Whether you spent months saving to buy them or they’re a priceless heirloom passed down for generations in your family, it’s safe to say that diamond earrings are probably among the more prized possessions in your wardrobe. However, like any piece of fine jewelry you wear over time, they accumulate dirt and lose a bit of their sparkle in the process. We’re all about keeping our beloved jewelry in the best condition, though, so knowing how to clean diamond earrings is an absolute essential.
To ensure your earrings never become lackluster, we tapped Alesse and Melissa Bloom, the designers of Lane and Lanae jewelry in L.A., to provide you with the best (and safest) way to care for your jewels. Rather than finding a jewelry cleaning solution, the designers make their own, and you’d be surprised at how simple it can be.
“We believe in living as chemical-free a life as possible, both with what we put in our bodies and what we clean with—that includes our jewelry! We prefer making our own jewelry cleaning kit so we know exactly what is going on our jewelry and ultimately our bodies,” they say.
