Jewelry Care Instructions

Preserve the beauty of your fine jewelry with proper care and attention.

At Bullion Diamonds, each piece is crafted with precision and designed to be cherished for generations. To ensure the lasting brilliance of your jewelry — whether it's crafted from 925 sterling silver, gold, rose gold, white gold,lab-grown diamonds or moissanite — please follow the guidelines below.

General Jewelry Care

Avoid chemicals: Remove jewelry before swimming, bathing, or applying lotions, perfumes, or hair products. Harsh chemicals can damage metals and stones.

Store properly: Keep pieces in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box. Store each item separately to avoid scratches.

Put on last, take off first: Make your jewelry the final touch to your outfit and remove it first when undressing.

Avoid impact: Refrain from wearing jewelry during heavy work or sports to prevent chips, dents, or deformation.

925 Sterling Silver

Use a soft silver polishing cloth. For deeper cleans, use warm water with mild soap and a soft brush.

Contact with moisture, chlorine, and sulfur-containing products (like rubber bands or wool).

Gold, Rose Gold & White Gold

Maintenance: Gold is durable, but still soft. Avoid scratching by storing pieces separately.

White Gold Note: White gold is rhodium-plated for shine. Re-plating may be needed every 1–2 years depending on wear.

Cleaning: Soak in warm water with gentle dish soap and use a soft brush. Dry with a microfiber cloth.

Avoid: Abrasives or harsh cleaners.

Lab-Grown Diamonds

Durability: As hard as natural diamonds (10 on Mohs scale), but still need care.

Cleaning: Use warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush. Ultrasonic cleaners are safe for diamonds but avoid if the piece includes other softer stones.

Avoid: Oily residue or dust buildup, which can dull sparkle.

Moissanite

High Brilliance: Known for exceptional fire and sparkle. Clean regularly to maintain its flash.

Cleaning: Warm water + mild soap + soft brush. Ultrasonic cleaners are safe. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Avoid: Harsh chemicals and rough surfaces which may scratch metal settings, not the stone.

Cleaning at Home

Use a soft toothbrush and mild dish soap.

Gently brush the stone and setting.

Rinse with lukewarm water and dry with a lint-free cloth.

For deep cleaning, soak the jewelry in the solution for 10–15 minutes.

Travel & Storage Tips

Always store your jewelry in separate compartments or soft pouches.

When traveling, carry a travel jewelry case to avoid tangles and scratches.

Keep silica gel packets in your jewelry box to reduce moisture buildup.

What to Avoid

Household cleaning agents, bleach, ammonia

Pools, hot tubs, and salt water

Sleeping with jewelry on

Keeping jewelry in humid environments (e.g., bathroom)

Professional Maintenance

We recommend having your fine jewelry professionally inspected and cleaned once a year to maintain structural integrity and shine. Contact Bullion Diamonds for deep cleaning or repairs.

Lab-Created Diamond Tips

  • Cut

    The cut of a diamond defines its brilliance, encompassing its symmetry, polish, and proportions. Lab-grown diamonds undergo the same cutting and polishing processes as natural diamonds. However, because lab-grown diamonds can be cultivated with greater uniformity, cutters often achieve superior results, leading to fewer imperfections and a generally better overall cut compared to many natural diamonds.

  • Clarity

    Natural diamonds often contain imperfections or inclusions, which can impact their value and brilliance. The most coveted natural diamonds are those that are clearest and most colorless, as these qualities yield the best sparkle and highest value. Lab-grown diamonds, by nature of their controlled creation, are almost universally colorless or near-colorless. This characteristic places them on par with the most valuable and sought-after natural diamonds available.

  • Budget

    Lab-created diamonds are an excellent choice for budget-conscious buyers. Since they are cultivated in a laboratory rather than mined, these diamonds typically cost around 80% less than natural diamonds of comparable quality, allowing you to get more sparkle for your money.

Lab Diamonds FAQ

Are lab diamonds a good investment?

Lab-grown diamonds are an excellent choice if you're seeking a larger diamond within your budget or a mining-free alternative. They are generally more affordable than Earth-created diamonds of comparable size and quality. However, as with all gemstones, resale value can fluctuate. Given their relatively recent introduction to the jewelry market, the long-term pricing trends of lab-created diamonds are less certain compared to Earth-created diamonds.

Do lab diamonds test as real diamonds?

Earth-Created and lab diamonds are physically and chemically identical. Both are real diamonds, exhibiting the same brilliance and characteristics as their natural counterparts. It's impossible to distinguish lab diamonds from Earth-Created diamonds without specialized equipment.

Are lab diamonds cheaper than Earth-Created Diamonds?

For those seeking significant savings without compromising on quality, lab-created diamonds are an excellent choice. They can be as much as 80% more affordable than natural diamonds of the same size and brilliance.

Are lab diamonds flawless?

Just like Earth-created diamonds, every lab diamond is unique, exhibiting variations in cut, color, and clarity. Lab-created diamonds can possess minor internal flaws or surface inclusions, much like high-quality Earth-created diamonds. To ensure consistency and quality, lab-created diamonds are rigorously tested and graded by independent gemological labs, adhering to the same strict standards used for Earth-created diamonds.

Can you insure lab diamonds?

Yes, you can insure lab diamonds just like Earth-Created Diamonds, providing you with complete peace of mind.
