Most jewelry boxes are fabric lined and have specific compartments for rings, necklaces, etc. If you don\u2019t have a jewelry box, try wrapping your items in a clean tissue as a temporary solution. One last thing you may want to check periodically is that the stone is snug in its setting. If it gets loose, you risk losing it, so you\u2019ll want to get it fixed immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for cleaning your diamond jewelry, a regimen can be discussed with your jeweler. Most people have their items cleaned once or twice a year by a professional (especially items like wedding bands that may undergo a lot of wear and tear). If the setting is white gold, it may also need rhodium treatments periodically to avoid turning yellow. Never use an ultrasonic to clean your ring at home, from this the stones in your ring may loosen. It is best to only use an untrasonic cleaner when taking your ring to get professsionally cleaned and even then make sure to check your ring for any loose stones after. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-06-at-10.32.11\u202fAM.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"442\" height=\"458\" data-id=\"5018\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-06-at-10.32.11\u202fAM.png\" alt=\"This pen helps clean engagement rings easily \" class=\"wp-image-5018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-06-at-10.32.11\u202fAM.png 442w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-06-at-10.32.11\u202fAM-290x300.png 290w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-06-at-10.31.37\u202fAM.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"442\" height=\"458\" data-id=\"5017\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adiamor.com\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-06-at-10.31.37\u202fAM.png\" alt=\"Foam and brush kit for a quick but efficient \" class=\"wp-image-5017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-06-at-10.31.37\u202fAM.png 442w, https:\/\/adiamor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Screenshot-2025-08-06-at-10.31.37\u202fAM-290x300.png 290w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In between cleanings, it\u2019s a good idea to practice due diligence at home by soaking your jewelry once or twice a week.
