Diamonds may be every girl's dream come true, yet even the brightest gems can lose their brilliance over time due to everyday wear and tear. Over time, grime, lotion and soap scum build-up may dull its brilliance. At TJ Gold we recognize the importance of keeping your precious stone sparkling forever and offer professional cleaning service which goes above and beyond what can be accomplished at home.
Why Professional Cleaning Is Valuable?
Although soaking your diamond in soapy water might seem like the ideal way to ensure its cleanliness, this method does not always cut it for two key reasons. First of all, its intricate settings, particularly around its prongs can harbour dirt that soap and water cannot reach. Second of all, using harsh materials or harsh chemicals at home may scratch its brilliance permanently dulling it's brilliance forever more.
Professional Cleaning at TJ Gold has many advantages:
Deep Clean: To achieve deep-clean results, our ultrasonic cleaners utilize cutting-edge ultrasonic sound waves coupled with a special cleaning solution to generate microscopic bubbles which effectively dislodge even the toughest dirt from every inch and crevice of your ring.
Expert Inspection: Our trained jewellers go beyond simply cleaning and polishing rings to conduct an expert inspection that ensures your diamond is safely set while looking out for any potential issues, like loose prongs or any potential hidden damage that might compromise its integrity. Early detection allows prompt repairs of loose prongs or any potential problems to protect and secure its precious stone against loss or misplacement.
Restoration of Shine: Once ultrasonic cleaning has taken place, your ring undergoes a meticulous polishing process designed to eliminate any remaining residue and restore its shine. We offer white gold rings with rhodium plating as an optional service to enhance their vibrant white glow and restore their brilliant white hue.
Professional Cleaning Process
1. Initial Inspection
Before your diamond goes into the cleaning solution, our skilled jeweller conducts an initial inspection to identify potential problems with it. They use high-powered magnification lenses to carefully examine all aspects of its surface using our diamond magnifier while keeping two key areas under observation during their inspection process:
Prong Security: Your diamond's prongs are delicate metal claws used to secure it firmly into place, so any loosening could endanger its beauty and sparkle. Our jeweller will closely examine every prong's grip around its precious gem to make sure everything remains secure.
Find Hidden Damage: Diamonds may seem indestructible, yet even they may become subject to everyday wear and tear. A jeweller will inspect each diamond closely for any chips, cracks or imperfections which might impair its brilliance or stability.
2. Ultrasonic Cleaning
Once our initial inspection is completed, it's time for our innovative ultrasonic cleaner to do its magic! Your diamond ring begins its rejuvenation process inside our ultrasonic chamber. A stainless steel tank filled with specially formulated cleaning solution and high-frequency sound waves pulsing through it at high frequencies to produce billions of microscopic bubbles that expand and contract at incredible rates, providing powerful cleaning action. That is the essence of ultrasonic cleaning! Sound waves cause these bubbles to move at incredible rates due to expansion/contraction waves from soundwaves pulsing through them resulting in powerful cleaning action.
3. Steam Cleaning as the Finishing Touch
After being bathed in ultrasonic waves, your ring undergoes its final cleansing step: steam cleaning. A powerful jet of steam blasts away any remaining dirt or solution residue left clinging to it - leaving behind only sparkling diamonds! This step ensures an impeccable shine all around.
Imagine steam cleaning as the finishing touch on an exquisite piece, clearing away any dust particles to reveal its true brilliance in all its beauty.
4. Polishing
Now that the cleaning has been completed, our jeweller will turn their attention to the band of your ring. He or she will use either a soft polishing cloth or a gentle machine to buff away any scratches or tarnish in its metal surface and restore its lustre - an essential step toward improving the overall beauty of the ring.
Rhodium, an expensive precious metal that provides white gold it's signature bright white finish, wears off over time leaving its surface yellowed over time - we offer this optional service as a means of returning its stunningly brilliant luster.
5. Final Inspection for Approval
Before returning your ring to you, our jeweller conducts one final examination under magnification to guarantee its excellence and ensure that any residue or dirt has been eliminated from its surface.
When Should It Get Cleaned Again?
At TJ Gold, we advise having your diamond ring professionally cleaned every six to 12 months to preserve its brilliance and detect potential issues early.
