This extensive piece sets out all that you require to ensure the diamond you wear remains as stunning as the first time you wore it.
Understanding the Nature of a Lab-Grown Diamond
Before we talk about how to take care of them, let's first talk about what makes them special. A lab-grown diamond is, chemically, physically, and optically the same as a mined diamond. Lab-grown diamonds are cultivated using cutting-edge technology, and because of this, they have superb clarity and shine. Also, they are ethically produced, so they are 'brilliant' in every way.
Since diamonds rank a 10 on the Mohs scale, both types of diamonds are also very tough, and so they are perfect for everyday wear, like the invaluable pieces of jewelry, such as engagement rings, that people wear to work and school. That said, they are still going to require the work and effort to take care of them.
Daily Care: Small Habits That Make a Big Difference
Wear with Intention
Lab-grown diamonds may be tough, but metal settings (like gold or platinum) can be affected by your daily activities. Take your jewelry off when:
- Exercising or lifting heavy things

These habits help protect the diamond in addition to its setting.
Avoid product buildup.
Things like lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, and other cosmetics can leave a residue on diamonds, dulling their shine as time goes on. Make your jewelry the final touch when you're getting ready.

Caring for Different Types of Lab-Grown Diamond Jewellery
Engagement Rings
Since people wear diamonds every day, especially rings, they are the most subject to wear and tear. Be extra careful with the prongs and settings. This is especially true when the diamonds are set in a solitaire or a halo style.
Women’s Wedding Rings
Lab-grown diamond wedding bands, especially those with stones all around, are at risk of losing some of the small diamonds over time if they are not properly aligned. Regular maintenance keeps them all perfectly in alignment.
Diamond Earrings and Pendants
