Lab-grown diamonds are more than just jewellery - they’re modern marvels, created with the same brilliance and chemical composition as mined diamonds. With their stunning sparkle and enduring strength, lab-grown diamonds deserve care that matches their elegance. Proper maintenance ensures your diamond jewellery remains as radiant as the day you first wore it, becoming a lasting symbol of style and sophistication.

Follow these simple yet effective tips to preserve your lab-grown diamond’s brilliance and keep it in pristine condition for years to come. Whether you’re wearing your diamonds daily or saving them for special occasions, a little attention goes a long way in protecting these timeless treasures.

Understanding Your Lab-Grown Diamonds

Unlike treated or simulated stones, lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds, just created in a laboratory setting. At Ikecho, we carefully curate lab-grown diamonds of the highest quality, ensuring exceptional sparkle and durability in every piece.

Durability: Lab-grown diamonds are incredibly hard, ranking 10 on the Mohs scale. While they resist scratches and everyday wear, it’s still wise to remove your jewellery during high-impact activities or chores to protect the setting.

Myth Busting: Lab-grown diamonds are not synthetic in appearance - they’re chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. They don’t require special ‘resting’ periods or treatments to maintain their beauty.

Temperature & Chemicals: Although highly resilient, avoid exposing diamonds to strong chemicals or extreme heat when possible, as these can affect the metal setting rather than the diamond itself.

Cleaning Your Lab-Grown Diamonds

Gentle Cleaning: Wash your diamonds with a mild detergent in warm water and a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and oils.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Bleach, chlorine, or abrasive cleaners can damage the metal setting or diminish its shine.

Ultrasonic Cleaners: Lab-grown diamonds are safe in ultrasonic cleaners, but always ensure the setting is secure first.

Professional Polishing: Over years of wear, your diamond may accumulate minor scratches or dullness in the metal setting. A professional jeweller can restore both the stone’s brilliance and the security of the setting.

Storing Your Lab-Grown Diamonds

Proper storage keeps your diamonds sparkling, especially when not worn regularly:

Short-Term Storage: Keep your jewellery in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to prevent scratches from other pieces.

Long-Term Storage: For extended periods, store each piece individually in a padded container to protect both the stone and the setting.

With these simple care tips, your lab-grown diamond jewellery will remain a treasured piece for generations to come. Explore our collection today and enjoy the brilliance of modern, sustainable diamonds in your life.
