Simulated diamond rings, like those featuring Lorna Simulated Diamonds, are stunning pieces of jewelry that can shine just as brilliantly as natural diamonds. To maintain their sparkle and beauty, it’s essential to care for them properly. In this guide, we will provide you with detailed steps and tips to keep your ring looking its best.
Understanding Lorna Simulated Diamond
Lorna Simulated Diamond is a lab-created gemstone crafted to mimic the appearance and properties of natural diamonds. Composed of real diamond carbon, it features a core of diamond crystals embedded inside, giving it a real diamond overlay. This unique construction ensures exceptional brilliance and durability, rivaling that of natural diamonds. While Lorna Simulated Diamonds are designed to resist scratches and wear, they still require proper care to maintain their stunning sparkle and prevent potential damage from exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme conditions.
Understanding 925 Silver
925 silver is an alloy made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This combination provides strength and durability while retaining the aesthetic qualities of pure silver. While 925 silver is resistant to corrosion, it can tarnish over time due to exposure to air, moisture, and certain chemicals.
Preventing Tarnish and Fading
It's simple: Keep them dry.
- Store in a Dry Place: Keep your jewelry in a dry environment. Avoid humid places, as moisture can be harmful to any type of jewelry.
- Separate Storage: Store your pieces separately in a soft cloth or a jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangles.
- Avoid Beauty Products: Keep your jewelry away from beauty products like moisturizers, hair spray, deodorants, and perfumes to prevent damage.
- Protect from Harsh Chemicals: Avoid exposing your jewelry to harsh chemicals such as household cleaners or chlorine, which can damage the finish and gemstones.
- Remove During Physical Activities: Take off your jewelry before engaging in physical activities, like sports or household chores, to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.
- Regular Cleaning: Maintain your ring's shine by gently wiping away dust and surface debris with a soft cloth. Regular cleaning helps prevent tarnish and keeps your silver looking its best.
How to Clean Your Ring
Many jewelers offer cleaning services for your ring. However, for at-home maintenance, we recommend using a mild dish detergent solution. Here’s how to clean your ring at home:
- Prepare a Solution: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water in a bowl.
- Soak the Ring: Place your ring in the solution and let it soak for a few minutes to loosen any dirt or oils.
- Gently Scrub: Use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the ring, focusing on detailed areas and crevices.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the ring under warm running water to remove any soap residue.
- Dry and Polish: Pat the ring dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. For an extra shine, you may use a silver polishing cloth.
Optional Ammonia Solution: To achieve an extra shine, you may create a diluted ammonia solution (one part ammonia to three parts water) for a brief soak. Always follow with a thorough rinsing and gentle drying with a soft cloth.
Important Note: When using ammonia, perform the cleaning over an open drain with a strainer in place.
How Often to Clean
For everyday wear, a simple cleaning every two weeks with a soft brush and lukewarm water is sufficient. For an extra dose of sparkle, consider using a neutral gemstone cleaner.
When to Remove Your Ring
- During Physical Activities: When engaging in sports or exercise to prevent damage or injury.
- When Handling Harsh Chemicals: While cleaning with household cleaners or using chlorine, as these can damage the metal and gemstones.
- In Water: Before swimming in pools, hot tubs, or the ocean to avoid exposure to chlorine and saltwater, which can tarnish and weaken the metal.
- While Applying Beauty Products: When using lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and deodorants to prevent buildup and potential damage to the finish.
- During Heavy Lifting or Manual Labor: To avoid scratches, dents, and unnecessary wear and tear.
- In High Temperatures: When exposed to excessive heat, such as while cooking or using a sauna, as it can weaken the metal and affect the gemstones.
