Fine jewelry is meant to shine for a lifetime—but even the most brilliant diamond or moissanite ring can lose its sparkle without proper care. At Scott Bonomo Diamond Setting, we handcraft every piece with precision and durability in mind, yet consistent maintenance is key to keeping your jewelry looking as radiant as the day you received it.
Whether you own a moissanite engagement ring, a diamond necklace, or a stack of elegant bands, these expert-approved care tips will help your pieces maintain their brilliance for years to come.
Clean Your Jewelry Regularly
Everyday wear leads to a buildup of oils, lotions, and dust that can dull your stone’s sparkle.
How to clean it safely at home:
-
Soak your jewelry in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for 10–15 minutes.
-
Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush, especially around the setting.
-
Rinse with clean water and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners if your jewelry has fragile side stones or antique settings—they can loosen prongs.

Store Jewelry Properly
Storing your jewelry incorrectly can cause scratches or metal wear.
-
Keep each piece in a soft pouch or separate compartment.
-
Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity.
-
Never toss multiple rings or necklaces together—diamonds and moissanite can scratch softer gems or metals.
Pro Tip: Keep a travel jewelry case handy for vacations or overnight stays.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Chemicals like chlorine, bleach, and household cleaners can weaken metal settings or cloud your gemstone’s surface. Always remove your jewelry before:
-
Cleaning or swimming
-
Applying lotions, perfumes, or hairspray
-
Exercising or heavy lifting
Moissanite is nearly as durable as diamond, but protecting the metal setting is equally important for longevity.
Schedule Professional Maintenance
Even the most well-crafted pieces should be checked by a jeweler once a year. A quick inspection can detect:
-
Loose prongs or bent settings
-
Worn metal or micro-scratches
-
Lost or weakened accent stones
Routine inspections ensure your ring remains secure and stunning.
