before randomly picking up any diamond.

Certification-
Proper certification makes your diamond purchase a lot easier as these authorized documents by GIA (Gemological Institute of America) or AGS (American Gem Society) provide the exact details of the diamond assuring its authenticity. Don’t entertain diamonds without certification as they may mislead you and create difficulties for your mom during a resale.

After you have understood these factors thoroughly, you can get set going for your diamond purchase and find the best one to present your mom on this Mother’s Day taking care of your pockets as well.
