Treated Diamonds are diamonds with flaws which have undergone a process. In order to achieve the appearance of a natural Diamond, we have this 2 technological advancement method: Laser drilling and Fracture filling. This can treat or hide its imperfections and make it invisible to the naked eye. Inasmuch as the diamond treatment affects the features of a Clarity Enhanced Diamond, there are certain rules you should take note of when cleaning these stones.

Polishing Your Clarity Enhanced Diamond Ring

If bringing it to a jeweler is not possible, then the best way to clean a Clarity Enhanced diamond is to brush with a soft bristle toothbrush. Gently brush the sides and surface of the diamond. You can also use a dry and soft cloth. If you decide to bring them to a jeweler, tell them ahead of time that the stone has undergone a treatment. Re-cutting the stone can also weaken the stone and can be damaged eventually.

Cleaning Products

Avoid using ammonia and ammonia-containing products and chlorine. Research studies claim that those chemicals can alter the enhancement process done on the stone. Rather, use mild dish soap or look for a jewelry cleaner that is also safe for cleaning pearls because a solution that is safe for pearls is also safe for your clarity enhanced diamond.

Repairing Clarity and Enhanced Diamond

Have a special precaution when it comes to repairing a treated diamond. Tell your jeweler ahead of time that you have a clarity enhanced diamond when you take the stone for repair so that he will know what cleaning procedure he must or must not do. Intensely high temperatures can harm the enhancements of fracture-filled or laser-drilled diamonds. So jewelers must take an extra care for mending tools, especially the jeweler’s torch. Its high temperature won’t damage HPHT (high pressure and high temperature) diamonds, but it could alter the color of irradiated stones.

Proper Storage

You should store your jewelry pieces individually in their own respective areas of your jewelry box or wardrobe. This will help you prevent your treated diamonds for future scratches on the stones and also the metals.

Resizing Your Treated Diamond

Resizing a clarity enhanced diamond can put your diamond at risk. So before deciding, you must tell your jeweler right away that your diamond has undergone a laser drill or fracture filled procedure to avoid further damage.

Be Cautious on Using Household Cleaning Products

Ammonia is one of the main components of an everyday household cleaning product. So when doing household tasks, remove your clarity enhanced diamond jewelry or rather use rubber gloves while doing those chores. If your work brings you in contact with any kind of acids then make sure you protect your clarity enhanced diamonds from exposure to those chemicals to avoid damage to your precious stone.

The Use of Ultrasonic Cleaners and Steam Cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning and Steam Cleaning are safe methods for cleaning your clarity enhanced diamonds. These are safe because most of the jewelers are using these methods for cleaning your treated diamonds while they are in their store.
