Cleaning Synthetic Diamonds

Keep Your CZ Jewelry Sparkling Like Diamonds

Cleaning cubic zirconia jewelry is much easier than you think. So take advantage of these simple tips that will keep your cubic zircon jewelry sparkling and lustrous and enjoy them for years to come.

Like natural diamonds, cubic zirconia needs to be cared for and cleaned periodically to maintain their appearance. Many variables can dull their shine: body lotion, perfume, hairspray, perspiration, or just simply, normal everyday wear.

Lotion and soap film are some of the more difficult materials to remove. Just a little of any of these on your cubic stone will take away much of its visual appeal. So it’s vital to keep your cubic clean to maintain its sparkling diamond “look-a-like” appeal.

A convenient way to clean your cubic zircon jewelry is to use a small brush with soft bristles, along with warm to hot water, mixed with a mild liquid dishwashing detergent.

Brush your cubic jewelry softly to remove scum build-up. As cubic zirconium is quickly becoming more popular as a desirable substitute for diamond, it’s important to care for it properly. Jewelers can agree that cubic zirconium comes closer than any other material to matching the visual appeal of a natural diamond.

One of the most basic rules of jewelry care is to apply all lotions, make-up, hair spray, etc. first, before you put on your jewelry. To minimize scratches and other damage, store your jewelry either in a cloth pouch or in a separate compartment in your jewelry box.

Now that you know how easy it is to care for your cubic zirconium, be sure to clean your cubic zirconium jewelry regularly—depending on how often you wear it; if you wear it everyday, cleaning it once a week is sufficient.

Follow these simple tips on cleaning cubic zirconium and you can be certain your cubic jewelry will maintain its shine for years to come.
