Essential Daily Care Practices for Lab-Grown Diamonds
Three essential practices form the foundation of daily lab-grown diamond care, beginning with a gentle cleaning routine that you'll want to incorporate into your regular jewellery maintenance.
By performing daily cleaning with a soft, lint-free cloth and conducting regular inspections for signs of wear, you'll preserve your diamond's remarkable brilliance as you join the ranks of savvy diamond enthusiasts who prioritise proper care.

To maintain your lab-grown diamond's pristine condition, carefully remove it before applying lotions or perfumes, and store it separately from other jewellery pieces to prevent scratches.
During your morning routine, take a moment to examine your diamond's setting and surface under good lighting, noting any changes that might require professional attention—a practice that distinguishes informed diamond owners from casual collectors.
