It&#8217;s <strong>dull, cloudy<\/strong>, and no matter how much you clean it, it just isn&#8217;t the same. <strong>What happened?<\/strong> Why do Diamonds lose their shine and sparkle?<\/p>\n<p><h2>TLC<\/h2>\n<p>\nWell hang on to your seat, <strong>Don&#8217;t Trade In that Diamond yet<\/strong>, there&#8217;s still hope for that Diamond Ring yet! <\/p>\n<p>All it needs is <strong>a little TLC<\/strong>. (Not to mention a really good cleaning!) I know, I know, <strong>you&#8217;ve cleaned it<\/strong>. You clean it all the time. Nothing makes it shine anymore. Well obviously, the way you&#8217;re cleaning it, <strong>it&#8217;s just not good enough!<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s time to invest in a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B007Q2M17K\/?tag=jewelry-secrets-20\">Jewelry Cleaner<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>\nYou see, Diamonds collect dust and dirt and lotions and food and baby spit and <strong>diaper goo<\/strong>. (what ever that may be) Over time <strong>this slime coats the bottom of your Diamond<\/strong> like a hard shell. So it&#8217;s time for a&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><h2>Professional Cleaning<\/h2>\n<p>\nTrust me, when it builds up over years, to the point that your Diamonds look <strong>dull and cloudy<\/strong>, then it&#8217;s going to take a Professional Cleaning to chip away at that debris. Sometimes it takes <strong>hours to soak<\/strong> and agitate enough in the cleaner just to loosen the <strong>layer of gunk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;ve seen Diamonds go without a bath for <strong>years<\/strong>. That junk is practically <strong>welded <\/strong>on to your Diamond. No wonder <strong>it doesn&#8217;t shine anymore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;ve seen Jewelers have to actually <strong>torch the rings<\/strong> just to burn the coating off. You&#8217;d be surprised at how years of build up reacts. It&#8217;s like paint on a wall, you have to scrub it and use cleaners and polishers to get down to the bottom layer.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Brand new again<\/h2>\n<p>\nEventually, <strong>I guarantee it<\/strong>, your Diamonds will look brand new again.<\/p>\n<p><h2>Diamonds don&#8217;t ever dull up!<\/h2>\n<p>They don&#8217;t wear down. You really can&#8217;t even <strong>scratch <\/strong>them. They will look beautiful <strong>forever <\/strong>and ever as long as you keep it clean.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>It&#8217;s that simple<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\nClean them <strong>once a week<\/strong>. Clean the bottom of the Diamonds well. Clean all the cracks and crevices. Have your local Jeweler professionally clean them and <strong>steam them<\/strong>. Clean rings last longer. The gold stays durable and won&#8217;t tarnish. Plus your fingers <strong>won&#8217;t break out in a rash<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><h2>If you want your Diamonds to sparkle&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Keep them Sparkling Clean!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>You look down at your Diamond Engagement Ring and frown.
